Building my first pc

[Cane316]

This thread has made my lunch hour!

Hope it all works for you, who knows, Irn-Bru might turn out to be good for overclocking!

In the process of de-lidding to test it out. Benchmarks soon

ill need to clean it all with a damp cloth, Would I be better just letting it air dry?

I think if you use distilled water with a soft brush will be better. Air drying is good, but you'll want to use a hairdryer ideally, much more airflow that way and will dry quicker.

Yes, air dry or COLD hair dryer.
