Contact Cleaner ?

You may or may not have read the disaster that happened to my system thanks to a Raijintek AIO cooler, however can solder joints be cleaned with Contact Cleaner? As they have what looks like corrosive green dye on them after a major leak.

Back of the sound card for example, which was cleaned up as much as possible

Yes or bog standard IPA will work and be much cheaper.

I'd just use IPA for it as it can be had for cheap on rainforest or Ebay. I'm really surprised that it hasn't been killed tbh with all that liquid on it.

Thankfully I replaced the liquid some months back with deionized water

IPA is Isopropyl Alcohol

( or Indian Pale Ale - but that won't clean too well

)
