help dryed coke on gold connector

also, if it happens again, use isopropyl alcohol to clean any electrical parts - it will be fine as long as you make sure they're dry before any current goes through them - coke is very corrosive so should be cleaned off as quickly as possible
(for a keyboard I'd be tempted to run water through it - unplugged - to clean out the coke and then dry thoroughly, a cool/warmish hairdryer would help - needs to be absolutely dry before using again)

I actually see online to use this same spirit stuff on the keyboard, its my new keyboard so I don't fancy cleaning it in water.... although ive done it before with a razer lycosa I had. Im really not sure wether to jus reinstall windows to a ssd, is there gonna be much diff in speed, ive installed steam n all my games on a ssd but windows is on my hard drive

Thanks guys

There will be a big difference in speed as far as operating system responsiveness goes.

You should do it now before you install lots of stuff and personalise the OS.

How about gaming though, if I end up installing most of my games on the ssds and ive installed things like steam n origin on it, will it be better for gaming the way it is you think as I mainly game on my pc

It won't make any difference to gaming, but you might as well do it. It won't exactly take long when you installation is clean. I'm sure you will use the PC for other things. Browsers will open faster, applications will open faster, files will open more quickly, your PC will boot more quickly.
