Smelly GPU

[new boy]

I have never smoked, I can tell if someone smokes straight away every time and it always stinks. a lot of smokers I know seem to think there is no smell, trust me there is always a smell and it is always disgusting. I won't even let people in my home who smoke, I find it that vile. The only people I let in my home, are people who I know don't smoke. Anyone else won't get past the door. In fact this is how much I dislike it, I was in a relationship for 4 years with a woman a few years back, she came home from the pub one night and stunk of it, I asked her had she been smoking and she said she had 1. She was booted out 10 minutes later and all of her stuff was thrown out into the yard. If you want to stink of ashtrays good on you, but it's not for me. It doesn't matter what it is you are smoking, it all make you stink of . I just don't get it, it is a massive waste of money, it makes you smell like a tramp and it slowly kills you... And so many fools still do it. As for the op and the smelly card, I would probably strip it down and clean it, then change the cooler.

ok...

Jeez mate... I think I need some of what your smoking

Haha rofl.

OP, just strip it down, give it all a good clean and use it as an opportunity to replace the TIM as well.

Also, off topic, but seriously?

I have never smoked.. blah blah *snip*

So, you broke up with your partner of four years, kicked them out, right there and then, and then chucked all their belongings into the garden, in the middle of the night, all for the sake of one cig?

Sounds like you did her a favor mate.

I don't smoke, never have - but good for you! I had a similar situation in a public rest room only last week. I tried to make a civil arrest but he kept struggling. Who does he think he is lighting up in there?

The next day I decided to make it my mission to find smokers everywhere. Working on my costume right now, might buzz you for some tips.

Nutter.

I would disagree with that.
I don't know if its because I don't smoke heavy ( about 10 to 12 a day ) or if its because I smoke roll ups but I can walk into a place where someone smokes 30 or 40 a day and I can smell it. also if Im working on a car that belongs to a smoker I smell it when I get into it ( I don't smoke in my car )

also the smell of standard cigarettes turns my stomach

+1

I do smoke ( Roll my own 10-15 a day ) and I also can smell where someone else has been smoking

Smoke isn't bad, All the new PNY GPUS that we purchase (Geforce or Quadro) Smell like someone at the factory has farted in every single box... Its a weird Fish/Urine/minging smell.

 

[BluD]

One of the kitchen door ranges I fit a few times a year stinks of dog muck, I'm always checking my boots when I'm opening up the boxes then I realise what range it is. I'll take a urine smell over that ta, cig smoke would almost be a treat

Lol, This thread has tickled me! I'm a non smoker and I do get where people are coming from, but each to their own, I guess. I recently bought a second hand leather foot stool, that the seller had specifically said they weren't a smoker, when I picked it up, it was a quick sell ( foot stool was out in the front yard, as I said I was coming round to pick it up) and it was only as I was driving home with it in the boot I started to smell the smoke. Got it home and my wife tried to clean it, to no avail. Ended up stripping all the leather and some of the foam off and completely recovering it. She still wasn't 100% happy, saying she could still smell it!

 

[SimonC]

lol at this thread.

OP pretty sure I've seen odour neutraliser gel before, maybe get some of that and put it and the card in a plastic box with a lid and leave it for a while, might work?

I know IPA works well at removing odours and if you get the 99.9% stuff, it'll evaporate completely. I've never tried it but maybe putting some in a box with the gpu suspended over it, the vapour might get rid of the smell.

It sounds like taking up smoking is the way to go
