    you can coat the insides with nicotine all you want,
    the only thing really effected is optical drives - i doubt a gaming rig even has a place for one!

      That Seasonic power supply retails over $600!!! 12 year warranty. Are you working for the commies lol. Wow.
      Cigarette smoke will not hurt it. Ashes, coffee, sandwhich crumbs will be bad for the mouse and keyboard though. I just dumped coffee in my CMStorm keyboard for the 10th time, pull power, take apart and put in the shower to rinse out and let it dry - it works fine.

        I also find it comical that OP is more concerned about his PC than his own health from the cigarette smoke. Sure, all of that PC hardware is quite pricey now and probably worth a grand or three... but the cost of that will be nothing compared to the healthcare bills down the road 20-40 years from now. But whatever, I ain't here to preach how one should live their life.

        The one thing that cigarette smoke will surely do to the PC hardware is devalue it more, since many people don't like the smell of old stuff from a smoker's house... of course, that's only if OP even considers selling the hardware down the road.

        My take is, modern hardware doesn't seem to last too long, so probably that GTX4090 will be dead long before it's old enough to get coated in tar/dust (probably followed by the motherboard 2nd)... though a lot of that will also depend on how hard the GPU is pushed. "Coin mining" will surely bring it faster to its demise.

        Anyways, that's my 2 cents worth.

        LOL, what a scam.
        Yea it's a Seasonic PSU, alright... but I highly doubt there's anything in that PSU worth $600.
        Then again, it's the same shit with the iPhone and the sheeple following it. I guess the gamer crowd ain't that different either.

            ^ Neither.
            It's just going to make it stink bad after some years.
            So if you try to sell it, some potential buyers might be turned off by the smell and not buy it.

            What will surely quickly kill your graphics card is "mining" (be it Bitcoin or whatever other *coin).

                I suppose that answer that question.

                If you don't know what Bitcoin, Dogecoin, or any of the other cryptocurrencies are or if you aren't involved with any, then your GPU is safe, so to speak.

                  GPU 1206 SMD fuse markings & replacement fuses
                  by eidam655
                  Hello,

                  I need to replace a fuse on one of the graphics cards I am working on. It is a 1206 SMD fuse, white in color and has a "10" written in a blue rectangle on it.

                  How do I find a suitable replacement? What is the general rule to identifying fuses' parameters? I found something in an eshop near me (see photo) but am very hesitant to use this as a replacement....

                  A funny fuse story – Lumix LX100 II
                  by corrize
                  Hello, I disassembled this dead camera, and found this WTF… Two fuses soldered one above the other !
                  I was pretty sure nobody touched it before, but that can't be from factory. There is flux, and capacitor is probably missing.
                  The other weird thing : the fuses are « G » fuse : (0.75A – 8V), seems very low. The original fuse should be « O » : (32V 2,5A).
                  There is « O » mark beside. All fuses have the same mark letter on main board. So, I can deduce it's a « O » fuse.
                  And this correspond to the issus I saw : when I plug the battery, I measure the voltage dropping...

                  Matsui 175S microwave fuse replacement
                  by drykid
                  Hi,

                  I recently picked up a used Matsui 175S microwave that was powering up (starts, turntable rotates) but not heating. From looking online the most likely culprit was the fuse, but unfortunately in this one the fuse had heated up and fused with the (badly designed) fuse holder and couldn't be removed. I guess this might indicate further issues beyond the fuse itself but at this stage I just want to replace the fuse and see how I go from there.

                  Anyway since I couldn't get out the fuse itself the easiest fix was to replace the fuse holder assembly that runs between the...

                  Replacement Fuse - 980TI Gigabyte
                  by whc14765
                  Hi,

                  I have a GIGABYTE Windforce 980TI with a blown fuse. I have already found the root cause for the fuse blowing.

                  I need help getting a replacement fuse - I'm fine with waiting some time for some cheap ones from China.

                  The fuse says 10A on it. And I'm not sure what package size it is exactly. Also, how do I know if it is a fast or slow fuse?

                  Edac/Drobo Power Supply Fuse
                  by vletr
                  Hello,

                  Looking for next steps on troubleshooting for an external power supply made by EDAC, model EA11011H-120. The power supply was dropped onto a tile floor and initially and briefly worked but the led power indicator light faded out and the power supply showed no signs of life since.

                  In disassembly, I found that the large capacitor had leaked and was reading open when measured. The fuse nearest to the AC in had also blown, with no continuity. I ordered a new capacitor and fuse and replaced both, but on power-up with no load the fuse immediately blew.
