That one has my vote.

at least you didnt blow up your rig like i did with my darn canned air... wasted my DS3... i just got it from RMA, they said its now not covered with RMA.... so i got to dump it now...

so lesson learned dont be a obsessive clean jerk like me or else risk frying your own components...

try and try and try until you warranties are out...

Yep, when I was rebuilding my system after I got my w/c loop, I forgot the CPU 12v 4/8pin connector and my computer wouldn't even boot. Check that.
