Hey JAY!!! I used to work in a lab, so here is some hopefully useful advice to keep you safe and maybe save you some $$$. TLDR: You can concentrate your isopropyl alcohol, and don't breathe in the fumes. If you want to concentrate your lower isopropyl alcohol so it can get to that 98%+ concentrations, you can pour some of your alcohol into a jar and add in lab-grade desiccants (look like tiny stone orbs)into the bottom. This will draw the water to the bottom allow you to draw up the concentrate at the top out. Note: Do not shake the jar afterward, you'll just mix it all back together... trust me, it was a headache when others would do that and it'd take up a couple days before we can use it again for our experiments. Additionally; avoid breathing in those fumes! It'll irritate your lungs and cause potential problems. If you need to work in an area like that, use a fan to help push the fumes away from you and your wonderful cameraman, or use a pressurized area to work in like a fume hood to stop you from looking over it and hurting yourself. Each solution you have like that should have a chemical hazard sheet that you should read and have at your work station in case of emergencies... for legal and safety reasons. We want you to make more content safely. Love your content and I am not trying to yell at you, just want you to live safely and happily with your family, and this helpful and supportive community. Stay sane and keep smiling.

Why is this man putting a GPU in a deep fryer? Lol

"How jay destroyed his studio with an alcohol vapor explosion"

Louis Rossmann's cat Oreo has some expert thoughts and recommendations on how to do this right.

Jay, I work in medical manufacturing and we use these exact ultrasonic tubs. You do NOT want to use alcohol directly in the tub, its a massive safety hazard for a number of reasons. (We get training about this shit, seriously) Instead, fill the tub with about 3-4 inches of water and then put the alcohol in a hotel pan or plastic bin inside the water. Much safer that way and it also helps control the (explosive) alcohol fumes you are experiencing there.

Ultrasonic cleaner tip. Put the card in a plastic bag and fill the bag with the alcohol. Then set the bag in the cleaner and fill the remainder of the tank with water.

"How to create a gigantic blast risk by using large cheap ultrasonic cleaner and flammable liquids"

PRO TIP: If you put the card in a sealable glass container (even with a plastic lid), you only need to fill the container with alcohol. The cleaner can be filled with demineralised water. The sound (ultrasonics) will pass straight through the glass. If it is like cleaners I’ve used before, the emitters are up the sides of the cleaner, so placing the card sideways will yield a better result. Imagine tiny blasts travelling from the sides to the centre. Keep in mind, you may need to flip the card inside the container as the effectiveness of the cleaning through the plastic lid will be diminished. Also good using solvents in glass jars for car parts!

"Smells like steak." Somebody from Craigslist: That idiot thought my deep fryer was an ultrasonic cleaner!

Louis Rossmann: *anger noises*

"Worst part of painting is the cleaning" Can confirm as a 20+ year professional painter.

“I wish I had a clean toothbrush” if only there was a $300 cleaning device that was right in front of me! LOL that was a good one jay

you forgot to bread it in season flour and egg wash first but other wise looks pretty good i'd eat it

Jay: "I wish I had a clean toothbrush." Also Jay: Has an ultrasonic cleaner literally right in front of him.

Next time you see Jay without eyebrows and eyelashes, you know he was using his ultrasonic cleaner with 99% IPA and things didn't go his way.

This series with overclocking the GPU is really interesting, also it's very nice to see your development

pretty sure 99% isopropyl is a fire hazard. Louis Rossman did a good video on how to use one safely at some point.

Even ultrasound isn’t enough to clean The Verge’s CPU, CPU cooler, and Motherboard.

Jay: How to clean computer parts. Everybody: How to make a bomb with alcohol. Never ever use flammable liquids in things like parts washers. One spark and BOOM. There are much safer ways to achieve the same effect.

I really love these kind of videos, anything you're teaching, or showing new stuff like this that I've never seen.. just interesting

Next video: Jay installing a range hood over his table.

You will destroy that cleaner if you don't fill it up with water to the line, put the gpu inside a plastic zip-bag or glass container with the alcohol inside it.

Watching this...and then watching Louis' take on it. This should be good....there were a few points I was like "why are you doing X" already....can't wait to hear Louis.

Awesome Jay! A few days ago I sent you a message exactly asking for a deep cleaning pc parts video. I dunno how I´m going to get a ultrasonic cleaner but you nailed it! Thanks for the video!

Jay I have to say, after watching you dip the tip of your finger in the cleaner. Please DO NOT submerge your hands or any body parts inside the ultrasonic cleaner while it's running, unless you want arthritis a lot sooner than you would otherwise. The vibrations in the liquid will destroy the cartilage and stuff inside the joints of your fingers (or any body parts). I work on Medical equipment in hospitals and labs, and ultrasonic cleaners are one of them. This is one of the things they drill into our heads before we ever touch an ultrasonic cleaner.

How to clean your PC: Google: *Shows this video* Bing: "Hose it down!"

you act so happy man.. keep that energy up! really appreciate your videos.. peace from germany ! :)

Nick's enthusiasm is a mood

I can't wait for Louis Rossman's reaction video to this!

He bought a JACUZZI for his gpu how nice of him

For the record, pure water just like alcohol is non-conductive. It doesn't evaporate easily like alcohol though.

Hi Jay, I study engineer and metals and we have these ultrasonic cleaner in our lab that we use, a good way to save alcohol/acetone(we use acetone), is to fill the machine with water and use a smaller container to just hold the thing you wanna clean and the alcohol, the fluid is just to transfer the ultrasonic, so you don't need to actually fill it with alcohol but rather just use mostly water. Also, the machine wont be contaminated and can keep clean cause the smaller container will catch the washed off stuff.

Tomorrow’s video: JTC overclocks the supersonic cleaner

Turns out, that professional overclocker? He knows his stuff and what he is talking about. Who knew right?

A trick we use in RC to clean bearings. Fill USC with water. Then Using a smaller container fill that with your cleaning liquid and put it in. 2 benefits less risk of combustion of agent and less agent needed. I use a beaker for bearings, but any material for smaller container will work, plastic, glass , etc

Your vid came just in time! :)

It was horrifying watching him almost blow away a $1500 graphics card like it was a wayward leaf.

Jay, you know 2020 is never going to end so these daily uploads will have to continue for eternity. 😁

That’s a huge cleaner, and can’t believe the price you got it for...... Gotta say @JayzTwoCents you changing the title of this vid, guessing from Louis’s comment/vid; is COOL, & shows the humble/humility you have.....and not making big deal of “being wrong” etc.... (hope get what mean). Cool to everyone being adults, not having social media war and blah blah blah. Like you and Louis and the TechTuber community is TRULY AWESOME, and again, think your awesome for not pulling vid/comments/likes/dislikes.....and just edit title, making a “fun joke” of the situation. Congrats bro👍🏻👍🏻 Happy new year✌🏼

These are really fun to watch, wouldn't mind some more of this even after 31 days of techmas

Linus cleans pc parts using a dishwasher. Jay cleans parts with a bomb. Lol 💣

Never this early. I was expecting it to be jayfourcents

Welcome to the world of ultrasonic cleaning, Jay. Brushing/scrubbing between cycles is definitely the way to go for best effect. Also, for adhesives, acetone or paint thinner is better. I'm sure you'll find lots of uses for it now that you've got it.

I have a lot of friends who do retro video game repair who swear by ultrasonic cleaners. I'm not that advanced yet, but I can certainly vouch for the isopropyl alcohol. Cool video, as always!

For the love of everything that is holy DO NOT follow jayz's advice in a closed or poorly ventilated room and make absolutely sure not to sniff to close to the IPA bath, at that concentration and quantity the vapors can irritate your airways and eyes. You can actually pass out from this and never wake up.

Finally! Someone is using ultrasonic cleaner too for cleaning computer parts!

Hey jay love your content, you can use way less fluid by filling the cleaner with water, then using a zip lock bag for the card with IPA in it. This was the gross stuff stays in the bag and doesn’t get all over the ultrasonic cleaner.

Awesome video Jay and friends

Well ultrasonic cleaners WERE available until the scalpers saw this video. Thanks Jay

Substitute title: JayzTwoCents sniffs a couple tablespoons of 99% alcohol

The ultrasonic cleaner be like: "Do you ever feel, like a plastic bag?"

"It burns, but it makes you know you're ALIVE" Yes Chef, thank you Chef. Though it's usually lemon juice. That's what reminds us. Haha

Now imagine someone lighting a match 6 feet away

Should've thrown the brush in with the card.. you would've had a clean one to use 😆

this is the most calm Jay has been in a while - the fumes must be nice...

Might want to check the manual for your machine, some of them REALLY don't like being partially filled and will destroy the traducers. Another thing, if you can get one that is deep enough for a card to fit vertically it will help with getting the particles to move off the card and settle in the bottom of the ultrasonic.

That’s one drunk graphics card!

"Stop inhaling Jay" I'm pretty sure your body would object.

That satisfaction after seeing gpu clean and fresh

you should absolutely do this with other components a series of just these as a timelapse would be great

jay you're a smart cookie, you know about ventilation.....! good video but be safe!

came from Louis Rossmann's channel

Expected a fairly common "how to clean ur pc parts video" This caught me by surprise!

Thanks this guide is what I needed.

8:20 While it has very low conductivity. Isopropyl alcohol can still kill electronics if you run them while they are still wet. You can never guarantee the purity of a solvent like IPA after you spill it on something

Jay: Jay stop breathing

not sure why, but that was so therapeutic!!

That is fun, I enjoyed watching this.

last time i was this early, jay was still digressing 🤔

"the memory is gone"

Very interesting video. Enjoyed it quiet a lot.

11:59 when Jay almost Linus's the card of the table LOL

If you want to use save on alcohol get yourself a shallow pan big enough for the gpu to sit flat, fill the pan with alcohol and put it on the rack inside. Then you fill the bath with water until its roughly halfway up the side of the pan. It will transfer the waves to the pan just fine and you then only need to clean small pans and use small amounts of alcohol. This is how we use ours in the lab to process samples.

This gives me anxiety

Another good use for the ultra sonic cleaner is water blocks in your custom water cooling setups. Really gets into the microfins to remove any buildup.

Hey Jay, I work at a Napa Auto Parts and we use Mac's Thermo-aid (part # 7100) to disinfect everything. It consists of 99.9% isopropyl alcohol. That might be a cheaper option.

8:20 yeah and it's extremely flammable too!

did you read the instructions about the minimum level. It looked too empty. also putting alcohol in an ultrasonic cleaner is an explosive risk lol

It's good to see some professional electronic cleaning techniques making their way in to the domestic market. Probably still be a while before you have heated wash tanks, 50C ovens and Vacuum ovens appearing though. I love seeing peoples faces the first time they see us cleaning their very expensive electronic equipment in a hot bath of alkaline. Even after over 20 years of electro-mechanical restoration, the look of raw panic makes me smile.

This process looks scary but end up pretty awesome

Anyone notice how suspiciously good Jay is with Vasaline?

LOL I GOT ADVERTISEMENT FOR CAUGHING. IS MY PHONE LISTENING OR WHAT?! 😂

Was kind of hoping to see the gpu reassembled. Great video nonetheless!

Fill the tank up as previously stated. Also you can partially submerge things for cleaning without any issue, if you want to put half your motherboard in then flip it for the other half.

1:48 triggered the hell out of me.

How to scratch a table: Step 1: 0:02

11:12 Dude it all came off im so happy no Jay thats the alcohol fumes talking lol

I used this equipment a lot a while ago. The sound is very unpleasant but it does its job. Well, I would recommend using nitrile gloves like the ones of my photo to protect the skin and avoid that dryness. Very interesting video!

I'd rather watch old people f***ing than watch Jay smear his hand on a perfectly clean stainless surface again.

Next video: How I burnt down my studio

When the camera zoomed in, while brush cleaning the board submerged, i could smell the alcohol they were inhaling 😂🤣 the things we do for tech

We used this style of cleaner for electronics in the USAF. If I remember this correctly (I separated from USAF in 1990) we used a coffee cone filter when we drained it so we could look for residue left. That told us how much work it did. Sweet memories. Thanks.

Can I just put my entire pc in one of those?

Jay, please make a video on how to transfer Windows from one drive to another. There is not a lot of straight forwards tutorials on KZfaq. Hope you see this. Thx

Thank you for this video.

Jay if you going to do this alot go to nail supply store. You can get gallons and cheaper if you buy by the case witch is 4 gallons. Also i would recommend hanging it metal and metal contact from the tray sitting on the bottom will cause it to rub on the PCB or board. I use it on hardened metal parts that get scratched.

Cleans it, immediately proceeds to spit on it by blowing on it

hmmm u can achieve the same effect with a ziplock bag and a viberator,, #bigbrain

Don't know if anyone has noted this yet, but I really appreciate the low music in the background it's quite soothing :D

Should use it in a well ventilated space. the Fumes can damage your lungs Jay........
