i was board so i fliped the can upside down and spayed it in to my heat sink and damn i droped from 50c to 25c and 50% difference but try it on your own risk dont spay it anywhere else on the board its verry very cold but its a eazy way to keep things kool

it is also a way to screw up the system, especially in liquid form.

Don't forget when you do that it causes the moisture in the air to condense and freeze....making that white stuff called ice...

Electronic components DO NOT mix well with water as if you didn't know.

I hope your jokin man, I remember never to shake it at all like 10 seconds before i spray into my cd player n stuff just so i wont get any of that white ice. I would never think to hold it upside down and spray it directly onto something that valuable, well i've done it to my arm a couple times hahaha but never anything so fragile and expensive. Hope it didnt mess anything up.

It's also a good way to freeze your mother board :

U're not suppose to shake the can or tilt the can sideway or upside down. If u do liquid will come out faster then it can turn into gas form.

I use the air blowers all the time on my components (and we always did at my old IS job). But as aforementioned, do NOT shake the can, or it will come out in liquid form and end up condensing on your fragile components like icycles. Simply hold upright and spraw in quick, sweeping motions.
