I'm right by the ocean! What kind of nail polish do you like?
After three years of using a budget gaming PC, I noticed significant corrosion on the motherboard components during one of my decluttering sessions. Unfortunately, the old machine failed immediately after I reassembled it. I switched to a completely new Ryzen setup. My question is whether living near the ocean could allow me to apply nail polish to the new motherboard to prevent corrosion, considering the salty air? I’ve searched online for possible fixes and found that using an air conditioner, dehumidifier, and case filters are common solutions. A side note: since I live in Brazil, running AC all day just to play games will be tough. Also, many American chemicals for protecting electronics might be hard to find or unavailable. Thanks in advance.
Apply a clear lacquer or acrylic spray in a few light layers. Keep in mind that nail polish may affect plastic components. Make sure to cover any visible connections, like RAM slots, with tape.
