clean video card with water

Hey guys I cleand my old crapy 6600gt with water its dryed off, should I put it in my pc now?:)

So, let me get this straight. You dunked a video card in water for sh*ts and giggles? Why?

Ugh, never mind. I'm sure you don't have a good reason. I wouldn't put it back in your main computer, though.

How long has it been? I'd wait up to an hour just to make sure all of the water's evaporated. Some could have gotten inside the heatsink.Sandro909

Well as long as it's in a well ventilated area, it usually doesn't take that long to get rid of that little water.

This is true. I never said it NEEDED sunlight. :roll:

wow...just...wow. that has to be one of the most retarded things you could do, EVER, you probably screwed up your card, I would not recommend putting it back in your system, better safe than sorry.

cheers

It's true.

It runs just fine! Video card is crap, Im getting a 7950gt so that should take care of my 6600gt!

I can't believe you put an electronic ciruit in water.

dude you should work for mythbusters on discovery channel, you certainly put this one to rest.

It's true.

Hurry!!! :D

This is ridiculous, I had no idea people would be this amazed by this. I mean it's a bit strange, but I've heard of it before. There's nothing wrong with washing it in water. However I would definately leave it out for a couple of days at least. It's also best to use distilled water and don't dry it in direct heat because the contraction and expansion could cause problems.Zaber123

Argh you beat me! :P

Its actually relatively safe to wash electronics in water, as long as (like stated above) it is pure water (minerals could collect on the card otherwise) and the item must dry COMPLETELY. If theres any water left it could short out and fry the card...

lol

Well I have, I remember someone had their router damaged by a leak and they managed to clean off all the minerals from the water, let it dry and it was fine (I think :P)

I don't think I would ever try to clean a computer like that.... really a can of air is all you need!

o my,he did dunk it in water.

most i would do is use a slightly damp napkin,at most
