i dont no how you dident fry the mobo ?

 

[S_I_N]

board prolly was sprayed with conform plus allowing it to dry out properly before powering up should be fine

 

[Rasmus66]

Board works fine.

You just have to put it in a oven for about 30 mins at 60 degress celsius then it will be dry and ready to bench some more

I've done this many times before without ever killing a motherboard

What was in the bath? Fairy Liquid?

Also, what kind of temp and bench improvements are you getting, or is it mainly aesthetic improvements?

Normal h20 and soap

I've seen some pretty bonkers things, but that is raving....

You can wash most computer parts in water so long as you dry them out completely before running any volts threw it

Not sure if I would trust myself turning my Rampage III on after a water bath tho

Defiantly looks cleaner

 

[sheroo]

Not sure I'd be comfortable with my motherboard at gas mark 0.25 for 30 minutes.

Made me look like that

but hey its clean now and its working no problem, i probs wouldn't do it myself

 

[gert van rooy]

i have seen before placing the mobo in baby oil but whit water and soup neva seen that before

 

[Rasmus66]

Board still works fine.

Only problem is that the ram dimm closest to the 24 pin connection still have some dirt in it so W7 only reads 4 gb.

 

[Ya93sin]

Jet wash time?
