    There seems to be a few problems with this video. I think you should've waited to for it to melt from the beginning without pulling stuff out. Also, you didn't give the parts enough time to dry as the mouse was still wet and the modern graphics card has a lot of crevices for water to be trapped. Finally, when you were testing the motherboard, I noticed the plug on the graphics card side had partially fallen off so it's possible that caused the motherboard to not post.

    You should have do a proper drying of all parts before putting them to the test. Obviously the older GPU will survive because there's less tiny air tight zones for the water to stay trap and not dry.
    And for the new GPU & Mouse it's basically the same story but flipped the other way around.

    The damage is mostly caused by liquid damage to more liquid sensitive parts of the graphics card. If you just use liquid nitrogen on the GPU, isolating the rest of the card from liquid damage, you can get it to work. Also there is still water and condensation building up on the card, when you removed the ice.

  • @shawntw1556
    @shawntw1556 Před 9 měsíci

    My idea before finishing the video: everything but the HDD. If water got into the HDD, no amount of thorough drying would completely fix it, there would probably be some small contaminates left inside which would reduce its performance or more likely kill it.
    The rest, as long as it dries thoroughly, should still work afterwards. Fans may not work though.

  • @fuzzyface4515
    @fuzzyface4515 Před rokem

    Hard Drives, though they aren't completely sealed are fairly water proof INTERNALLY. Water almost certainly didn't make it inside the enclosure so given enough drying time for the external components it's going to be fine.
    The newer GPU probably failed because it had water trapped underneath the cooler (considering it still had condensation underneath the plastic). If it had more time to dry, it's possible it still would have worked with the exception of potentially broken heat pipes and would just thermal throttle.
    The mouse obviously still had water trapped inside it so it's not a surprise that when you plugged it in caused it to short out and die.
    The motherboard not having a CMOS battery in it is one potential reason it failed. I've worked with a few motherboards that will just blank screen while being powered indefinitely if the CMOS battery is dead/missing. The residue, like you said, is also another factor. There's so many bridged connections with the mineral build up that it's stopping it from booting. Removing the CPU/RAM in the motherboard, giving it more time to dry, cleaning up all the residue on it and putting in a CMOS battery could possibly bring it back if it didn't fry itself with the initial boot up.

    Only if the components are completely dried, it will be really helpful video

    I want to see you freeze a block of ice around an air cooler's fins, then test how it performs when installed

    Next time you freeze a component, if you want to get it out, get a seraded knife, a hammer, make a shallow cut in the ice, and gently but firmly tap on the knife, the ice should then split!
