water damage 2x 980 ti reference cards

[TatemX]

Hi Ltt

so I've been trying to water cool my rig and long story short both of my reference 980 ti cards got some splashes of ek pastel cooling liquid on them (I know I'm a d%@ckhead)

When they were splashed the system was completely disconnected from power (had been for about 3 hours) and since they got wet they haven't been powered at all. I took them apart (down to bare pcb) and paper towel dried the drops (about 4 per card) and then used q tips on the smaller spaces that were wet. And that's where I am now.

I'd like some advice for my next move, there is still some orange puddle residue on the boards, how do I go about cleaning that? And since I work in an industrial kitchen I have access to a graphic card sized food dehydrator, is this a good way to dry them? ( it's an open box that blows air from 30 to 90 degrees C onto a shelf)

Help me Linus tech tips, you are my only hope

just let them dry over night.

Use some isopropyl alcohol to get rid of the residue.

 

Then just let it dry for a day or so, it should be perfectly fine.

Give them more than a day to be safe

It's not damaged hard and the pcb looks like it always has, do you think a dehydrator is a good idea?

No, just let nature dry it out. I wouldn't risk a $650 gpu just because I'm too anxious to wait.

Hey guys, good news!!! After cleaning the cards and 5 nights of natural air drying, both cards work and my system is ready to rock and roll.

Thank you all for the help

I have driped coolance once over my harddrives, while the System was running.
And with dripped i mean it was quite a bit, not just 4 dripes.
It was aqua Computer Double Protect Ultra.

I just turned off the system and dried it with towles. (not waiting after that at all) 
The drives are running fine, without any problems.
