  1. I attend a technical university, I'll see if there's something on-campus I could use
  2. thank you, I think I used 91% so I'll see if I can locate a higher concentration
  3. Nope, no residue or discoloration. Looks brand new
  4. Forgot to mention, I let it dry for 4 or so days before taking it apart and cleaning
  5. Accidentally knocked a cup of water from a Brita filter over on my desk which dripped into the top vent of my PC. It had been on overnight and was still working when the water fell in, so I took the side off and dried the puddles that were on some of the case surfaces, and put it back together. Kept working for 3 more hours until it froze and would not turn back on. I tried booting twice with my main GPU still in, A Strix GTX 1060 6GB, and the OS booted and the GPU fans/RGB turned on, however, there was no visual. Took the card out and a few drops of water fell out. My second card still works and the system booted fine and there was a signal to those monitors. I voided the nonexistent warranty and used isopropyl alcohol to clean the corrosion, a small amount on the fan controller chips and one or two more various small components. I checked for bulging capacitors and other parts, but everything seemed fine. I put the card back in and the same result, OS booting (windows 7 made the bootup sound) and I could login, but there was no signal to my monitors. Is there any hope for my GPU? I really don't want to shell out another $320 for a card I used for less than 6 months. TL;DR: Brita water seeped into GPU, fans and RGB still turn on with Windows booting, but no signal to monitors.
