So,I just teared down my entire PC,clean it using sink water and put it back up using only 2 old non-magnetic screwdrivers that were not the right size for half the screws,with no manuals,alone and without ever building a PC in my entire life,it may sound kinda dumb for most of you but I feel kinda proud of myself,so I just wanted to share it with ya :P.

Tairetsu there is nothing wrong with being proud of yourself for finishing a task you wanted done.  I enjoy working on pcs and I wish I could do it as job but for now it is only a hobby and anyway I remember many times being quite proud of myself for the work I did with pcs.  It is the one thing I can do right much of the time in this world.  Anyway hopefully the components have dried out and you don't end up frying the pc when you plug it back in.  Make sure you give it enough time for it to dry.

Too many ****ing games!  Back log 4 life! :S

Hats off to you if it still runs after that ... 

... Life is a game and the checkpoints are your birthday , you will face challenges where you may not get rewarded afterwords but those are the challenges that help you improve yourself . Always live for tomorrow because you may never know when your game will be over ... I'm totally not going insane in anyway , shape or form ... I just have broken English and an open mind ...

why the hell would you clean your motherboard, GPU, and hard drives using water in a sink?!?!?

 

Because it was very very dirty and I do not have access to compressed air :P.

 

how long did you let it dry?

 

About 5 hours,the heatsinks were not fully dry when I put them back in their place,but thankfully that did not matter much.

The HDD was not very dirty thankfully,so of course I did not use water in it,or the disc drive,RAM and PSU.

I hope you pulled the BIOS battery out. If you leave it in the mobo there is still current running through it, you know that right?

I once cleaned off a CPU's thermal compound by wiping it off then leaving it in soak in a sink. It worked fine. I just didn't have any rubbing/isopropyl alcohol around.
