Ok, well, if component aren't damaged, it will work, but I'm not sure why everyone suggest to dry out for so long.

 

My friend was entering the pool with cellphone in his shorts, swim around, exit, and he realized then. He took mask off, let cellphone on sunlight for 15 minutes, get mask back (with LCD not exposed to sunlight), and everything did worked fine just after 15 minutes, I'm just saying, for sure, it is more secure to let it dry for longer time and no one can vouch it will work, but week is a bit too much...

My experience with this stuff is led me to dry it for days or until I know its as dry as it can be.

Yeah, it is good just to make sure, but again, water evaporate fast, the real danger is if there is something else mixed with water, and that is conductive (he most likely didn't get distilled water :P). But yeah, more time = better, but week is way way too much (even few days), few hours should do the job, but better safe then sorry, you are right.

Thank you guys for all your responses, I just assembled the PC on my table and it booted, loaded into windows and everything looks fine, I0ll have to check the graphics card temps though I forgot to do that, anyways it wasn't making any noise, so i guess it is still cooling just fine, I'll clean the case now and put everything in it again.

 

:D

Put all the parts in a basket of rice and leave them there for a few days. maybe a week to be safe

 

EDIT: Didn't read your last post, sorry

I would clean everything with isopropyl alcohol like the graphics card, motherboard and cpu. Then reapply thermal paste where needed. However, if water has gotten into the power supply, I wouldn't use that again.... :(  :(

Last time this happened to me, all I did to fix the situation was tip the PC on the side of the case with the side off for a few days next to the heater on low. This did the trick for me.
