would it work if you washed it off and then let it dry for a couple of days?? a friend of mine claims it does but i find it hard to believe.

You might want to just take a cotton ball and use alcohol to clean your motherboard off and buy a bottle of compressed air to get rid of any dust and stuff where you can't reach. Isopropyl Alcohol dries fast and leaves nothing behind. I'd do that if I were you.

but seriously, i had to wash a mobo and a videocard in my kitchen sick with some dish soap after my motor oil submersion experiment. as long as you make sure you dry it well enough it should be fine.

I have heard that before, anyone want to try it out and see if it is trueJ_I_M_B_O said:On a side note:
Fun-fact: If you try to boil distilled water, it will not boil since it has no impurities and instead with super heat and when removed from the heat will explode... in your face
I kid you not
Bah...I did once in a desperate pinch. Just rinsed it off. Then I used a blowdryer to completely dry the thing before anything could corrode. After that I let it sit for a couple of days just in case there was a pain in the arse water spot that didn't dry.DeanZawistowski said:would it work if you washed it off and then let it dry for a couple of days?? a friend of mine claims it does but i find it hard to believe.

Distilled water still has impurities; just less than tap water. It has impurities the moment you open it and expose it to the atmoshere. It has even more when you pour it into your pot; by chrning and pouring the water, you're mixing it with air.
Distilled water will be a little more likely to superheat than tap water, but it really does boil.
