Tony_Toughnuts Posted March 21, 2003 Posted March 21, 2003 Are cpu's water proof I cleaned my cpu on the top and bottom and I think the liquid may have gotten inside the processor. So are they Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave_189 Posted March 21, 2003 Posted March 21, 2003 Nope Nope and Nope.... Like any electronic device... Nope Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mafiakid Posted March 21, 2003 Posted March 21, 2003 actually.... electronics are water proof in one way, you can dip your video card / sound card / any card in water and in the end it will still work.... but thats only if you let it dry completly before you plug power into it. but i don't know about cpu's. i can guess that it is the same if you got water on your cpu, make sure it is completly dry before you plug it in.

alechko88 Posted March 21, 2003 Posted March 21, 2003 it is absoloutly not! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
d3bruts1d Posted March 21, 2003 Posted March 21, 2003 It's fine as long as it dry's compleatly before powered up. There was a custom waterblock a while back that didn't have a base, instead water was projected directly to the top of the CPU die.

Jonny5 Posted March 21, 2003 Posted March 21, 2003 Only if you used distilled/deionized water which is what you should use in a water cooling system any ways. water itself is completely inert and ia a horrible conductor of electricity. It is the stuff that is suspended in most water like minerals, chemicals, etc. that cunduct electrical charges. NASA cools its super computers by completely immersing the components in cooled Distilled water. If your going to clean thermal goop off your processor the best thing to use is a small amount of denatured alcohol (get it at any hardware store) and a lint less cloth. This is the method recomended by Artic Silver. Anyway I doubt you got water inside the coreof the processor unless you cracked it and if you crqacked it the CPU is dead anyways so it doesn't matter. j5 out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

YODA74 Posted March 23, 2003 Posted March 23, 2003 Becouse of corrosion even with tepid water if you want to submerge then read thru these http://www.chemicalprocessing.com/Web_Firs...ID/DGRN-4UTTHU/ http://products3.3m.com/catalog/us/en001/e...ler/output_html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So are they Yes yes and yes. They are. The only catch is... you can not send any current through the circuits. If you do... then there may be some fireworks. I was skeptical too, until my professor dipped a desktop in water, and then powered it on a week later. Strange... but true. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
