    I prefer using Colgate to really give it that shine.

    I’ll pass, I like my motherboards the way I like my women, slightly dirty but within tolerances.

    Also make sure to use the most corrosive cleaning agent you can find. The corrosion is what makes your motherboard more waterproof.

  4. is regular water ok, or should I get some from the beach?

    Just remember to use pressure washer…that foam could damage mp otherwise.

    You’re using actual soap and not shaving cream like we learned in kindergarten?

    Would not be surprised if it works after you let it dry for a week.

  8. You can actually do this, I’ve done it before on old Amiga boards that suffered the effects of the evil Varta barrel battery attack.

    Cleaned it up with either vinegar or lemon juice to neutralise the alkaline then cleaned the boards with warm soapy water, rinsed them and left them to dry in a warm place for a few days.

    Water doesn’t kill the board, water + electric does.

    As long as it’s completely dry when you power it up it will be fine, you can even put them in the oven on a low heat for a while to speed up the drying process.

  9. Hooking it up to a car battery with jumpers really helps get rid of the electric ants.

    Stupid question: wouldn’t it still work if the water just dried up ? Can’t be a short when no electricity is flowing right ?

    Nah, I like to save time and take a bath with my entire tower. Then I save even more time by checking emails while I’m in there too.

    I just got a new motherboard like a week ago does this mean I still need to clean it?

    Just spray something flammable inside the case while everything’s on

    See I think you get a lot deeper a clean if you take it out the back of the house and hit it with the power washer!
