3 days is a reasonable amount of time if its been in a place with decent airflow
Inspect to make sure theres no visible moisture and you should be ok
I’d be more worried about static electricity putting bare electronics on a cloth like that.
Update: THIS MF FUCKING SURVIVED (All working now, thanks everyone who responded to this post :D)

I washed my mainboard in the shower once, dried it with a fan and started it back up 20 minutes later 😂 worked for years until my loop started leaking.. you will be fine
Rice, where TF is the rice?
If water made it’s way into the HDD, it’s probably on borrowed time. It’s also a good idea to rinse all PCBs with isopropyl alcohol to, hopefully, stop any future corosion.
After 3 days you can though
I’m not sure how wet it got, but next time, I’d also remove the cpu to let the socket and pins air out too
Depends on how wet it got, over 100 ml of water and im letting that shit dry for 2 months
What kind of porn were you watching to get it that wet.
Glad it survided.
If this happens again:
Would have removed the CPU from the socket because water can get under the CPU.
Try to disassemble the 2.5′ SSD if possible for the same reason. Water can be in the case of the SSD.
Clean it with isopropyl alcohol first, itll stop water corrosion in case any of it got in places that wont just dry on their own
another 4 days, just because…
Where is the rice or silica
what is this pc? i havent seen these parts since the 40’s lolo
Next time something like this happens put the components in or on rice
It’s an AMD who gives a shit
If you’re ever worried about water damage, remember this. My father once found an old tv outside someones yard to be picked up as trash, he brought it home, powerwashed it, and waited about a week or so, and it worked good as new
