Depending on the quality and “hardness” of the tap water, you’d want to reduce the amount of water that air-dries to a minimum. As it evaporates, it’s likely to leave behind residue that can be harmful to the operation of the card.
You’d want to pat dry all reachable surfaces, blast high-pressure air in all the crevices, and bury the card in a pile of desiccant baggies to minimise the risk. Rinsing the card one more time with distilled water, in order to flush out the tap water would also work.
Well, you do have a point. In fact, didn’t Linus of LinusTechTips managed to revive not one but two wet laptops - the first accidentally, the second intentionally - after opening it up and airing it out to dry?
In this case here, I think if you disassembled the cooler and let the entire thing to air-dry for a few days it might be able to work again.
Most, if not all, blower-type reference cards only have one fan in my experience.
AMD is actually a good value for those on a budget.
Well not yet probably a few more months. but honestly unless if you want to play game on triple 4k monitor setup at ultra setting there aren’t real benefit for current games.

Fine. The 1180 then. 1090 was just a made up example to make a point. Which still stands.
There’s always something better coming out and I was done waiting.
Is the 1080ti even out yet? None of the stores I looked at carried any. As far as I know the 1080 was the latest and greatest at the time I payed for it (june 23rd).
Edited
You know, first off all there isn’t 1090 going be launch by NVidia based on 900s series because there is no 990. And second of all GTX 1080 TI is the most powerful of 1000s series unless if you count Titan X pascal but it’s too pricey for gaming. So no unless if you wait till 1180 out which is next year to next couple year. There isn’t going be a one would suggest you another powerful card.
Edited
I had already been waiting for 8 months, just waiting for the right time and right components to buy.
I had the money and I didn’t wanna wait anymore. If I had got the 1080TI someone else would have asked me why i didn’t wait till the 1090 came out or something.
You didn’t wait for GTX 1080 Ti?. While still 1080 have a lot of horse power on it. But 1080 are more powerful.
Ouch, right in the wallet.
THERE GOES MY GAMING DESKTOP PC THAT COST LIKE OVER 9000 BITS
Edited because: Two letters change everything...
And here I am stuck with 940m but at least It have like 3 times the power of my old laptop GPU which is amd 7500m and my old amd 7500m love to overheating.
Can’t wait, gonna save up for a 1070! :D

Well, you could probably clean mostly any piece of electronic this way, provided power to it is cut off, and you try not to get something wet that you would end up regretting doing so.
Imagine you or someone else spilled soda or something similar in such a way that it got into the computer case (e.g. the computer sits beneath the desk, an open bottle of Mountain Dew topples over, a stream of soda hits the floor and splashes everywhere, etc.) and now you’ve got sticky fluid gunking up your graphics card (among other parts). As long as the power was cut before anything shorted out fatally, this would be an acceptable method of trying to rescue the card.
Granted, distilled water would be better than tap water, but as long as you take care to pat dry everything you can and otherwise remove as much of the water as possible before it evaporates (e.g. with a can of compressed air) the already small chance of residue remaining and harming the card is minimised even further.
Obviously this wouldn’t be a recommended cleaning method, but it wouldn’t be the instant death sentence for the card that some make it out to be.
NVIDIA Master Race :D
and nothing of value was lost
That’s a freak occurrence. You can’t base your opinions on freak occurrences. Well, you can, but then they will be unreliable and not correlate to reality.
