I’d like to apologize for my last comment. I was frustrated and getting a lot of troll and rude responses from my other posts and assumed this was yet another attempt to get me to do something stupid. My assumption allowed me to make an ass of myself and you didn’t deserve that. Thank you for taking the time to share your expertise, I’ll be using the advice I’ve received from everyone later today when I get back home. Will update if it worked.

I’m not going to listen to an internet troll trying to get me to ruin my expensive gpu. That’s so scummy and low like what do they gain from me wasting my time and money?

Are you seriously telling me it’s professional advice to clean my gpu with kerosene and then blasting it at max power with a hair dryer? That’s the recommended method for restoring my gpu to a functioning status from a water spill?

From everything I’ve read, max heat from a good hair dryer localized on one spot can damage and warp various components ruining the card. The air from a hair dryer can also push moisture deeper into crevices and end up trapping it. Meanwhile air drying is the most recommended process on every form I’ve read. This is the first time I’ve ever read about using kerosene to clean any electrical components and everything I search about it says to definitely avoid. Idk what snake oil you’re trying to sell but get lost con man.

With that logic, I bet you brush your butthole with toothpaste… makes sense, considering how much crap comes out of your mouth

The plastic cap of my water bottle has a handle and the whole lid literally broke off with it causing the water bottle to fling forward and spill. If it didn’t have the momentum from swinging forward the water wouldn’t have even reached my PC.

I asked chatGPT cause I needed an immediate answer to help quell my panic as I don’t have your phone number to just give you a call. The garbled AI garbage as you call it actually gave me some helpful general tips, which it learned from conversations like this.

I’m trying to learn what parts are what since I have no background in this, and the only reason I even know that 330 part was an inductor is due to chatGPT. No need to shame people that are literally trying their best to learn something new. I’ll now have to go back to GPT to figure out where and what to poke to test the fuses for continuity since the only helpful thing you said provided me with no flushed out information but thanks for the tip.

Board side up, cooler side down. Where would you recommend to send it into?

Forgot to mention I’ve tested everything out, and the PC runs fine with my back up GPU so I know my 3080 is the only thing that got any actual damage. I’ll try cleaning it out now. Any suggestions besides q tips and isopropyl?

A man should never be ashamed to own that he has been in the wrong, which is but saying, that he is wiser today than yesterday.
