Still dont encourage others to do this. Once broken, they can give all sorts of excuses not to give RMA. Not much improvement anyway, just buy the best GPU in market. Judgement? Yes this is risky thing to do. Many burned their GPU this way.
I spilt water (distilled which is non conductive) all over my GTX 1080. Dried off with towel and working fine.Much later on, 2 of the AC coupling caps deteriorated prolly due to the lousy asrock board that i was running. This resulted in the card stuck in x4 mode and randomly crashing the PC.
Removed the caps and bought replacement from element11 for RM2 (10 pcs).
All of the above learnt on my own over the years and from destroying my own stuff. Like blowing PSU (iCute 450W) running volt-modded 4850.
My point is, if one can afford it and should they choose to do insane shit to their stuff, they should know the risks and also deal with consequences.
And i strongly encourage everyone to do so!
edit: Oh! and thanks OP for this useful info. will help in future purchases.
