scenic ore Jul 11, 2023, 4:47 AM

#

i dont see where its burnt

surreal rain Jul 11, 2023, 4:47 AM

#

Its slightly more blackish

scenic ore Jul 11, 2023, 4:47 AM

#

talking about this?

surreal rain Jul 11, 2023, 4:47 AM

#

Look top right

#

Yea

#

Did the gpu die from this?

#

I haven't tried it

scenic ore Jul 11, 2023, 4:48 AM

#

based on visual inspection, no

surreal rain Jul 11, 2023, 4:48 AM

#

It did burn tho

scenic ore Jul 11, 2023, 4:48 AM

#

how did you know that it got burnt

surreal rain Jul 11, 2023, 4:49 AM

#

It was cuz of me dumb

fathom cobalt Jul 11, 2023, 4:49 AM

#

I don’t even see where it was burnt so definitely not that bad

#

The best thing to do would be figure out what connects to what and take a multimeter to it, but that’s a lot of research

surreal rain Jul 11, 2023, 4:50 AM

#

Well can't u see it's more darker?

#

There are dark spots

#

Would I be fine plugging this in

#

I dont have a multi meter sadly

scenic ore Jul 11, 2023, 4:51 AM

#

yeah, but what did you do

#

i think telling us what you did will help us determine if its actually damaged or not

#

pcb discoloration is bound to happen over time

surreal rain Jul 11, 2023, 4:51 AM

#

Well I'll tell u it was cuz of heat

scenic ore Jul 11, 2023, 4:51 AM

#

a heat gun

#

no need to be embarassed

surreal rain Jul 11, 2023, 4:52 AM

#

Yea 🙂

#

So i heated that part too much

#

It has dark spots on the top part now

scenic ore Jul 11, 2023, 4:53 AM

#

thats fine

surreal rain Jul 11, 2023, 4:53 AM

#

Could this burn short the circuit?

scenic ore Jul 11, 2023, 4:53 AM

#

why are you using a heatgun on your gpu

surreal rain Jul 11, 2023, 4:53 AM

#

I was drying it after cleaning cuz coffee spill

scenic ore Jul 11, 2023, 4:54 AM

#

bad idea

#

shouldve just let it air dry

#

let it soak in some 95% IPA

surreal rain Jul 11, 2023, 4:54 AM

#

Also does this mean my gpu might fail in the future? Should I sell it ?

scenic ore Jul 11, 2023, 4:55 AM

#

uh

#

no

surreal rain Jul 11, 2023, 4:55 AM

#

Would ipa been enough to clean coffee the gpu was smelling like coffee

#

I just rinsed it in water was that a bad idea

scenic ore Jul 11, 2023, 4:56 AM

#

the point of the ipa is to dissolve any sugars or polar materials on the gpu

surreal rain Jul 11, 2023, 4:56 AM

#

I see

#

I am gonna try pluging the gpu

scenic ore Jul 11, 2023, 4:56 AM

#

it wont do much since you'd want a cleaner but letting it sit in IPA is better than nothing

surreal rain Jul 11, 2023, 4:57 AM

#

Don't burnt spots like become conductive?

scenic ore Jul 11, 2023, 4:58 AM

#

no

#

if you ever spill anything the rule of thumb is to not use an air drier or heatgun

#

and to let it naturally evaporate which IPA helps too

surreal rain Jul 11, 2023, 4:59 AM

#

Yea I should have know this earlier

#

How long would it take the gpu to dry?

#

After 24 hours mine still had moisture

#will this gpu work?
