There seems to be a few problems with this video. I think you should've waited to for it to melt from the beginning without pulling stuff out. Also, you didn't give the parts enough time to dry as the mouse was still wet and the modern graphics card has a lot of crevices for water to be trapped. Finally, when you were testing the motherboard, I noticed the plug on the graphics card side had partially fallen off so it's possible that caused the motherboard to not post.
@@TwinShards all motherboards post without cell battery. Some of them refuse to go after BIOS thought, or store data from BIOS (so they cannot even detect hard drive and store it, so BIOS knows what disk was detected etc...)
The newer GPU was probably still wet which caused shorts, same goes the mouse The hard drive still worked because they're sealed to prevent dust from corrupting data
@@zUltra3D 1 spec of dust can completely destroy the entire drive as it bounces around on the platter at 5400 or 7200 rpm. Essentially rendering it useless.
You should have do a proper drying of all parts before putting them to the test. Obviously the older GPU will survive because there's less tiny air tight zones for the water to stay trap and not dry. And for the new GPU & Mouse it's basically the same story but flipped the other way around.
In theory, they would be completely unaffected unless the expanding of the water damaged anything. This is if the parts had no minerals tho otherwise I have no idea myself lol
There's a high chance once dried out completely it will work just fine. I know this because I washed one once. Artifacts at first but once all dried out with air nozzle from a air compressor it had zero problems.
The hard drive kept working because there is an airtight seal where the disks are and it prevented water from getting into the disks so it still worked
@@Tobi_DarkKnight nitrogen cooling doesn't mean just pouring nitrogen on a graphics card. it's done in a specific way and it's used because the card gets extremely hot. if the card isn't hot the nitrogen is just gonna crack it.
I was also thinking that the hard drive could have been affected by thermal expansion and water damage but then again it's not a Western Digital or Hitachi drive so it makes sense.
the HDD probably would have break if it was placed in the middle of the ice cube. Being near the side the ice had no mechanical power to compress the tin silver cover (bending inward this cover into the disc can break the HDD)
@@neosonixyz yeah definitely could cause issues in that sense. But judging by how the video card acted this time I'm 90% sure it still had water in it somewhere. But I agree with you I do feel like if it were frozen and unfrozen multiple times that it would eventually quit working no matter how dry you let it get just because the small fractures that would be created
Always have a baseline. Meaning, show it is working. Before you froze it. Also some Dell laptop motherboard refuse to boot without CMOS battery. For mouse, you may want to open it before drying.
I really like these longer vids. Even when it’s longer the attention span is really on point. I wounder if you will ever make a pc building video or not. Other than that I really enjoy your experiments
Imagine someone's computer getting frozen in ice during some extinction event, being unearthed by aliens, who then got the HDD data back and just found a massive collection of memes.
I left my old rig jostling around in the trunk of my car for an entire Maine winter and was quite surprised to see it worked fine when I plugged it back in 😆
The damage is mostly caused by liquid damage to more liquid sensitive parts of the graphics card. If you just use liquid nitrogen on the GPU, isolating the rest of the card from liquid damage, you can get it to work. Also there is still water and condensation building up on the card, when you removed the ice.
3:45 thank you for identifying this card. I have it, and could not test it. It had strange DVI port. Nothing could be plugged into it. Now I know, that it is OEM Radeon HD3450, with dual DVD-I port. Thank you.
Would be interesting to see if dissembling and properly drying the parts would help, that would show that the ice/cold is the only thing destroying the components, and not the water.
If this guy was patient enough to wait longer after thawing for all the water to evapourate and without prying the components out he might have gotten better results.
why didnt you take the heatsinks and plastics off and dry the parts? it probably would have made the new gpu and mouse survive, seems like more of a user error simulator then a actual water survival test.
the reason the hdd still worked fine is because there sort of sealed in a way has some venting in it but very small and would be hard for the water to get inside it so it would've been just hard frozen outside and not internally
freezing it or heating it will have the most minimal and negligible thermal expansion if at all typically damage from thermal expansion are from years of cycles
@@CreeplayEU Some motherboards (Usually OEM ones from Dell, HP, etc) will not boot without a CMOS battery in them. I've "repaired" three "broken" OEM computers for friends and families just by putting in new batteries. XD
i'm pretty sure that if instead of just waiting for the things to dry and test them you would open them up, make sure they were all dry and clean, everything would have worked just fine except for the mobo+cpu+ram combo
I washed a GPU card once because it was from a smoke environment. At first it worked great when I thought it was completely dried out, but then came major artifacts, and refused to work right until it was completely dried out with a air hose. Most of the moisture was under the ram and GPU. After that though, it worked flawlessly and gamed with zero issues.
i remember dropping some old gpu, the main thing was bent but when i plugged it in my older pc it still worked, cant believe how stuff got more fragile overtime
Next time you freeze a component, if you want to get it out, get a seraded knife, a hammer, make a shallow cut in the ice, and gently but firmly tap on the knife, the ice should then split!
My idea before finishing the video: everything but the HDD. If water got into the HDD, no amount of thorough drying would completely fix it, there would probably be some small contaminates left inside which would reduce its performance or more likely kill it. The rest, as long as it dries thoroughly, should still work afterwards. Fans may not work though.
Funfact: If you leave it for a day after taking the ice off, they will work. I once broke my keyboard every key pressed some other key and left it dry for like a day and it worked.
Before even to watch this, i can say this.. No matter how much and what water is there on parts (aside from HDDs for obvious reasons), when they dry completely, they will just work... I did wash some old parts, that had dirt and crap on them, that was unable to clean properly just with brush, and after they are dry they are more then fine..
My prediction: OLD GPU, CPU, RAM will stay working. Mother board, new GPU and hard drive will be broken Edit for results: I forgot to mention the mouse so I won't count it, but I was about 75% there
Hard Drives, though they aren't completely sealed are fairly water proof INTERNALLY. Water almost certainly didn't make it inside the enclosure so given enough drying time for the external components it's going to be fine. The newer GPU probably failed because it had water trapped underneath the cooler (considering it still had condensation underneath the plastic). If it had more time to dry, it's possible it still would have worked with the exception of potentially broken heat pipes and would just thermal throttle. The mouse obviously still had water trapped inside it so it's not a surprise that when you plugged it in caused it to short out and die. The motherboard not having a CMOS battery in it is one potential reason it failed. I've worked with a few motherboards that will just blank screen while being powered indefinitely if the CMOS battery is dead/missing. The residue, like you said, is also another factor. There's so many bridged connections with the mineral build up that it's stopping it from booting. Removing the CPU/RAM in the motherboard, giving it more time to dry, cleaning up all the residue on it and putting in a CMOS battery could possibly bring it back if it didn't fry itself with the initial boot up.
Seagate has a 1TB per platter structure now, so, i believe if you used either an older Seagate, like from BEFORE the fancy green labels, like when the word Barracuda was in Orange, then there would be more than 1 Platter per TB... OR any of the newer 2TB+ Seagate drives are multiple platters.

The hard drive still worked because they're sealed to prevent dust from corrupting data
Dust doesn’t corrupt data. They are sealed so it doesn’t land on the disk and crash into the microscopic magnetic head at 7200 rpm

The reason the HDD survived is because it has a seal between the actual mechanics and the outside which makes it waterproof. Maybe the board too?

More likely was sealed, but some are not as they have a small opening and behind it is a dust filter inside.
Assuming you let them dry properly every single electrical component will work just fine
Yeah, although I wonder what would happen if you repeatedly do this, because water will freeze and expand in gaps
@@neosonixyz yeah definitely could cause issues in that sense.
But judging by how the video card acted this time I'm 90% sure it still had water in it somewhere.
But I agree with you I do feel like if it were frozen and unfrozen multiple times that it would eventually quit working no matter how dry you let it get just because the small fractures that would be created
