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

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.

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.

How to cool computer parts: Google: replace thermal paste, increase ventilation/airflow Bing:

would be interesting to see the results if they were completely dry and cleaned off water residue

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

Assuming you let them dry properly every single electrical component will work just fine

I would be interested to know how many of the parts survive liquid nitrogen that freezes much faster and more aggressively

Everyone: "why would someone do this?" mryeester: "I think we have computer soup!" Everyone: "understandable, have a nice day"

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 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?

3:15 I gently disposed the ice mr yeester : Throws the ice

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 😆

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.

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.

4:44 maybe its because you froze them for 3 days and one of them was more protected

Imagine a world where we have zombie pc parts, I wouldn't be surprised if he's behind this

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

Takes the "washing your motherboard" meme to a whole other level.

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

2:14 this is what boomers think crypto mining is

You're iconic in PC community whose every other video is so interesting! Lot's of love!

HHD are airtight enclosure with only solid state electronics on the outside. This was a very good video showing the differences of electronics

Finally he did something that I really wanna do when my PC components overheat

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.

Man goes from 10 views to 400 in like -2 seconds Edit thanks for the likes

Fun fact. Hard drives are water proof

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

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.

Nice But is it possible to build a full working PC in a freezer. That would be interesting. Keep your Great Work up :)

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.

2:22 He took GPU mining too seriously

the hard drive is basically an air/water tight component. there is little to no openings on most modern hard drives for air/water to get in.

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

the amount of problems in this video it’s like u didn’t even want to see which survived and tried ur hardest to break them all

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.

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.

This man is my new favorite tech KZfaqr. Keep up the good work

i think a lot of the mother board damage came from when you sprayed it directly with the water

Okay guess I won't be freezing my mobo, cpu and ram to save it for later

I want to see you freeze a block of ice around an air cooler's fins, then test how it performs when installed

As long as certain parts didn't break from the temperature, and it dried first. That all should work. But I'd be worried about the watch battery in the mobo filling with water

Yes finally a longer video

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.

3:21 I love your shirt! I’m a huge TLOZ and fan! Awesome video dude!

It was so cold, his CPU was running at peak efficiency 😂

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.

Keep up the great work!

6:42 im pretty sure the reason it still worked is because drives are sealed so no dust will be able to get in and same for water no water will not be able to get in at least thats what i think

Cool little test lol, I enjoyed it

i just love this channel a lot lol

The new gpu is more complicated in the architecture so it has smaller and more fragile parts that could easily be damaged if treated badly

Yeester: will gently dispose this ice... Also yeester : *yeets it off the balcony*

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!

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

Thermal paste been real quite recently

Love your content! Hopefully you get more views and subs!

Ah yes, best way to solve the shortage.

this video hurts me seeing those pour parts being blasted with the #1 enemy i feel so bad for those parts

Paused at 1:34 to make the following prediction. I think the expansion from freezing the water around these parts will cause damage to the small components even if they are completely dry with no corrosion before spinning them back up.

I have an idea for another video, which is similar to this, but you put all the PC in a freezer and not use any fans or cooling elements.

The old graphics card problably worked because of the high quality components, like the capacitors, chips and soldering.

Man I am so happy. I accidentally froze my hdd the other day and have been wondering if it will be ok.

Should plug some of these in with pure ice on em

Love your vids!

I think there's much larger space for water to hide in the newer gpu personally.

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.

"you know, technically this is a soup" In the Stray game (yes the cat game), the soup there for the robots are RAM and wires for ramen noodles yes

try to freeze half of the components to see if it’s still gonna work or not or even show corruption

theres a good chance that the damage could of been done while trying to break the ice bud ie when we shock cold kit there a big change of braking solder joints. well done great vid.

Freeze a full PC with the case, monitor, keyboard, mouse, speakers and maybe other accessories

Probably need too wait longer for the parts too dry out that weren't working in the video here.

The newer GPU surely had some water underneath the plastic which killed it the moment you plugged it in

“Technically this is a soup.” Carful there you are playing with fire.

fire video, thanks bro

maybe try the hdd again but with some data, should be interesting

Something about watching you fill a tub of computer parts with water felt downright evil

Thank you very much! What a good video ! Keep up creating contents please :) Really good content for real

Technically, everything should be able to survive as long as they naturally melt and are all 100% dried

Finally you uploaded

I think if you'd have fully dried them out, they all would've worked

Expansion of the water may do the damage, since without electricity water will do 0 damage other than long term corrosion

There was no CMOS battery installed when you tried to boot the mobo cpu ram combo.

3:55 You need the gpu driver, i had the same problem with a old GT 640 or GTX Palit 1070 ti

an ultra random video and first that I watched from you, but damn its a good one

you didn't let the dry for long enough

Thank you men ❤️❤️❤️💙 It's the best video I've seen

Maybe there still was some electricity trapped in the parts when you added the watter and the water then maybe shorted the circuits and so breaking the parts.

Well if freezing didnt kill the parts the crowbar sure will lol

I love your experiments

I was going to say the HDD was fine, then you got the hammer.

the reason maybe hard drive still works it because its maybe sealed so good until you open it,and that say bye bye to hard drive xd,water didnt maybe even came inside of it

You should freeze some "non essential" parts, like a monitor, keyboard, CD/dvd/floppy drive, maybe freeze a cpu cooler, stuff like that

This video is definitely going to blow up

This is next level cooling

Ah yes, a helpful video for when I plan on bringing my pc parts in a tub of water to Mount Everest

Air cooling, water cooling and now solid cooling!

This is like a school science experiment but with computer parts it’s so interesting but I wish he could go into the science more

I’d really like to see some PC accessories being frozen, like USB’s, monitors, keyboards, older mouses, etc.

i could be wrong but when you tested the Motherboard i noticed the GPU cable was not fully plugged in on the out.
