    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.

    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.
