@Tech YES City I am not sure what your specific taste in music is, but the music used in your videos, especially this one is legendary. 10/10. Keep up the great content.
Hey mate, after watching your videos years ago cleaning parts in the sink, I had an x79 motherboard that wouldnt work after. I thought that I had dried it out thoroughly, but turns out i was incorrect. Essentially, I wrote the board off and put it aside. 6 months later I thought id test it for shits and giggles, and low and behold it booted. So I suggest that you spend a bit more time drying it out, or like other commentors have said, put it in a low temp oven to completely dry. Unless, you have fried something in the process, chances are it will come back to life.
As it's not getting that far when it comes too booting, have you tried something like a heatgun on the ramslots & chipset solder joints ? Ofc add aluminum foil where you don't want heat, like a layer or two. Pretty common for some boards too fail on the ram slots themselves, but do also give it some more time too dry out, you never know... Might be worth trying too see if you can boot with a pci-e sata controller if its perhaps the onboard sata that has failed in some way.
20+ Years as a PC enthusiast, 100s of PC builds, and I've never seen someone use an ultrasonic cleaner to clean PC parts. This is definitely a different approach to cleaning PC parts and even more interesting it's safe for power supplies knowing they store power in capacitors for an extended period. Very interesting video, love the content, thank you!
@@techyescity No ofense but the safest way to discharge capacitors is to bridge both the terminals with a screwdiver, this is a risk for your health because the charge from some capacitors are rated above 100 volts and CAN kill you. i would stop putting high wattage power supply into water, all other parts are fine, the ultrasonic can knock off some of the tiny components at worse, i liked your method of clening only with break cleaner o multipurpose spary better, be safe bryan nevertheless i enjoy all your videos
The first time I saw you clean parts with brake cleaner, I was floored. Now there's a light coat of spray paint on fans. Crazy stuff. Also - so glad you show your failures. Even the pros face setbacks.
Almost every other youtuber: "Dont take the powersupply apart its dangerous!" Brain: *Takes whole powersupply apart and proceeds to throw it into the water* 🤣
Its not dangerous if u do everything right but as we all know there are dumb ppl out there and they can get hurt thats why noone recommends doing this.
Regardless of short term outcome, when cleaning electronics you should at the very least use demineralized or distilled water as the minerals used to clean the tap water even dried thoroughly will start the process of corrosion or at the very least remove some of the protective coating applied from factory which would also contribute to corrosion long term, probably not very important for a $300 PC but considering its a 'maintenance video' you are actually better off leaving them dirty and only cleaning heatsinks, fans and changing thermal paste and thermal pads where applicable, sure looks nice but you are effectively shortening the lifespan of the components.
" remove some of the protective coating applied from factory which would also contribute to corrosion long term" 8:11 - didn't he reapplied the coating for corrosion purposes?
That's nothing I throw mine in a sack then chuck it in crocodile infested river,then collect it by using the Crocs heads as stepping stones to retrieve the sack. No problem clean as new!🐊🐊🐊🐊💻😆
@@madtech5153 multi-purpose spray isn't the equivalent of factory coating, I am not bagging on this method I am just saying this isn't good long term, he is doing it on a $300 PC so doesn't matter but wouldn't want people to start doing this to 2-3 year old PC's just cause they got dirty and they think this is a proper way to clean electronics.
I have an idea to further up your automatic cleaning game. After you give it a quick blast with the data-vac you could create a mini DIY wind tunnel with some fans in a box or something to that effect to set the parts in overnight or for a few hours whatever you think they might need. Maybe with the dehumidifier to get that extra peace of mind.
It might be worth dunking everything in isopropyl alcohol when you get it out of the ultrasonic bath. Presumably it would go a long way towards getting rid of the water from nooks and crannies.
Love seeing how easily you stealthed out that CPU cooler. I'm going to do the same on my son's build and it will make a big difference for him. (I found a z270 mobo at a garage sale for 20 USD!!!)
Brian, maybe you've heard this before, but you give distilled water a try w your ultrasonic treatment of parts. The minerals and other stuff in tap water are actually one of the more conductive parts of water. I've been told that with that lack of minerals in distilled it can actually remove grime better, especially rust.
I would be afraid to use water on PC fans, i think bearing lubricant is going to be washed out and the bearing will run "dry" . Spray paint the cooler and cables was smart btw :)
While other Tech UA-camrs are dancing and 'forelock-tugging' in the Windows 11 conga-line you are turning out great content. Until I saw your first ultrasonic video I had no idea this was possible. Cheers.
You did an awesome job with that build, it sucks that such a good mobo turned out to be bad. Honestly, the aesthetic of that build is simple, subtle, and refreshing to see.
Hey Bryan. How do you manage to get all the water out of the case fans? There is not much of a gap between the plastic frame and the fan motor. Your thoughts would be appreciated. Cheers, Mon from Brisbane

last ditch effort could flux and heat gun the solder joints on the whole motherboard, i had to do that on a old socket 775 motherboard that had boot issues i used to have. worst case i would guess replace all capacitors or the cpu socket if that happened to be the culprit, not sure if you can actually get replacement lga 2011 sockets or not.
Use Distilled water for cleaning because tap water contains minerals and that minerals seeps through electronic component and may result to a short circuit/permanent damage
Great video as always, love watching your videos As a side note, I noticed you sprayed the heatsink and connectors black; you might want to apply some painters tape onto the connectors and on the bottom of the heatsink to prevent any of the ink from getting on there
Should probably mention that people shouldn't be chucking their hard drives in there, there's no way to thoroughly clean those without introducing more particles inside than there was
its no problem to use an ultrasonic with your methode, but after blow the whater out, you should put it in isopropanol for 1h and than blow it out and let it dry ✌🏻
@@wa2368 450 degrees F, for 6 to 8 minutes. I got results by baking the motherboard upside down, so the solder flowed back onto the CPU socket pins. You may want to remove any batteries on the motherboard. Ball up some newspaper to keep parts from contacting the baking sheet.
Brian, I love your content, but the right way to do it is to remove all the heatsinks/thermalpads from mother board and gpu befote put it on ultrasonic cleaner. And of course a plus, after remove the hardest water if you have a Controlled coldframe will be helpfull to remove the remaining humidity, special under the BGA parts, like gpu chip and motherboard chipsets. BTW, the video is pretty nice, congrats.
@@RandomDude1999L I meant the fella doing the video shoulda watched a video first and used distilled water like you said. Sorry if my first reply to you came off wrong . I was just agreeing with you my friend. Cheers.
How much would 30 litters of distilled water cost? Here it costs quite a bit especially when buying it from local hardware store or the supermarket... A can of multipurpose costs $3 and I have tested this method years ago on parts that are still working to this day.
In the states, we have this saying "taking the L", meaning talking the loss. Sorry you went through that with the motherboard Bryan! Oh, I'm sure you'll bounce-back with some near future builds profit wise. Enjoyed the video. Informative!
i had a i7 2600k that wouldn't boot past bios and it was actually a dead cpu to my suprise .... if i set it to boot off one core in bios it loaded fine
Brian , i have been burned on a few used tower purchases. I can totally relate . Sometimes "No Profit" and you're lucky to break even...........Sucks when it happens
Next time you wash components heat them up in a drying oven or with a hairdryer to drive off ALL the moisture because I don't think that little Datavac blower is getting all of it off especially the mobo and under the chips on the board.
I would have not used the RGB RAM, but otherwise using what you had on hand the build turned out fine, and as you said those of us who build/repair/flip/salvage PC's long enough you will run into problems that will make you pull your hair out, you just have to work around it, and make the best of it.
Liquid damage on the motherboard maybe? What electronic screwdriver are you using? I bought one that is a little too fat to get to some of those tight screws.
if you are dumping 5 filthy parts in distilled water, its only a matter of a few minutes and that water becomes so saturated with gunk and minerals you wonder what good it would do.
@@Rem_NL you have a set amount of times to use it. I normally use it when I need a board to be very clean water damage boards. I've been working on electronics for 15y I know wtf I'm doing
@Tano anything that is conductive if it attaches in an ic more specifically power management ic does more harm. I've replaced thousands and it's always the same problem of other repair shops using tap water on ultrasonic cleaners
It pains me the most when motherboards go bad... Especially if there's signs of life! My worst experience was when I've bought an Acer mini PC and I've taked out the motherboard to make a hole on the bottom for the added GPU. Everything was working perfectly fine, but after putting all together, the pc started to randomly decide to boot or not to boot... I've tried everything, nothing works...
I was like "pls don't cable manage before testing" Also this is pretty much my pc specs after you put in the new parts, very reliable even after 5 years, except for the fans that died on my 970
Just a note on that bad motherboard... If you update the bios it may fix your problem.. I have done that on several MB's with similar issues and has worked.. Not all, but close to 90%
on cleaning the PSU: cut the cable ties and make sure the cable sleeving is dried out too... I have made the mistake of not letting the PSU totally dry out only to have the unit blow on my and fail... also, in the spring, summer, and fall... you can leave the parts out in the sun to dry out, I don't know about the winter there in Australia, if its warm enough... I use WD-40 as a lubricant for all the contact points... I even spray WD-40 on memory modules and the molex connectors to make it easier to make connections. as for the CPU, no... the WD-40 can short out the CPU and damage it... in a intel processor, it would work, but AMD uses a PGA design and the lubricant won't dry out right away. I even drentched a AMD CPU with rubbing alcohol and that helped and didn't hurt. also, from what I'm hearing, AMD is going over to a LGA socket for the new AM5 platform... yet to be seen.... Great video! Thank you Brian!
When you use a ultra sound clearner it can knock somthing loss like smd components and if the the is a bad soldering under one of the chips there is a huge chance to make the micro tear bigger and ruin somthing and please dont drop fans in there you will ruin them and dont use water use 90% IPA because of
I got weird issue when i chanced my RAM speed back to AUTO, cause i wanted to upgrade it physicly to another sticks. But then my computer got stuck basicly; i just took out the battery and it resetted it back to the default settings and works again. I cross tested different components and without drives connected, so it was definately mobo issue. Never had this bootstuck thingy happen before, now i know what to do, but do disconnect your drives before taking the battery out, not sure if it can scramble your data. Better safe than sorry.
Detergent gives water the ability to dissolve oil particles. There is silicon oil in these thermal pads on the motherboard, on the ram etc. Putting the parts without taking thermal pads out may not be a good idea. It can damage the performance of the thermal pads.

if you are dumping 5 filthy parts in distilled water, its only a matter of a few minutes and that water becomes so saturated with gunk and minerals you wonder what good it would do.
@@Rem_NL you have a set amount of times to use it. I normally use it when I need a board to be very clean water damage boards. I've been working on electronics for 15y I know wtf I'm doing
@Tano yes, but having to start with water already with heavy metals it isn't idea for repairs that you want heavy metals removed.
@Tano anything that is conductive if it attaches in an ic more specifically power management ic does more harm. I've replaced thousands and it's always the same problem of other repair shops using tap water on ultrasonic cleaners
@Tano if it works for you go right ahead every electronic compound is sensitive..when dealing with consumer's device I rather do it right.
It pains me the most when motherboards go bad... Especially if there's signs of life!
My worst experience was when I've bought an Acer mini PC and I've taked out the motherboard to make a hole on the bottom for the added GPU. Everything was working perfectly fine, but after putting all together, the pc started to randomly decide to boot or not to boot...
I've tried everything, nothing works...
Bruh this music is getting better and better each episode.
Did you try externally flashing the bios?
What about washing ot in denatured spirit if you can't get the water out fast enough?
Stealth look = 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I was like "pls don't cable manage before testing"
Also this is pretty much my pc specs after you put in the new parts, very reliable even after 5 years, except for the fans that died on my 970
Great Channell Mate really good
Just a note on that bad motherboard... If you update the bios it may fix your problem.. I have done that on several MB's with similar issues and has worked.. Not all, but close to 90%
Also, take out the motherboard from the Asrock Desk Mini and slap it in the biggest case you have!
Add in a GPU from the wi-fi m.2 slot.
the stealth look was cool! is it safe to use any type of spray-paint?
on cleaning the PSU: cut the cable ties and make sure the cable sleeving is dried out too... I have made the mistake of not letting the PSU totally dry out only to have the unit blow on my and fail... also, in the spring, summer, and fall... you can leave the parts out in the sun to dry out, I don't know about the winter there in Australia, if its warm enough... I use WD-40 as a lubricant for all the contact points... I even spray WD-40 on memory modules and the molex connectors to make it easier to make connections. as for the CPU, no... the WD-40 can short out the CPU and damage it... in a intel processor, it would work, but AMD uses a PGA design and the lubricant won't dry out right away. I even drentched a AMD CPU with rubbing alcohol and that helped and didn't hurt. also, from what I'm hearing, AMD is going over to a LGA socket for the new AM5 platform... yet to be seen.... Great video! Thank you Brian!
When you use a ultra sound clearner it can knock somthing loss like smd components and if the the is a bad soldering under one of the chips there is a huge chance to make the micro tear bigger and ruin somthing and please dont drop fans in there you will ruin them and dont use water use 90% IPA because of
I love this ausi.
I got weird issue when i chanced my RAM speed back to AUTO, cause i wanted to upgrade it physicly to another sticks.
But then my computer got stuck basicly; i just took out the battery and it resetted it back to the default settings and works again.
I cross tested different components and without drives connected, so it was definately mobo issue.
Never had this bootstuck thingy happen before, now i know what to do, but do disconnect your drives before taking the battery out, not sure if it can scramble your data.
Better safe than sorry.
Detergent gives water the ability to dissolve oil particles. There is silicon oil in these thermal pads on the motherboard, on the ram etc. Putting the parts without taking thermal pads out may not be a good idea. It can damage the performance of the thermal pads.
