This is a video where I show a “quick and easy” way to fix the water damage on a gtx 1060.
The problem with this fix is for the first 7 minutes; you can barely see me because I’m covering the cards with an additional layer of plastic baggies. After that, it’s clear.
I hope you enjoy this video!
On a side note: During my first attempt at fixing my card, I had no issue with it being slow and could only get one fps (frames per second) – which means I couldn’t watch YouTube videos at all. This time around, that was not the case! It worked perfectly fine after drying thoroughly. I would say: Don’t use too much force when applying pressure to remove components from damaged cards. A slight amount of pressure will help keep details from falling out as quickly when trying to take them out. Also, ensure all connections are secure and secure before re-seating them into your computer after drying properly!
There are several things you can do to reduce the amount of damage the water causes.

Be patient and wait for the water to evaporate.
Remove any exposed parts.
Allow the video card to dry completely before putting it back on your computer.
You’ll want to allow the video card to dry completely before putting it back on your computer. This can take a few hours or even days, depending on how much water was on your valuable GPU and how long it’s been since you last used it.
Once your GPU has dried, remove any exposed parts using a small Phillips screwdriver or knife and scrape off any excess adhesive or moisture clinging to the heatsink fins. Once done, reinsert the heatsink into place and secure it with screws (if necessary).
Take it back to that store for a replacement.
They may be willing to replace your card if you have a good relationship with the store.
If you need a better relationship with the store and help getting them on the phone or visiting in person, try calling them first.
If that doesn’t help, give them a message via email or social media (Twitter).
