Der8auer demonstrates the use of the dishwasher to clean the hardware

The idea of spilling a few drops of water on our hardware is terrifying, however, the prestigious German overclocker der8aeur believes it is the best way to keep all components clean and shiny. Der8auer has revealed its method of cleaning parts of your hardware between extreme overclocking sessions, putting them in the dishwasher.
Der8auer shows how to clean your PC with the dishwasher
An ancient wisdom that has been passed down from user to user for years is that you never owe better the delicate hardware components of your PC. Occasionally a genius or fool appears who decides to skip this unwritten rule. On Sunday der8auer posted a 13-minute video called "The Dishwasher Debate, " in which he discusses a somewhat controversial concept: washing precious PC parts in the dishwasher.

It turns out that not only treating the motherboard or graphics card like a plate or spoon is relatively harmless, it can also be the best cleaning method in specific circumstances. In the case of der8aeur, he covered his motherboard and video card in petroleum jelly to prevent condensation build-up by using liquid nitrogen for extreme overclocking purposes.
If you have used petroleum jelly before, you will be aware of how difficult it is to get the material from a completely flat or smooth surface. This difficulty probably increases quite a bit when the gelatinous material is applied to something with as many irregularities as a piece of PC hardware.
For der8aeur, he shows that using a dishwasher is the easiest way to clean dirt from your components between overclocking sessions. Apparently, there is no risk of damaging the hardware with water if it is not working. In any case, we recommend you not to try it.
