I picked the perfect day to bench subzero as the humidity was at 94% that day. I didnt properly insulate the back of the board and water was forming near the solder points for the ram. half an hour longer and id have some nice shorts there. Comment length is restricted? really?

I've had puddles of water on completely uninsulated boards, water from the air isn't as good a conductor as you'd think. Things just start getting fucky when you get it into mem slots etc

ive had water in spots it shouldnt go to three times 

killed one board, didnt do anything to the two others.

the one that died had water in the socket. Gives me a 00 ever since. 

one of the working ones had a puddle in the socket as well but it works fine.

third one had water on the voltage controller, after drying it works again

Only board I killed with water was salt water and that one was actively arcing while I was benching... I would say definitely a good idea to clean boards out after use. A good iso flush or spraying all sockets out with electrical contact cleaner works well.
