No, absolutely not. Especially with any kind of liquid.

You don't need to do anything other than keep it clear of dust. Any $5 can of compressed air is more than enough for your needs.

You can wash it with isopropyl alcohol, washing with water, even if it is distilled one is not recommended. What for you need wash it? If it is for cleaning then using compressed air is best way how to.

if you ever have a reason to wash your motherboard then it probably doesn't work anymore lol

In a factory setting, they use various solvents to remove excess solder flux and then a rinse in de-ionized water. But from a user perspective, why would you feel a need to do this and risk shorting out an expensive mobo? Get a can of compress air for electronics and blow off the dust. What more do you need?

glad u guys were here i could tell them not to do it again and is there a reason why there mobo is still working?

oh, after they washed it they soaked it for a day
