Make sure you fully rinse with distilled water as any soap residue or hard water deposits can still short out components. Water is not a good conductor, however dissolved salts and metals in the water are often great conductors.

Wipe it down with isopropyl alcohol and it should be alright.

I've rinsed quite some GPUs under the sink after getting them from mining farms where they ran until the cooler was a solid block of dust.
