Is my motherboard ok?

I was using compressed air to dust the inside of my PC. I had naturally tilted the can to its side (I know you're not supposed to do this, I just wasn't paying attention) so I could get under the GPU, but this caused the can to spray a bit of the liquid onto the motherboard, right above one of the PCIe slots. Luckily there were no major circuits there. It quickly evaporated, and I left the PC off for a bit in case there was any condensation. I plugged everything back in, and so far I've experienced no problems. Does this mean everything is ok? Would I have noticed if something was broken, and could this have a negative effect on gaming performance?

Thanks :)

If something was damaged, you would have already seen the effects. You are fine.

Yes your motherboard is fine, if something was messed up you would've noticed by now. From what I've seen, those chemicals are perfectly safe on electronics.
I've spilled water and coolant on some of my parts while putting together a loop and they work like nothing ever happened.

Thanks for the answers guys. My primary concern wasn't the liquid itself, but more the rapid change in temperature. Sorry if it seemed like a silly question; I'm quite OCD when it comes to my PC if you couldn't already tell -.-
