I personally wouldn't worry about exposing a CPU to water for brief periods, even as long a several hours to do this testing. (At work we put circuit boards through a glorified dishwasher every day.)
However, the conductivity of the water will screw up the measurement, so it's not an option. Even if you start with DI water, enough material may dissolve over the course of testing, to affect the measurement results.
