How the Fuck did water get into the topping of your computer when it's on your desk?
>>

>>
>>57687753
>>57687773
yes i was being retarded and i spilled a bottle of water on my desk and some spilled into the top of my fans so yea

i took it apart now some of the ports wasnt too wet but im kinda scared so like should i wait for it to dry and put it back later or
>>
>>57687861
Throw it out
Get a new one
Don't leave it under your desk like a retard
>>
>>57687446
it blue screened immediately? Is that what usually happens with this?
>>
>>57687937
i dont think a lot got in there but i could be wrong , like once i realized what had happened i got up to unplug it and it blue screened befor i could so like a couple seconds after i guess
>>
Try to see which parts are fucked. Might just be your video card as that sticks out a ton.
>>
>>57687981
yeah the vid card slot itself felt a lil wet to the touch how do i check to see if it ll run agian
>>
>tried to turn it back on before making sure it's 100% dry
Well if it wasn't already fucked you made sure it is now. Great job.
>>
>>57687446
throw your CPU into another motherboard and see if it posts
>>
>>57688061
i dont have another mothreboard laying around m8 :(((
>>
>>57687446
I spilt a pint of scrumpy on my desktop. It splattered my gtx 780 and a drop hit the jumper pins for the power button. I dried it off and it's been working for two years since.
Just dry it off and give it a go.
>>
>>57688108
it short circuited so its borked try to get a warranty claim going if you got one

shit happens...just dont say its water damage if you are filing your claim
>>
well your money is going to be mainly in your CPU and GPU, better find a way to validate them without using your current MOBO/PSU

or if you are a NEET, disassemble everything, and i mean everything, minus your PSU, taking apart your PSU with your lack of experience could be dangerous
>>
>>57687446
wait till it dries, like wait 6 hours. in the meantime unplug it from the wall and open the case so it dries faster. it most likely short circuited, which isnt a big deal unless something burnt out. just wait till it dries and i'll most likely work. if not then RMA.

>upgrading CPU
>>
>>57688334
Well I upgraded mine so I could run ps2 and GameCube emulators without problems
>>
>>57688228
alright thanks i have the mobo and gfx card out too
>>
>>57688228
this is good advice, follow it.
Also fill the case with rice (not even joking). It will absorb any remaining liquid
>>
>>57688465
Unless you have enough rice to fill a bathtub and fully cover the entire thing for 2-3 weeks, it's a waste of time and will do nothing.

I know it might sound silly in this situation, but have you tried installing Gentoo?
>>
>gaymen machine
Everything will be alright man
>>
>>57687861

If you turn it on without letting it dry it will be dead.

Wait a day or two and make sure its dry.

>>57688729
should i put my hardware stuff in rice like anon said
>>
>>57688837
No it will get caught in the heat sink and start a fire just be patient and let it dry and hope for the best
>>
>>57688837
no put a bowl of rice inside your case (yes uncooked rice you idiot)
>>
woah that was fast, you all kiddos better learn from that

My brother spilled a cup of water into his case a week after I built it. The only thing that broke was the Mobo, so I sent it back to Amazon and claimed it didn't work out of the box.
