Water accidentally fell onto your desktop.
Water accidentally fell onto your desktop.
It was a bit chaotic at first, but the power was working. I shut down the PSU quickly and removed the GPU. A small amount of water was escaping through the top vent, but there was a mess on the surface that prevented much of it from entering. I let everything dry completely for three days before restarting. Everything appears to be functioning, though I remain concerned about possible damage. There’s no obvious signs of issues, but I’m unsure if it’s safe to keep using it. It might help to inspect the components directly or monitor performance closely. The Windows performance seems slightly slower, but I can’t confirm if this is normal. After cleaning connectors with alcohol, everything looks good.
As long as there was enough time in a fairly dry setting for the water to fully evaporate, I believe it's okay.
Hope that helps—just thought it might be a bit much to overthink, especially since this is your first project.
