Came home from work and sat at the desk, pushed the power button, and system wouldnt turn on. Totally non responsive, no beep, no flash spin f fans nothing.,
Checked power, opened up case and botton was full of liquid. One of the lines of block leaked, ran down onto my top 660ti, through to the second 660ti, down to the case. After i calmed myself, i disassembled the system, to verify only the video cards were affected. No fluid anywhere in the system other then on video cards and bottom of case. I ran to Best buy and picked up a gtx 770 and a new fan. buttoned it up and pressed the power button. Still nothing. MB is a ASUS P9X79 Pro, the power and reset button on the board light up. Nothing else is however. No fans, no lights, no front panel. Cleared CMOS, Checked every cable and connection, tried no drives hooked up etc. Could the MB or CPU have fried when liquid first contacted GPU's even though it as not powered on? CPU couldn't have overheated because it was off when it happened.
The system was off when the leak occurred, it worked fine before i went to work this morning. What component would create this no power to cpu fans etc?
RMA and damage request going to Corsair tomorrow, but i was hoping to have a computer sooner then they handle the claim (Several weeks likely).
Any tips, greatly appreaciated.
