I was building my custom water loop today and there was a leak. Some of it leaked onto my graphics card when i was bleeding the loop( components were not on except for pump, also had paper towels covering it but some of the water touched graphics card of a massive leak). Now for some reasons my computer doesnt turn on. I am pretty sure no water touched my motherboard but when i looked inside the 24 pin motherboard power cable , there was some water. I used hair drier to dry it all off but it still doesnt work. Please help.

let the water evaporate for 3 days... dont use a hair dryer, just open the side panel and place it on a cool dry place..

put some paper towels on it then let it dry out on itself,

remove the gpu and let it sit on a paper towel..

check again afterwards.. if still nothing then the PSU or GPU or MOBO or all could be fried.

Water could have shorted out the 24 pin power connection to the Mobo after boot up..

The hair dryer wont fry your components but will harden thermal paste, so its not advisable to use it.

Just let it dry out... Test again after atleast 24hrs
