So a couple months ago I spilled water down my PC and wrecked it. I never completely diagnosed the problem but it triggered a rebuild I've wanted to do for a while anyway.
I handled the water spill poorly, and after trying to dry it out and restart, essentially the system would boot, crash, then reboot without any monitor feedback. I tried booting with a different, unaffected GPU to the same result. Also had the same result with a GPU and RAM-less system. Figured the mobo was fried, and I wanted a new rig anyway so I've started that process.
The PSU and GPU are the only components carrying over to the new build.
What I'm curious about though, is this: If somehow it was a fried PSU/GPU (and not mobo) that was the issue, could I mess up my new system by using that PSU/GPU with it?
I'm not sure if a fried PSU or GPU could brick the new system beyond it just not booting properly.
If the system doesn't boot, I can get a replacement GPU/PSU, but I just want to make sure I dont risk damaging the other new components.
the PSU is a corsair tx650, and the GPU is a geforce gtx 1060. (the GPU got less than a month of use, the PSU is 4.5 years old) Both components have been sitting out unplugged from everything for probably 2 months now.
Or do you all think I should just upgrade the PSU while I'm at it since it's so old?
