I'm working on a hardline water cooled build, and while trying to swap out a fan in the water barrel, I managed to pop one of the tubes out of the fitting causing a whole bunch of water to get into the PSU before I could get it right side up.
Thankfully it was powered off and unplugged, so no magic smoke. Is there a possibility that I can salvage it or is it best to junk it? I looked inside and nothing looked burned (no blown capacitors, etc.).
There's also a possibility that the motherboard got wet, but I'm hoping since there was no power to it that it will be ok after a few days of drying. I was in the process of leak testing (ironic, I know) so I hadn't even powered it on yet.
Thoughts? Advice? Anything would be appreciated. Thanks.
