Hello everyone,
TL;DR: How could I know if my power supply connectors are safe after water damage?
The whole story:
In a freak drinking accident, a couple drops of beer made their way into my case. Unfortunately, they landed right where my graphics card connects to my power supply. My graphics card fried instantly. I unplugged everything and let it dry for around 10 hours. I looked inside, and as i booted it up again, my gaphics card litteraly smokes and the motherboard safety features power it down instantly.
With the GC unplugged, my computer turns on perfectly fine and i can acess my files. I just bought a new graphics card online, and I'm worried my connectors might be defective as well. I don't want it to fry on the first boot.
I don't have any other GC lying around for testing, so is there a way i could know whether it's safe to plug it in or not ?
Thanks!
