Hey guys,
So just earlier today I removed my CPU water block to put on some thermal paste (I know I should have done that first) and everything went well, however when I was going to adjust the tubing to remove any kinks, I pushed a power cable over (It was in the way of my arm) and it made contact with the motherboard, short-circuiting it. It did make a sound, and immediately everything shutoff. The computer won't boot, the motherboard doesn't light up, the fans don't turn on as well as the loop pump. If there's a fuse to replace (Don't yell at me if that's not a thing) then that would be fine, but if I just fried my 350 dollar CPU and other components then I am truly, as they say. F*****.
Specs,
i7-8700K Unlocked
Gigabyte Z370 D3 Motherboard
No graphics card was installed (yet)
256GB Samsung Evo M.2 Nvme SSD.
