When you say you dried it how. Did you wipe it down with a towel as best as possible then try turning it back on. Did you dry it with a towel and let it air dry, if so how long? How much is a "little bit" of water?

I dried it with a towel sat it in front of a fan for a while. And for the water spilled it was an empty mug that had some water in it that I turned upside down over the mobo by accident (was carrying multiple mugs) and it fell right in the HDD power cord slot and the GPU slot, I mean I tried powering on without cpu power connected and it at least stays running but when cpu power is connected you see the video.

Did you try sticking it in a ziplock bag filled with rice?

No I haven’t tried that. Should I even bother at this point or is my mobo already toast?

Looking at the video you posted it is turning on so there is a chance it isn't dead. If it was fried it wouldn't turn on at all. You have nothing to lose by trying to stick it in a bag of rice and see if anything changes
