I just rebuilt my PC -- I spilled water into my recent build while powered on (Feb 2018), killing my PSU and GPU. It didn't kill my motherboard as I was still able to boot up to Windows, however I bought a replacement board because for some reason AFTER the spillage. I could only boot with a card that doesn't use external power. First couple boots were pretty slow as expected, then became significantly faster afterwards.
So far I updated my BIOS and unlocked my CPU in config. I will update my cpu and gpu drivers when I get the chance to.
The Issue
CPU usage is low and normal, once I start launching Overwatch CPU usage increases, at the login screen my CPU will already be around ~90%. Once I get to the menu screen I'm at a constant 99-100% getting a good 2fps. Also to note, my disk usage was extremely high when launching also, but I'm guessing it was because I had to re download the game again, I thought it would've just patched because the game WAS installed before the spill. I know this isn't an accurate test but I didn't have time to test other games or any other troubleshooting yet.
Questions
What I want to know is if my CPU could've been damaged from my computer shorting on me? The way my old PC was built in the case should've avoided the water damage. What else should I do before I consider buying a new CPU?
Specs:
i5 6500 3.2ghz
Gigabyte gtx 1060
Gigabyte ga-h170-d3hp
8gb DDR4
I reused my CPU, Ram and HDD. New Mobo is the same as old Mobo. Gtx 1060 is new. New case also.
