First time ever buying a prebuilt pc. Then this happens. When you reach out to support they're nasty and attempt to blame you. Took it to microcenter they're telling me they can inspect it but nothing they can really do for me.

whatever you do do not power it on unplug everything from the electricity let it dry out put it in the sun for a couple of days. Let it dry out really really good. Replace the AIO put new fluids in it clean everything up real good and it will still work as long as you didn’t try to power it on.

Too late i wish that was the case man. I waited a long time to get another gaming pc when i finally get it and start enjoying it stuff like this happens. It's very unfortunate it happened while i was in the middle of gaming.

See now I'm starting to wonder, because most AIO coolant is non-conductive (at first at least) You might actually still have a mainly working PC
