hey /g/
so i was redoing my watercooling tubing the other day and got quite a bit of water on my gpu,
i left it dry, put it in some paper towels without the waterblock or backplate on
it worked for abou 1 1/2 hours while i was playing fallout but then the computer crashed,
no its not detecting it as anything and theres artifacting across the screen
can i do anything or did i just brick a 980ti?

That's what you get for doing a custom water loop.

If you didn't let it dry for at least 24 hours, then you bricked your shit.

like 36 hours and i padded the droplets off straight away
I bet you used tap water like an idiot too.

You've probably mishandled it in some way and fucked it up.

I think you know the answer to that. Put the cooler back on it, and try get it RMA'd

nobody is stupid enough to use fucking tap water
This is why I always have a 10KG bag of rice in my room.

Been running a custom water loop for years without a problem. OP's just an idiot.

Most likely not enough time.
I've seen electronics get fried after being exposed to water and left to dry for 4 days.
