Long story short. Water cooling accident, mobo ram CPU went swimming. Mobo fried with sizzling sound. Ram and CPU no visible damage. Changed mobo Now nothing powers up. Psu able to jump start. Standby lights on when 24-pin atx is connected but unable to power on thru on board button or shorting the header pins.

CPU dead?

Best to test part by part in another working rig. Too much unknown from your water cooling accident.

Mobo might be damaged from liquid

Cables might be damaged too

Check if individual parts are working by individually testing them on a working rig

Didn't follow the thread for a few days. I managed to get it working again.

I dismantled everything and washed the board in running water then dry for the next few days.

Its Alive albeit with 2 dead ram slots
