I found a leak.

So about 10 minutes ago I found a leak and its under control. The leak was caused by a crack in my CPU block (Swiftech Apogee XL). What should I do?

turn off your pc and drain the system. Then RMA it, assuming it's in warranty.

let your pc dry for 12 hours, make sure there is nothing left on the pcb and then turn it back on.

but shut off your psu now.

unlikely that he has warranty on his 900D build.

Oh...that type of leak..(I totally thought of >LEEK<) erm..you should probably remove the block & re-fit a air heatsink temporarily over your cpu socket. Then test the cpu-block by ramping up the water flow for a couple hours & see if there's any water leakage.. If not rma it.

I meant warranty on the cooler.

I have some pics of the top vs bottom. The bottom is where the crack is.  Sorry for the bad quality photo it was the best I could do

1. disassemble system.
2. put motherboard in bag of rice (protect the cpu socket)
3. remove after 1-2 days.
4. put cpu block, ram and the gpu back in.
5. Check if board POSTs.
6. RMA block.
7. wait for RMA return
8. rebuild system

(take this opportunity to upgrade if you want to)

I personally use silica gel sachets. But most people only have rice.
