So I was able to install windows onto the other drive just fine but I am still able to access my old drive with all my data, including my old windows. Not sure why I can not boot form the M.2. But thank you for your help, greally appeciate it!

So I auctally found my windows thumb drive and when I instered it and starte up the comp it brought me to the intall or repair screen. I then tried to repair but it said it couldnt and put me right back to the option menu. I then tried to re-install but it said that there was already Windows on the drive. So I'm going to take out the M.2 and see what happens after that and see about installing on my other drive maybe.

I did.

So before I turned off CSM it would beep three times twice before going to the logo screen. After I turned it off it did not do this and went from the boot screen directly to the bios without doing those dash flashes.

I forgot to mention that when I first booted it after letting it dry it had a screen pop up saying the bios was reset. I'll go a head and update that and see if it works.

Hey all! So are the details on why it wont boot. First this all started because one of my hardline tubes started to failing at a connection and broke. Causing some water to spray towards the front of the case and getting some distilled water on the components but I turned it off before any sparks went up, but the computer did restart it self before I could cut the power it. After a day of letting it dry and taking off the hardline tubes to make sure everything look alright I plugged it all back in. When I turned it on everything was working fine and it gave me the boot beep then the logo screen but then it started doing a series of dashes in the top left corner of the screen. You can find the video of this for reference in this Reddit LINK. Afterwards it will send me into the bios. From there I can see that it sees both my RAM and both my drives with one of them having windows installed in it. Attached are some photo showing the bios for reference. I'm not sure what to do from here and sadly I do not having any spare parts to swap out for testing. Please help. EDIT, I forgot to mention that when I first booted it after letting it dry it had a screen pop up saying the bios was reset. Below are the components of my build. This is currently my only working PC as my other one was retired three years when I made this one. GIGABYTE X570 AORUS PRO WiFi AMD Ryzen 7 3800X CORSAIR RMx Series, RM1000x, 1000 Watt, 80+ Gold Certified, Fully Modular Gigabyte GeForce RTX 2080 Windforce 8G G.Skill Trident Z Neo 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3600 Memory Samsung 970 Evo 1 TB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive

Title says it all. I am looking around and trying to get all my components for my loop and would like to use Acrylic but dont see specific fittings for it.

exactly. due to I am using it for work/games, I am getting 64gb of RAM. Then to boost a Ryzen 7 or and 3rd gen you should be running at least DD4 3600 and that cost about $100 more roughly, the price increase of an intel i9900k.

Thats what I was also thinking xg32, with the new gen coming out next year and needing to compete with AMD, maybe a price drop could happen.

Kind of the same thing but not quite.

Was thinking that more and more after posting that, lol. Oh well. Don't think I can even wait to see anyways lol.

Hey all, So been waiting to get enough funds for my computer and new things just keep happening. With the release of the new Intel Core i9-9900Ks coming out soon, I wanted to see if it would be worth waiting because of a possible price drop in the Intel Core i9-9900K? Also, would there be a chance there's no price drop as the new one could just be more expense or its just a extra $20 knocked off. Overall seeing if it's worth waiting until October as it looks like I am going to be ready to buy by next week or so. Look forward to hearing any idea's! Thanks!

Yup, for the Gigabyte GeForce RTX 2080 8 GB WINDFORCE I found an EKWB coper water block https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-vector-rtx-re-copper-plexi

Awesome, all explained. Thank you all for helping me with this. I did find a water cooling block for the Gigabyte GPU at EBWK, so most likely going with that. Though, I can't get all the parts for another 3 weeks, will see if anything drops in price or something new come out lol. Thank you again for your help.

Think I am getting it a little better now. Looking at that now, I should have just used the 2080 regular to compare. So if I were to take a Nvidia 2080 and a Gigabyte 2080, then use the same custom water cooling loop on both. The preference on the Gigabyte could be better, depending on the customization they did to the PCB? Though the base still coming from Nvidia?
