Fried Mobo

[Loaf]

So I was using my pc when it randomly turned off, the ram was still light up saying it’s getting power, however I couldn’t boot. So I turned off and on the power switch and booted all of a sudden a spark went off on my mobo and started a tiny fire that went out I tried to switch power of ASAP but I’m afraid it was too late. 
 

I believe a cooler cable melted onto the mobo and feel that sparked the fire. 
 

My problem is I don’t know if the other parts are fine, such as CPU, GPU, SSD NVME . Do you guys think the parts could’ve survived ?

probably a good chance that they are okay, can't know for sure until tested though.

edit: what kind of psu are you running? if it is a good psu, it likely would have protected the other parts from a random surge.

only way to tell is to try them out but one peice at a time and i would not use thta power supply unless you can get it tested

Should I test each component on its own with new mobo ?

That looks like burn damage from the component below it. It looks like that got very hot.

your call, i personally would set the pc up with all the parts on the new mobo on a cardboard box, and if it doesn't post, then try and isolate any damaged components. if all is good, reassemble back in the case.

My pc has been recently restarting but I never knew from what, guess I know now that the mobo was getting some fresh melted rubber on it

Also should I replace the PSU or will it be fine since the fire originated from the wire melting onto the MOBO and then fusing together I guess, or does this require me to get a new PSU

Still have no idea what caused this, but this is the result of what happend. I took the pc apart all the other components seem unaffected haven’t tested them yet but they look fine. I really hope it’s just the motherboard and the AIO that suffered the damage.

 

If anyone wanted to know what MOBO this is it’s a MSI B550 Tomohawk
