So...long story short, coke in the computer...

checked my psu, seems to still be working.

my motherboard got the most of it, and in the process of cleaning it off i noticed the heatpipes looked a bit burnt. this is my first board with heatpipes so i dunno if this is normal for everyday use, or if it was caused by the drink, my guess is the drink. just wanting another opinion.

my cpu looks to be okay, but i have no way of checking it as of now.

my gpu had a little spilled on it, mainly just a couple of little drops. but, where the card connects to the pci slot on a tiny part of it it also looks burnt. but one of the drops of coke was on it, and i cleaned it off. so it may just be residue from the coke that i could not get to come off, but i also have a feeling this is burnt (is this normal for gpus that have liquid spilt on them to look a little burnt on the pci connector?)

mainly would just like an experienced opinion on the board and gpu as I am not the most knowledgeable on pc hardware.
 
Was the machine running when this happened? How did you clean the parts?
 
i believe so, i wasnt here when it happened. but i think i have a good feeling it was.
read up quite a bit on how to clean from coke spilll, a lot of places suggested different things, but what i saw most was just hot water to get all the sugar off.
