Issue

ok so everything was working / running fine. i noticed a water leak from the onboard VRM water block (thanks asus), so i imediatly shut down the pc, drained the water cooling loop wiped everything down with paper towel then let it sit for 8 days to dry. i bypassed the vrm block, filled the loop and powered up only the water cooling pump and let it run for about 36 hours with no leaks. then i connected only the water pump, motherboard (24 pin and 2 8 pin), and graphics card, no hdds or ssds. The motherboard displayed a bunch of different codes while starting up but stopped at "d7". i tried again without the graphics card with no change. grabbed another power supply, this one only had 1 8 pin connector for cpu, tried that with no change, still getting the "d7" error code. just to be clear the computer is not posting. nothing displays on my screen. at this point im not sure what else to try, is my motherboard toast?
