So there I was, prime testing my Watercooled CPU while browsing OCUK, when suddenly, the PC shuts down, with a slight smell of fusing. A little bemused, I unplug it from the wall, have a look inside, everything seems fine. Plug it in again, press the power button and BOOM! the mosfets set on fire . So clearly the mobo is dead (Msi p55 gd65), but I'm worried about just how much damage this could have done... My PC isn't exactly bargain basement, my GTX 580 is right below these mosfets...
Basically how worried should I be, and does anyone have a spare lga1156 board I can borrow for testing? I really can't afford this right now, my luck is just going from bad to worse with this build... I was only pushing 1.45v through the CPU, and the temps were nowhere near what I would call abnormal... But I doubt I will ever buy an Msi board again after this...

And of the mosfets (burnt area visible)
I'm really struggling to not start crying or break down right now, everything has just gone wrong for me recently, and I can't afford a new PC... ****s sake! The motherboard is out of warranty as well...
