Graphics cards got water on them.

Made a thread about this a while ago. My H50 has apparently leaked over my 5770's. I was using the computer when the display stopped working, took a look inside and they had water on them, so I was obviously running them with water on the cards.

Contacted Corsair, no reply. The cards both seem to be working, but how can I test if their performance has been hit? I'm playing rift atm with crossfire enabled, on medium settings, not moving or doing anything particularly graphically intensive (staring at a flight of stairs ingame), and I'm getting 22fps. Friend of mine has a 5830 which gets 50fps on full settings so this seems very low to me!

Are there any programs I can use to test their performance?

Bought the H50 from another site July 2010, obviously can't link it here. Their website is orange. Bought the 2 5770's from ocuk around a year ago now

If Corsair don't reply again I shall slap them in the mouth. With a fish.

Rift is the only game I have to try with

3DMarkVantage scores are perfectly normal, 18000 (I'm pretty sure that's normal?)

Just realised - I had to turn my oc on my i7 down, maybe that is what is holding me back

Damn. Would've liked the cards to be borked and to get a refund to buy something better with haha

I've tested the cards they seem fine (though one of them has a few blue areas

). No word from Corsair yet, they're support page says a reply will be made within 24hours. Hope so!
