That looks less like a desk fan problem and more like a mortar shell problem

I had one, i suffer from myoclonic jerks, which can cause me to swing my hand, i threw water into my PC and it was one i had been building up. AMD 8350, 32GB DDR3, 1TB ssd, 4TB hdd, RTX 3060. Gone because of my pissing disability.

Time to liquid cool your next set up! Jokes aside im sorry for your loss (of hardware) but happy no one was harmed.

See if your renters/homeowners insurance covers something like this! Homeowners might not, but my renter’s insurance policy in the US covers loss like this and has a separate policy point for computers. Usually the deductible is about $500, so any value past that could be covered.

Cheap fans here in the Philippines are just fire hazards, specially those industrial fans with metal blades.
One time, our fan stopped spinning because the bearing died. Good thing we were woken up by the intense heat so we were able to unplug it. But damn, that motor is close to burning the whole fan.

For anyone wondering which type of fire extinguisher agent is the best for electrical components, it’s Fe-36 (HFC-236fa).

CO2 extinguishers are best for electrical fires. We have them at work in electrical equipment rooms. Water extinguishers for rooms with furniture etc and dry powder for everything else.

I’ve run a pedestal fan (they’re just a larger desk fan on a taller stand) for literally months in a row, zero downtime, middle of Australian summer. This never happened. Don’t buy unregulated chinese goods, I guess is the moral of the story.
