OH NO !!!

Bummer doesn't exactly do it justice but I will avoid stronger expletives for the children's sake.

Looking for vaguely optimistic angles, I wonder if the CPU and/or RAM might still be okay ????

Bummer indeed.
But as David indicates the chances are that the MoBo fried before the CPU. Your Threadripper may well live to rip threads another day.
I confess I’ve buggered a couple of keyboards with spilt drinks and knackered a top end laptop with a gin & tonic. Basically you need to build a separate booze shelf somewhere within easy reach but not directly beside or above anything expensive & vulnerable.

I work on the basis that booze and mobo's do not meet. I stick to a keyboard and mouse within the kill zone and nothing else or I have no idea how many systems I would have killed by now..... You're not the first, nor will you be the last .
