Well, it's all installed and leak testing ATM, had a couple of minor ones when I first turned the pump on but all sorted now, as soon as the new psu arrives I shall chuck that in and will be sorted. Quickly gonna check if I can upload pictures with the iPhone, if not you will have to wait till later for the pics, but let me tell you it looks awesomesauce :)

Well, just plugged it all in, turned it on and disaster! The whole thing keeps switching on and off after about 5 seconds. Good thing I ordered a 1.2kw Antec HCP off of Ace Modder, hopefully it will arrive today, seems like my measly 750w is not enough for the pump, extra fans and extra hdd :(

Strange - you should easily have enough power to boot. Have you tried taking out one of your gpus and seeing if you still have the same problem?

Hope the new psu solves the problem, but have suspicion that it lies elsewhere. i'd also suggest some problem solving first. starting with un plugging and re connecting all connections. then that second gpu.

I had a problem like yours but it did not work with changing the psu. Try changing the RAM sequence. That is how mine stopped doing that...Although i don't think so.

One quick question, how much power do you need for water cooling??

Tried taking out a gpu today, got halfway through loading windows, then cut out and went into the same loop.

Thinking about it, I had to unplug a fair few cables including the front panel connectors on both the motherboard end and the actual button end.

Not sure if I put the motherboard ones back on correctly, does the little arrow on the connectors mean positive or negative? I usually just guess and it turns out right but want to make sure if I have done it correctly :)

Finally fixed!
New psu didn't help, but tried everything else, until I reseated the CPU. Now it's fine :)

So I shall roll on with this update! Nothing left to do now but take a picture of it in the dark :)

So some stuff arrived, a week late but hey :)

Decided to go with deionised in the end, so a leak shouldn't do too much damage

I shall take some more piccies later, when it is nice and dark!

Load at 4.2ghz is about 60-65 degrees, that's with 1.4volts. Epic, compared to the 95 under the Kuhler!

It is so nice to have a working PC again :)
