Bit of plastic? In gpu block

alex h said:
Never seen that before mate maybe something out of a rad or something from manufacturing it if its new
Click to expand...
Yeah it's my new block
So ******* fed up with all this
Going to use it anyway see if gpu still works
Can't take going through returning it and waiting for another
Will end up throwing the thing at the wall soon

Although it is not desirable it will have done nothing to impede liquid flow or efficiency of cooling. It certainly would not have damaged anything if it is lodged there. Just remove it and carry on.

Can't remove it without taking the block apart
And this his been a fiasco of errors that's been going on since the 3rd
In no mood to disassemble the block

Have you attached the block yet mate or are you waiting for a bit

Just booted pc up
It's not dead at least thank ****
But windows updated and did that weird no desktop icons and no programs will open crap on me again before could test the gpu
So coffee and smoke break then will load a backup image and fingers crossed
 
alex h said:
At least its not broke that would have been real band luck hopefully you'll be up and running in a bit

Yeah was just going to kick the daylight out of it then remembered hadn't put the
Ram back in doh
Just worried about temps though can't check yet
For some reason the 4 spring loaded screws around the die wouldn't go on
So had to do a bodgeit and scarper
On it

Your not having much luck mate hopefully be worth it in the end

Think finally nailed it. :)
Figured out what kept causing desktop icons to disappear and nothing would open
Whatever Windows updated in the background took exception to me having
Both hdmi and display port cables
Connected at the same time
Very peculiar
Managed quick benchmark though clean installed windows before Figured out the
2 cable glitch
So only installed the basics but gpu benchmark seems ok
And 43c max gpu temp
Fingers crossed but might finally be an end to the saga. :D:D:D:D

I've been following your various threads on this, and it's like some sort of forum based technology epic.

Lol yeah it's been a rough ride to put it mildly
Will install all the drivers tomorrow and give it a proper test
But may have finally got there in the end

Lol she'll be banning you from pc upgrades if your not careful :D

Lol
Banning myself now
First time have ever bought more than midrange gpu it was a covid19 isolation
Induced moment of madness lol
That turned into bit of a nightmare
But my current setup will be good for a pretty long time now thankfully

Not yet
Was 2~30am when finally finished with it
The windows update thing making it unusable because both hdmi and
Display port cable were connected at same time drove me crazy until figured it out
So not been near it yet today am chilling out lol
Looks like this except added another quick disconnect between gpu and cpu
Which looks rather ugly unfortunately
As they are so close together I had to
Take it sidewards and do a 180 back
To cpu
But given what was going on being able to disconnect the gpu was a priority
One problem with vertical gpus they don't drain well

Though not tidy lol
Will leave it a while as got all the parts
Now~except forgot a ball valve doh~to
Build another full pc to recover some cash that the 2080ti cost
So will build that then worry about tidying
The main pc up :)

That's good I'm waiting for a new case to come and cooler unless I go back to water cooling in which case I've got to buy everything again as I sold it all built my son's water cooled pc in the 719 case as you know

This one will be in the original luxe white

Should just about sell for the cost of the 2080ti which will be handy
One of the reasons I justified the cost of
The 2080ti was selling this one :)
