last November i bought the rampage6 extreme with an i9 7920X built a twin loop system with a Titan Pascal , worked until January this Year , then died , got a replacement rampage6 , built it , pressure tested for a week with a separate psu , plugged everything in , switched on , booted , bios and then died without me being able to change ( date,time) anything , bought an asus prime x299 prime de luxe and new waterblock , built it , pressure test , etc etc , worked flawless for 36hrs. until last night , whilst browsing the interweb , it died ??? none of the boards where ever overclocked and ran everything stock
 
just now plugged it in without keyb. or mice or monitor before i tear it down , and it booted , but first code was B6 ??? then about a couple minutes later restarted and gave a code AU ?? H E L P !!!! took a short video of the boot sequence , the main poster is hidden by riser card and the small screen on x299 deluxe is to small for me to read.
 
there is no standard heatsink , did not run long enough to get warm , and when running it stayed @19-21 c ( the 2 x 420 rads do help ) and no leaks sitting about 2 feet away at eye level and i have 2 x xt aqualis 880 and any leakage would be noticed straight away, but i'll try another psu
 
btw. i got the manual in front of me , but i thought i'll ask the people in the know , but another question , been a member and overclockers customer to boot , whilst i am able to log on to my oc account with no problems , it would not let do the same on oc forums ? hence my new setup today?
 
AFAIK shop and forum accounts are separate - you can link them for free shipping when you've been active on the forums for long enough though.
