Well I finnaly got my watercooling installed and everythings going fine except from my GPU2 is getting very high tempretures even tho its the first thing the watercooling is going to?, is it proberly just the cooler on that card that needs reset? GPU1 maxes out at 30 C and the cpu maxes out at 40 C when stressing both at the same time with furmark and prime 95 but GPU 2 is going past 90 C :( , GPU is the bottom one right? just want to make sure.

Also when I started up window time has changed at its at 9:45 when its 1.45 i think and its stopping a few programs from working properly so how do I fix this?

Big thanks to anyone that can help.
 
I assime that the system has been leak tested and bled?

Does your loop go like this?

bottom gpu > top gpu > cpu

I have a similar thing where my cpu is higher than my gpu, but the cpu is first in the loop? Are you 100% sure that the block has been installed properly? You gotta make sure that it's completely flush. Have you used too much/not enough thermal paste?
 
If one gpu is 60 above the other, that's a faulty temperature sensor or a bad waterblock mount. If the two cards reported roughly the same temperature before fitting the waterblocks, it's a bad mount. I wouldn't be particularly confident as to which gpu was 1 and which was 2, if you can remove one from the board while keeping the other connected then rerun furmark it'll tell you for certain.

Window's getting confused about the time cannot occur from watercooling, possibly excepting if you get water on the motherboard. Even then I can't imagine the time changing. Does the bios report the correct time?

^That guy has a good point, one of the gpu blocks may be full of air.
 
Im sure its been fully bled, must be a faulty mount because i can feel the heat comming from the bottom card looks like im going to have to remount the block :(. The time change has occured since i took everything apart proberly because the hard drive was disconnected for a while.
 
Infact i think i can see a massive airbubble in the second gpu and only a very little water is getting through
 
God im daft :P i put the hose right through the block rather than one at eah side :P all fixed now both idling at 22-23 C :D
