Yeah give it a go and see what happens.
What an upgrade that must be insane for you, did upgrade the rest of your system aswell?
I am a little late to the game, but it's better late than never. I am super happy with this purchase and the performance compared to my previous 680Ti is night and day!
Small headsup, try and move the radiator from the bottom to the side. The way you have it setup now, the pump is the highest part of the loop, and that actually means air will collect in the pump and over time can damage the pump, and impact the cooling, or plain stop working. You always want the top of the rad/part of the loop to be above the pump.

Glad to hear, I generally have a very soft spot for Gigabyte as they've been good to me over the years and the RMA centre has treated me well (not sure if it's still based in MK like it used to be!); their PSUs unfortunately however are the weakspot in what has traditionally been a good line up.The new PSU has solved my problem. Working like a charm now. Downloading BG3
Yeah I have replaced my older pc. I was on an Intel Xeon with a Nvidia 680Ti. Now I am fully AMD, better RAM, Mobo and CPU as well
Thanks buddy, I did some research before setting it up that way. I built the pc inside the Lian Li Vision, so my only choice is to side mount a 360 to the side or the rare using a 240 AIO. Then it's what you said about the orientation of the pump/radiator. The highest point of the rad is action higher than the pump, so should permeation occur overtime, the air pocket will be trapped at the top of the rad and it won't get pushed back into the pump.
I did wonder in the beginning about the which way the tubes should go, but I watched several YouTube videos and checked the EK manual and ultimately ended up installing it this way. The high point of the radiator should be at a higher point when side mounted so when the air pocket develops, it will not travel back up, down the tube and back into the pump. This is the second best configuration. The best configuration was not an option for me, because my top panel is glass. I originally wanted the Lian Li Evo RGB, but I couldn't wait anymore so I ended up with what I have now. Your wife must be super chuffed with the pc!Great, as long as your rad is side mounted that's great. From your picture it LOOKED like the rad might be bottom mounted, and didn't want you to get caught out.
Your rig overall is very similar to my wife's new build and the Phanteks NV5 she has is definately a Lian-Li 'inspired' design!

you see i'm not the one who thinks as long as it works fine ... if it does go boom .. whats it going to take with it ? board gpu ?? all of it .. yes there are fuses but would take an rma to fix ..Yup, I’m sure a good 750W would be fine, mine was downgraded for the second revision to about 105% over power to stop it exploding.
At least I’m hoping the PSU is the issue. It did look like as the power draw peaked (it was about 400w reported on the overlay) it quickly dropped and then the PC restarted. Will report back tomorrow.
It won’t go boom it will simply turn itself off very quickly. Unlike the old days.
