Aren't you supposed to use the red RAM slots when you only have two DIMMs?

Arrakis, you could probably get those Sammy's to 2400 if you put them in the red slots...

It's probably also the source of instability.





Many times, installing DIMMs into the other slots results in no boot at least that's the case in my testing.

I believe he also has the flow of his CPU block backwards...

Well everything worked for 5 minutes or so got into the OS and installed the video drivers shortly after the system shorted and turned off could not get it back up and running - even yanked it out of the case and benched it with the stock cooler and nothing else hooked up to see if i could get it into the bios. still nothing so i yanked out my trusty intel board and loaded up the processor and ram on that it will boot just fine but no video at all. so being broke and not able to buy anything to fix it its going to have to go in the corrner of my closet for now and no more gaming sadly

I think it has to do with his video card with a bad capacitor.

Looking at your setup im not a specialist but maybe the videocard got shorted from the cooler. That could explain you had problems with it. Then tremove everything and put it on air cooling only. Test your psu..does it work ?Seems like a blown video card.

I look forward to my next build... I'm wondering about doing away with the water cooling side of things and perhaps just getting a chiller instead... Might be able to use a smaller case then
