You could also add some additional white accents using this rubber spray Plasti Dip (it's completely removable by peeling it off if you don't like it):

You could, but I wouldn't to that rig.
 
The 3 way and 4 way bridges that come with the Rampage are pcb bridges anyway, not the ribbon style. As luck would have it they are like the board, black pcb with a white ROG logo, so it doesn't actually look too bad the way it is.
 
Pic updates will be incoming today or tomorrow. Bleeding / Leak testing now. What I can tell you is this....Three pumps in one loop pushes absolutely stooooooooopid amounts of water at absurd velocities. lol
 
Nevermind on the update for at least a day or so, I've hit a major snag. No boot, it's displaying exactly the same symptom as it did when I first put together the X99 and it turned out to be the psu (Lepa G1600). Motherboard lights up when plugged in, hit power switch and fans very briefly turn over, then a faint click, click, click. Strangely enough, I'm using another Lepa G1600 as the main psu, I'm starting to believe the Rampage and the Lepa may have compatibility issues with each other.

I'll have to pull the Seasonic back out of the 3930K and try it, just frustrated and put off by the whole thing currently, so I'm just going to cool my jets for the night.
 
Jealous.

I guess I should stop spending money on motorcycles, then I could have a beasty watercooled gaming rig again.

That's a real bummer. Must be frustrating as hell. Sorry man, you'll get it though. And when you do, it will be glorious.
 
It's not the PSU, pulled out the Lepa and it's whirling along fine in the 3930K, and put the Seasonic back in the main pc only to have the same issue. Most likely the Rampage is dead unless I find something I've overlooked when I go back through it again. I've had some frequent issues with it recently on strange stuff (CPU Fan Error on boot - Pumps in this case even though both reported normal rpm, occasional usb keyboard and mouse not initializing on bootup, etc.) Regardless, I'll grab some final assembly pictures before I tear it down to await replacement. 🙁

That's rough. 🙁

Well, at least you didn't break it by drilling holes into it without looking first. That would have been embarrassing.

Any chance the 3 pumps are confusing your CPU fan bios monitor? I'm just guessing here, which is what I would do if I had your issue. I can almost always guess my way out of any problem.

Most likely not, they are all hooked up to separate fan headers. CPU Fan, CPU Optional, and Chassis Fan 1a. They aren't even powered by the fan header, just pmw & rpm monitor wire runs to motherboard, powered by molex. It's not even making it far enough for that to be an issue, push power button, fans barely nudge, faint click, nothing.

They would be if I could use them I suppose..... All you can do sometimes is just laugh.

Ok, I just re-read the last couple of posts and saw your issue. I'm sorry about that, sucks when you build a monster rig and this happen....

If the PSU is clicking then shutting down, this means you maybe have a short somewhere in your PC, maybe fans, pumps, anything related to power.

I also have a Lepa G1600 and understand the behavior you are experiencing. Just recently, my PC was running fine one day and the next day when I tried to turn it on, it was clicking just like yours, fan spinning for half a second than everything was shutting down. I then took out my trusty EVGA Supernova G2 1000w and tried to troubleshoot but same issue was happenning. It turned out to be one of the controller on my fan controller that burned.

At the end, after burning the fault so many often by jumping the PSU, the controller no longer control the fans and always run them full speed. The potentiometer melted and I had to use another knob. (Lamptron FC-8 fan controller by the way, always had good results with lamptron)

In your case, I don't know where your issue is but maybe you should try your fans one by one or any wiring in your PC.

(Just trying to throw some suggestions, I might be wrong)

That is indeed possible, I've added quite a bit of cabling (extensions, etc.), any one of them could be faulty and causing a short. I will probably have to disconnect everything except the videocards and pumps to test, being a hair shy of a full gallon of water in the loop it could probably run fanless for quite some time before temps became an issue anyway. lol
 
You can also try to disconnect all hardware from the PSU and just leave the fans and pumps on the PSU, and then jump the PSU. (Green and black cable on the ATX, you might already know that 😉 )
Disconnect video cards, HDDs, SSDs, motherboard, and don't forget the CPU power.
If the PSU trips again, then you have an idea where the problem might be.

I at least know it isn't in the pumps as I had them all running during fill/bleed off of my jumpered test PSU I keep laying around, so that's a start. I also was able to quickly get to and disconnect 2 of the 3 pwm hubs, so it wasn't those. My best guess is if it's not the mobo, it's in the secondary powersupply jumper or a good possibility it may be in the 8 pin pci-e extensions I used on all the videocards.
 
I've not even fooled with it, did family stuff all weekend. Will probably get a chance tonight after little boy's football practice.
