murphy sucks

[Pseudodominion]

I went to boot up the nF2 watercooled setup today for the first time and no go. No Beeps just fans. GRRRRRR. There was no leakage I tested it over 24 hours, besides my fluid is non-conductive. So did my mobo flake out on me for some reason or did I possibly crack the core of my athlon putting the waterblock down. I'm afraid to find out. Actually I hope its the CPU as that would be an easy fix. The mobo is going to be a pain to pull out again. I swear I am going to kick murphy in the nuts one day.

Ya I found the cause. It will be a new mobo time. Apparently I just wasn't watching what I was doing and forceably removed about 4 DSM resisistors around the CPU socket when getting the mounting feet of the waterblock onto the ears of the socket. I can't find the tiny parts either to see if it can be resoldered. UGGGH.

That bites.

On the plus side, you can now choose a mobo where there's more free space where you need it!
