FUDGE FUDGE FUDGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
well i received all my parts for my rebuild and had some time to put it together.
did a little mod on the case (will post pictures when i find the camera)
i wanted to test my 7950 before putting on the waterblock, but my system was torn down and none of my friends has the system to test it-so i says "what the hell, just do it" well i did it and my 7950 isnt working.
when i first installed it, it would run until the bios, then shut down, so i put one of my 460s in and installed windows.
tried the 7950 and it would run until the windows screen, then stop. if i try it now. (it is still in the system) it will run for a few seconds then stop.
as for heat, i have had my hand on it when it runs for a bit, but it doesnt seem to get hot, not really even warm.
now i took my time putting on the block, used thermal paste and pads where needed.
i am getting the "No GPU Beeps" from my motherboard.
so does anyone have any info or anything i can try to get this going before i pull off the block and reattach the stock HSF and start a RMA on it.?
i am just going to let my gpu block dangle while i RMA it, is there any problem with that?
thanks.
