During the last 3 to 4 months I have been knee deep into building my own custom PC spec list to follow bellow. After intsalling the Corsair Hydro X custom cooling loop for my 3970x I began the final assembly on the PC. Got every thing setup for start up and nothing. Couldn’t even get any lights to come on on the MB, RAM, Custom Cooling Solution, even the PSU didn’t start which I found weird. So I backed tracked and started disassembly and testing as follows:
-
Unhooked PSU and tested using jumper from my hydro X kit (had just completed 24hr leak and air test of cooling loop.
-
Checked connections to and from MB leaving only RAM NVME CPU Cooling and CPU attached. Still got nothing even used on board power button on the board itself.
So called up Gigabyte for Repair on said board and sent it back for repair. Found out today that on their end that the board according to them is fine when tested with multiple set ups.
My Question is what else is next as since I don’t have a test bench and can’t really test RAM or CPU without a board?
