Boots up just fine with the 975 on air. Flashed BIOS 56 on it, which is the latest on the evga site. Once everythings running good with the GT I'll do 58.

COOL

:D

Thanks again to all :):)

Ah glad you got it sorted out Daawg!

it wasn't mentioned so i'll mention it ...the memory problem was sorta talked about in one forum i forget..but bad mounts or mounts that can flex a mobo has been the culprit...since you're on air...it eliminated the problem??? just letting you know.

Update

BIOS 56 installed, GT installed, kneaded rubber reinstalled, SS phase head installed.

We have ignition!!!! lol

Boots just fine now

Just didn't think they were still shipping product with such an old BIOS on it :blush:

I have been fighting the cascade as well today. Either I have a bad mount or the mobo cant take the cold. I have a proven CPU which can take cold. :Dizzy:

Thanks Neuro :)

lol.. being on "'air" consisted of my old nactua 775 HSF sitting on the 975 with tim in between em, and my F1EE sitting on top of it to keep some pressure lol One Yate Loon fan too :D

Wansn't purty, but it worked:clapping:

Glad you have it sorted out. Now come over to my house and show me how to mounts a evap. He He! :D

If that's you in the avatar.. I'll be RIGHT over :rofl: If not, and you live close I'll come by sometime anyway :D

Actually no harder than mounting a water block, maybe easier than some HSFs too :shock:

Yeah I was just kidding. Just have been fighting this thing for a few hours now. It seemed to boot on air without any issues and when I put the cold to it it wont go. Well we have nothing but time I guess.

When I have mount problems, I have to walk away for 20 minutes or so and come back for success... Raging through hardware is getting expensive... :ohcrap:
