Chicken Patty is just getting started
Default

hello guys,

Well I got home and it had done the same thing at default clocks. I took the rig apart, removed the water loop to just check everything out again. I decide im going to take it off the motherboard tray I had it on from my TT armour case and just put my QX cruncher in there. So I take the now empty tech station (where the QX used to be) and put the i7 on it with stock cooler. Now its fine, runs furmark, and everything so far. Even at 4.3 Ghz. The only thing I can think off is that either the backoplate for the waterblock was grounding somehow, or that the mobo was grounding in the tray. Any feedback?

both are possible bro, find where ground is and insulate... elect tape usually works
