Step ONE

Hey gang.

Just wish to remind all builders of things PC, but especially all of us watercoolers out there.

The very first thing you need to do with a system build is TEST the components - motherboard, RAM, CPU, GPU... stupid RGB systems... etc.

Then proceed to add waterblocks and pumps and PETG.

That is all. Lessons learned. Trust me, its a long story.

Amen to that.
Reversing GPU install is a bitch!

Werd my brothers. I made a similar goof recently myself. Bought 2 sticks of speedy B-die to expand my gaming rig, and blocked em up without testing. One stick is dead, and I can't RMA since I almost ruined the stock heat spreader when I de-frocked it. D'OH!

eeew not good, just know a thread title like this one would not end well.

I returned a dead motherboard with the 32GB Gskills still attached.
