Fixing my $12,000 BRICK

[@Bitwit]

Quick Update: Now the CPU is overheating like crazy, hitting 105 degrees C while rendering (all-core OC to 4GHz, manual 1.2V). Could be improper seating, liquid metal, etc. I'll investigate and keep you guys posted. :)

[@wh1techerry]

Bitwit if there is any way I could contact you for help on my first gaming pc I would very much appreciate that

[@KingChristo]

Bitwit sounds like bad thermal paste application, although obviously nobody could be certain without getting hands on EDIT: After taking some time to think there is also a possibility something went wrong during the cleaning of the CPU block, although unlikely, still very possible.

[@RadioActiV_]

Bitwit well played

[@gandhravmalhotra7098]

Ahh....hope you figure out something soon and yes do check that thermal paste because that's what in my opinion could be causing this issue. Hope it fixes soon enough!

And why AIO cooling beats both (in terms of lazyness). So easy to work in an AIO cooled rig because there is all that extra free space!

AIO will hit the same temps as air cooler when gaming, but take ages to cool down, thats why most are going back to air

It was his SLI bridge. It wasn't lighting up in the beginning and then it lit up after he reassembled it. I could be wrong but I thought that was the most likely cause. I'm no expert though.

Hi there! First, just wanted to say that your channel is very informative and engaging and I've been using many of your vids to help my daughter ascend from building robots to building computers as a hobby. I just wanted to say, from a chemist's perspective, that DI water is not such a good idea as pure water, with heat, exhibits a great deal of polarization through something called 'dipoles'. Deionized water, with heat, is great at stripping electrons from metal. This means that steel will form rust and aluminum will form a thin layer of something called alumina (aluminum oxide) which is a pretty good insulator of heat. Hope this benefits you in some way!

[@praetorxyn]

TheB29Bomber It's worth the amount of silence you get. AIO's and air (especially on GPU's) are far too loud. Custom loops let you have so much radiator space you can run the fans silently under load.

[@Kunteki]

you can get a 360 rad AIO same shit really, way overkill for a single cpu ^^, that can run silently too ^^

[@praetorxyn]

Kunteki No it can't because AIO pumps are hellishly loud compared to a properly decoupled D5. I specifically mentioned GPU fans though. Maybe there are AIO's for GPU's, I haven't seen any. When the rule of thumb is two 120mm fans for every overclocked component and you instead have six or more 140mm fans, you can run those fans at dead silent speeds even under load.

If you’re spending 900 dollars on a case you really shouldn’t use anything but a custom loop.

I'm new to PC building/gaming or just PC in general but one of the things I think I'm going to do when I build my first water cooled build is to use antifreeze in the water solution instead of just water or water and that coloured gunk. Antifreeze has anti rust properties and other properties to stop the corrosion of metals such as aluminium (your radiator). It also protects rubber seals and other plastics. It raises the boiling point of water and more importantly, its heat transfer properties, and comes in some nice colours.

[@thehikinggamer]

I think you hit the nail on the head with the GPU not being seated properly. I have had that adventure more than once. Some PCI Express slots can be very picky and you need to push everything in perfectly straight or it won't make proper contact on some motherboards. I think it was twice that I ended up reseating a card and wished I had done that before I did everything else, once on pre-built unit I was troubleshooting for somebody and once on a unit that I built. As to your CPU, It is rare that chip defects cause excess heat to that degree. The heat needs to be lead away so I would definitely redo the thermal paste to be sure it's making appropriate contact and then just reassemble everything from there so that you can make sure everything is making firm contact. It could be just the silliest thing like the paste being uneven in the wrong place or just something not making firm enough contact. Your pumps look like they are running strong so I doubt it's anything to do with the cooling loop.

System was posting to second card and or bad video output port , thats why post code was ok, lel Do you even pc speaker for ok post beep?

[@paulanomoly7977]

YES!! That's exactly what was thinking too, he forgot what KISS means. I couldn't stop yelling at the screen what a dumb a** he was for not even thinking of that first. 2 cards, 8 outputs, ya think one card or port could be bad? Then, he back flashes the BIOS and gets an A3. Even if the BIOS didn't see a drive he would still get video.

[@hustlr23]

The read out on the motherboard with the POST code replaces the error beeps.

[@SlothOfSpeed]

It's so comforting to see even Bitwit has to deal with those really strange computer problems.

[@SekilasIT]

Wow 😊😊

[@deepergodeeper7618]

3:26 oof thats brutal

[@nicoherrerai]

[@GolomMamba]

but have you tried turning it on and off

[@jad43701]

AAH, you too have worked in the Cable TV industry!

[@Noureddine575]

Oh yeah lemme build a 12 k$ pc and let it in the corner of my house untouched for months, life is good xdd

[@Excellerator420]

Noureddine NeaR its not like he traveled to another country, runs a business and keeps making more relivent videos that those of us can enjoy. But im sure with your amazing time managent skills he would have had the time.

[@mm-vv2de]

Redivh Ikr who cares about the 12 THOUSAND Dollars that he spent for nothing..

[@jaysheriffe6292]

Redivh there's always one of you, who just can't tell when a person is kidding. He wasn't saying he has poor time management or that he could do better. He was joking around at the fact Bitwit's life allows him to have that $12k monstrosity just lying around collecting dust for months and act so casually about it.

[@godlikemachine645]

jay sheriffe the fact that he has a 12k computer isnt crazy anyway. Its a busness computer.

[@jaysheriffe6292]

business computer or no it doesn't change the fact the original post was just making a joke does it....*facepalm*

[@yesnt6739]

That set up is beautiful

[@deinemuddaisdoof]

Maybe the waterblock for the cpu applied too much pressure / cpu not seated correctly, causing it to not properly detect the cpu

[@HarlesBently]

deinemuddaisdoof he cleared CMOS and reverted to previous bios. That same message will come up everytime by doing that.

[@yousefalsammarraie4020]

3:20 ouf didnt age well

[@luluknighty1044]

I was gonna comment the exact same. Oof

[@Seth9628]

Over 10 hours, happy you got it working.

[@osamayshak]

OMG Kayle not using the Gamer's Nexus Mode Mat?! #REPORTED!

[@osamayshak]

cool video tho

[@jinx20001]

pause the video at 7.01... he is using a nexus mod mat, and I believe the other one with yellow on was a mod mat too just perhaps a different variation.

[@qwinex5570]

5:33 bf tells me he needs help cuz hes 2 weak tells me to leave likes hes the boss -_-

[@skidroux8092]

I think the problem was with RAM, i've had issues with ram before and not getting anything displayed unless u remove all ram and do a CMOS reset. Even then just booting with 1 stick to get it to POST then installing the additional DIMM's. If this isnt an actual solution then i am stumped too as to what it could be. If it was a GPU issue not being seated properly I believe pluggin it into a monitor would come up as no output device detected. Looking forward to a feedback / reply. Great video and awesome setup, Kyle!

[@tylerlogsdon8623]

I have a theory: wifey came and unseated the video card

[@sverre1734]

Tyler Logsdon 🤔🤔🤔🤔

[@newt9105]

3:20 turned out to be true after all

[@shangrilaladeda]

Quick tip always check ram first that causes the problem most of the time and a simple reseating fixes it most of the time, i am saying this from experience i just had a similar system i recently rebuilt

[@think3046]

You should have got Lyle to fix it 😆

[@MrPerfectPepe]

3:21 that joke didn't age well....

[@jacquestaljaard6644]

Had a similar problem to this before. When I turned on the pc I'd have no errors but there was no post . I eventually figured out that power saving on my monitor was messing with the rtx2080 . Now I have to time switching on the monitor so it boots. A few people reported that display port on the 2080 is buggy

[@Brookler]

I had a similar problem with my PC. Upgraded the RAM and the computer wouldn't turn on thought I may have shorted the motherboard or something. I had to leave the PC for a while as work got busy but luckily had my laptop to do work. Come back to the PC a few months later and it turns out I hadn't seated one of the RAM sticks properly. Just pushed it in a bit more and it works fine.

[@longboy8998]

Brookler yea ram sticks can be a bitch like that, I spent 4 hours diagnosing a friends computer. And all we had to do was push in the ram a bit more XD

[@pumbaa3006]

I had a similar problem. A friend and I both built new pcs for Christmas. He brought his over to show me and it would not turn on. I looked after 20 minutes found out there was no 8 pin to the mobo. still Wouldnt work. 2 hours later we realized that the ram was in 1 slot to the left.

[@swanknight8134]

Dislike for not using the Gamers Nexus Mod Mat during your tear down! lol
