    settlwlvs reacted to Oslosurfer in BSOD when shutting down and Network trouble   
    I updated to the latest drivers and then turned off the WiFi adapter in Device Manager as well as the router. I was able to shut down properly without a BSOD and it still works now with the WiFi on... YAY!
    I'm not sure what changed, but it worked! No more BSODs and no random disconnecting from my WiFi!
     
    Thanks people!

    ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) is a lot more likely than you pushing the graphics card in too hard. You don't have to feel a shock for it to damage components (80 volts can damage a component, a shock you can feel is around 3,000 volts. Sitting in a chair can generate around 100...) Considering you were on your carpet it could be the culprit.
     
    I'd suggest getting an ESD strap before you decide to fiddle with any more components. It's just a little bracelet you clip to the case or plug into a socket, and they're super cheap.  Another protip is keep your room's humidity around 50%, dry air can cause static buildup. Sorry about your mobo, and I hope this helps prevent any future issues.

    I looked at getting one a while back. If I remember right, the pumps are on the fans instead of the CPU mount, which in theory should increase cooling potential by eliminating the heat radiated from the pump.
     
    Considering that I mistakenly purchased a Sentey Optimus case ($50 mid-size, would not recommend) and a 240mm rad without checking that it would fit, I am definitely most excited about the Eleven Hundred. My side panel isn't even on my computer right now because my radiator has to sit on top of the case with the hoses coming out and over.
    Having a case with plenty of room for a water cooled system and decent looks (which I thing the Eleven Hundred has) would be pretty nice. And hey, with all the fan slots it has maybe I could get away with a Sapphire R7 250.
