issues after rebuild

[Pieming]

Hi,

I rebuild my old desktop with the following specs:

Asus rampage iv extreme motherboard
Asus Geforce GTX 680 
Corsair Ax1200i PSU

Corsair AIO liquid cooler
Corsair Dominator platinum DDR3 1866MHz Ram 32gigabyte(4 times 8)
Intel core i7-3930K @g.20GHz

 

The goal was to clean out the everything because there was dust build up from about 2 ears or so. so took the gpu out and the fans(of the case and AIO) and cleaned them with compressed air and a lint free rag. after cleaning them I cleaned the case's filters and the general case itself. after that I took a small compressor and blew off the motherboard and case free of the dust left over. note that I didn't take the cooler or radiator of the cpu but what I did do is lay to radiator in the case under the cpu(air may be gone into the block???) now I reinstalled everything but now the system doesn't boot properly. sometimes in makes it to the desktop but other times it doesn't get past the boot. ive tried to run 2 stick of ram instead of 4 and also 1 stick. but still the same thing. I don't really know where to look for. I think the psu is fine. ive tried to reset the cmos(via the button on the rear) and reset to optimized defaults when I did get into the overclock menu. but both did nothing to.... Any tips?

Edit: I did get to starting windows(its running windows 7) and then it shut off again... still no clue

best regards and thank in advance

Did you clean out your PSU? Because dust or hair can mess with the electrical conductivity. Does it boot into the BIOS Properly? If it does make sure the motherboard can detect everything. And Turn off the system and go through the wiring again make sure everything's plugged in properly. 

[Pieming]

Okay thank you! I didnt do anything with the psu... just took it out that's all. When i looked throught the fan cover it looked rather clean so thought it wanst necesarry. It ran before the rebuild so ill look at the wirering

[Pieming]

Okay so i look in the monitor tab of advanced mode an i am seeing that cpu temparature is at 80 degrees.... which i dont think seems right? For only starting up and going to this tab?

Are you sure that your fan is plugged in cpu_fan?

[GeneralOxxy]

Clean the PSU Also

[GeneralOxxy]

Go to main in the bios make sure you see all of your hard drives, and fans

[GeneralOxxy]

Use compressed air for your psu

[GeneralOxxy]

Or if you dont have compressed air a leaf blower will work fine

[Pieming]

So this is the main tab:

So i see that it isnt detecting 1 stick of ram so ill take 2 out and see if it says 16 but shortly after taking the picture the system stopped again... i did see the drives listed in the boot menu 

[GeneralOxxy]

Is your cpu still at 80c? Cuz if it is the system might be turning itself off because of the heat

 

It might be an issue with the cooler

[Pieming]

I like to think so to but I tested the system before I did disassemble it it didn't do this....

 

[GeneralOxxy]

Weird  Sorry man gave you all the tips i have

[LesioG]

Your CPU AIO is not warking ! idle CPU temps with working AIO should be aro 25 -35 deg C and not 80 !

What AIO Corsair model do you have ??

[Pieming]

I dont know... long time since i bought it but here is a picture. It does have air in it because i heard water when moving it around.i will let it cool down and see if it gets better ! 

Edit: It looks like a corsair H50 or H55 hydro series

[LesioG]

I am not an expert but in my opinion you shouldn't hear a water movement in the AIO when shaking ... at least I cannot hear it in main (corsair h100i v2).

I would say, unless your AIO pump is not working you have an air-lock in the pump and therefore high temp of the processor. Unfortunately this type of AIO are not repairable. 

 

EDIT:

Try to log to the Windows and straight away go to CORSAIR LINK and make sure pump is running ... good luck.

[Pieming]

well I can hear the pump running because it hear a ratling sound... that's walso a hint why it is maybe time to replace it but I think it is weird that it did work before the cleaning and it is doing this now after

 

[LesioG]

Ok so after some research I have found out that your AIO isn't connected to CPU_FAN Header but CPU_OPT which is fine but maybe it is worth to check ?? 

 

EDIT:

CPU_FAN Header is located slightly to the left

 

[Pieming]

but should my pump be connected to cpu fan or to cpu opt? my fan is at the fan port and pump at the opt port. I didn't take them loose when cleaning the system btw

 

[Pieming]

and also I am very gratefull for youre efford to help me (the noob :P)! thank you very much!!

[LesioG]

No problem my pleasure, try to switch them over as If CPU_FAN header detects the fan is not running or not running properly, it will shut down your system (or refused to start your system) to protect your CPU from overheating.

[Pieming]

oke thank you!
