  1. Hey guys, I have a Formula VII MB, the Water 3.0 Extreme, and the ROG Front Base.  The Water 3.0 Extreme is plugged into the CPU_FAN pins on the MB, using 120mm Enermax fans.

    Everything works fine, mechanically, but everytime I boot from a cold start, I get a POST beep indicating a hardware failure, and the screen says I have a CPU fan error.

    The MB and the ROG Front base will not read the RPM speed of the fans, however, the fans run and the CPU stays around the low to mid 30's while idle or doing common things, internet surfing, etc.  CPU temp went up to about 45 / 52 while playing Diablo 3 the other day, nothing seems out of the normal.

    Drivers are installed and BIOS is updated.  My only thought right now is to plug the fan connection into the CPU_OPT and see if it can read the rpm from there.

    Any thoughts?

  2. Some shots of the finished product.  Next year I'm going to ditch the 650ti and get a dual SLI setup, tyhen I'm going to set up a custom liquid cooling loop, hopefully Thermaltake will have all their custom pieces available by then.  Running a 128 GB SSD boot drive, with 2, 1 TB HDD's in a RAID 0.  I have 2 spare 1 HDD's that I'm  going to put into a diskless NAS as a backup.  User profiles are moved to the RAID also.

    And the DRACONEM mousepad will be arriving next month.

  3. I have the Level 10 GT Snow edition. I'm also using an ASUS Formula VII MB but I'm painting the armor white. Need a strong power supply because I'll be adding dual SLI cards (possibly dual processor) next year, along with a custom liquid cooling loop, that's why I'm looking at 1200+ watts (currently have the EVGA Supernova 1300 G2). Was also going to change out the cables with red single braided cables. Black works, but that white just pops!! I'm thinking on removing the side fan when I water cool and replacing it with some plexiglass, so the PSU would be visible. It's a work in progress.
