Added Water Cooling to Previously Running System - "No Signal" from Display

[axel_anderson]

Hey there.

I just added a water cooling loop to a system that was previously running on air. No components changed whatsoever. When I booted up the system after getting the water loop finished, the display is saying "No Signal." I've reset the CMOS and tried single sticks of RAM in various configurations. No dice. Again, the components all worked when they had their stock air cooling solutions on them. Any ideas?

Intel 6600k
ASUS Sabertooth TUF Z170S
Ballistix DDR4
HX 750i
ASUS GTX 1060

1. check that power cables are connected properly to both PSU and GPU.
2. try to use the onboard GPU and check if the 1060 is recognized in windows (or whatever you are using as OS)

I tried a different cable from the PSU to the graphics card. Plugged in securely at both ends. No dice there.

Is the a way to force the system to use the onboard graphics without removing the graphics card. Trying to avoid disassembling the water cooling loop again. Thanks.

of course. just plug the monitor cable to the outputs on motherboard and turn on (or reboot) the computer.
