Need Help With Watercooled GPU!

[Jackaboy442]

My GPU (r9 390) will not send a video signal and I think it may have died. It is water cooled by an Aplhacool GPX A-390 M02 (For MSI r9 390 gaming 8g). I had one leak while I was water cooling, but the leak was on the 90 degree fitting on the GPU, but it leaked down where i caught the leak with paper towels and fixed the leak. The GPU was above where the leak was. I followed the directions for the cooler installation, and when I turned on the PC, there was no video signal. My cpu works (fx-8350 water cooled by XSPC Raystorm), and I can turn the PC on. I just need help with the GPU. I really need help with this, and I will be VERY greatful if you can help me. Thanks.

Did you test the card before you installed the water cooler on it?

Yes I did, if the card dosen't work, should I get a new one? if so, Im just going to stay away form custom cooling and use a premade corsair h110 i.

Ok, just had to ask. I've heard of people not doing it which wouldn't make sense.

As far as that goes, I couldn't say. It may very well be dead.

Do you have a different GPU to try in there to make sure it's not the system?

I have future plans myself to get a AIO for the GPU. It seems pretty cool and really efficient in contrast to the air cooling solutions in them.

I do not have another GPU to test, which kind of stinks, thanks for the help, I'll probably just return the watercooling stuff and buy a new GPU. Thank you SOOOOOO much for the help.

If you want I can link you to the mounts I'm talking about. I think it's called the kraken g10 from Nzxt. Corsair has one too.

I'll probably just get a hybrid gtx 1070, but thanks for the help =)

That's just the same! Good choice. There's one solid water cooled by gigabyte, but hybrid is just as well. The GPU is water cooled and the remainder such as the vram is air cooled.
