Hi all,

I NEED AN EXPERT:

I installed Swiftech KOMODO full block on my XFX HD6950. Everything went flawless except I have no signal to the monitor :)
However, systems boots all the way to the windows....hmmm I have never seen or head of this before. Did anyone come across something like that before?
So that made me thinking and I re-installed the stock cooling back. Now sit down for this!
I card works, monitor is on no problem... so just to confirm I repeated the steps and I got same results.

Stock cooling = image.
Water block = no image

So here is what I'm thinking...Is there some kind of ground to DVI that is broken when water block is installed?
Or the issue could be somehow connected to the power connector for the stock fan? I can actually rule that one out. I'll try to connect fan while water block is on...
I'll be back with results.

But still any help is appreciated.

Thanks
