Hey guys im facing a bit of an issue with ek waterblock. ill post my specs first

Intel Core i7 975 Extreme
Asus Rampage II Extreme Motherboard
Corsair Dominator GT 2000Mhz Ram 6GB
Gainward 4870X2 GS GLH Edition (the one which has 3 slots)
Corsair 1000W Modular PSU

and now wc equipment

XSPC 360 RAD
Danger Den/Laing DDC 3.25 -12V 18 Watt Version
XSPC Premium Acrylic Reservoir for Laing DDC
3/8" Tubing
BItspower Compression Fittings
EK-FC4870 X2 CF High Performance Water Block - Nickel
Enzotech Sapphire Rev.A CPU Block

I just installed the EK 4870x2 full cover nickel plated with acetal top waterblock on my GAINWARD 4870X2 GS GLH EDITION. After a full 24 hour leak test i hook it up to my motherboard and power it up but i get no vga detected (board beeps thrice which means no vga). ive tried tightening the screws and loosening them as well but still no vga. anyone have any idea what could be the problem? This is my first attempt ever at watercooling so im a bit scared and confused. Thank you

Are the power cables for the VGA plugged in?
