    EK waterblock for III gene

    My computer will not boot after I installed the EK waterblock. But if I start the computer without the 8-pin 12V ATX plug the computer starts.
    Well, maybe not the motherboard is broken, but it may just be the waterblock that shorting without destroying anything.
    I'll check on the backplate if it hit anything on the back. And I'll try to start the computer with the original cooler to be on the safe side if the motherboard is broken.
    I have not seen any burn marks on the motherboard ....... yet I have electrical tape on the side of the waterblock.
    The waterblock had also become green at the hole where the 8-pin connector is, it may have something to do with a short circuit?
    I had to disassemble the block and clean. The Green were sticky and it also smell. When I got it clean it was a dark surface below, a little rust-colored.

    Says later how it went
