Yesterday, I put everything together to leak test it by connecting pump to an isolated power source and so far nothing leaked after a couple of hours!! Woohoo!!











So I connected everything up in preparation for final cable routing and then hit the power button and...




I got nothing!!! Grrr!!!!

No beeps, nothing!! Mobo won't post. What happens is that when I switch on the power supply, the ROG and all the mobo buttons light up. But when I press the Start button on the mobo, it turns on for a brief 1/2 second and then it all shuts down. I've spent hours trying to figure it out. Apparently it happens when there is a short or something. It worked just fine prior to the project so I don't know what could have happened. Hmph.

I thought "oh crap" I messed up the power supply. But it isn't that since I connected it up to a another pc and it works fine.

This sucks @$$!!

Project on hold but this will give me time to order more sleeving and enjoy Christmas!!

If you have any ideas before I RMA it, I'd be happy to hear it... I'll give Asus a call and try to RMA it.
