Yah, that takes talent to be able to use so many emoticons in one posting!!!

It is the Bitspower NB/SB waterblock that was/is causing the short. I mounted it with the mobo laying horizontally outside the case and got it to post but as soon as I mounted the mobo in the case vertically, the short came back. Hmph...

I think tonight, I'll remove the waterblock and put thermal pads where I think the short is happening which is near the QPI DRAM block.

Frustrating...
