I'm runing it on a WC I did plug the 4 pins stock coolers fan cable in cpu pwm fan socket ( just in case). Didn't help.
My setup consists of:

R3E with EK water block

Corsair 800d
PC power & cooling turbo cool 1200w psu
I7-980x extreme with Swiftech XT waterblock on the same loop with mobo cooled by MCP655, Swiftech QP-RES 320 with Feser triebwerk mid speed rad fans
Corsair Dominator GT 6gb 2000mhz
EVGA gtx480 FTW x2 cooled by a seperate loop with mcp655 and 2x feser xchanger 360s
Crucial 256gb sata 3 SSD
1tb WD black caviar
fan controlers BR writter etc...

Any other Ideas why it doesn't start at all before I RMA the board ?
Near your 24pin connector on the motherboard there are several red LEDs that change during post. Which one does the board get stuck on whilst posting?
