My setup is as follows:

980x @ 4.138Ghz
2 x Asus GTX470 at stock speeds
2 x Intel 80Gb G1 SSD in RAID 0
Enermax Revolution 950 PSU

Cooling is:
CPU is water cooled
GTX470's are water cooled by a Koolance GPU-220 GPU only block with the stock sink for the memory and VRM's. My temps never exceed 42c under load.

......

Any ideas would be helpful. On a side note, I did have an issue with my system not wanting to boot at my overclock settings the other day, left it alone over night and everything went back to normal. Not sure what is going on, it's like I have gremlins in the system messing with everything.

Thanks.
Yes I know exactally what's going on, before you immediately dismiss what I say I want you to look at the bolded parts as to why I came to this conclusion. You have a slow leak coming from your CPU block; likely one of the barbs, see highlighted parts as to why I think that. If you have a slow leak what's the first thing that CPU block is going to drip on, your MAIN card. Also when you leave it overnight what does that do? It removed the positive pressure in your lines causing the leak and dries the water on the card. Check by the PCI-E slot, my money is on a leak ecause I had the same issue and swore Id never get w/c again after I ignored it and blew out my vcard.
