Hi everybody,

as the title says one of my gpu refuses to work after ek waterblock installation.
I tested the card on air and they were fine.
My rampage V extreme give me the debug code 62. I can run the system disabling the first pci express so to use just the second card.

I already bleed the system and re-seated the card. Everything seems ok.
I'm going to put on the card the original air cooler to see if it works or is died.
I'm also thinking of a motherboard issue , if anything happened to the first pci express slot (where the defecting card is installed).

Any help is appreciated.

P.S.
The card is a gigabyte nvidia gtx 980 gaming G1 with and EK plexy waterblock and silver backplate.

Take out the card,remove any backplate and check that the legs of the capacitors and solder are not too long and shorting out. I trim them down as a matter of course now.
 
You were right! I just unscrewed the backplate and it worked! Now I have to do cable management and it is done. Thanks a lot
