Hi guys,
Running a custom wc loop. Recently decided to add my 980ti to the loop. Remade the loop with rigid (PETG) tubing, to incorporate the 980ti.
The card is a reference board, and I used an EK TitanX block for it with the plexi top. Originally the card was by Inno3d. While installing the copper block I actually used a screw that was slightly longer that was meant by EK to be used in another screw hole. This screw was a couple of mm longer, and as soon as I reached the end while screwing it in I stopped when I reached the copper and heard a noise. I never heavily torqued the screw, or used a lot of pressure.
After this had happened I was afraid I couldve crushed my core, since they supposedly get crushed incredibly easily. However, I shrugged it off since it was such a little mistake, and proceeded with mounting the block. Also, I inspected the core itself, and it looks completely fine (no visible damage whatsoever).
After this I completed my loop, and tried to boot the pc. No dice. The mobo leds light up, the fans go on, everthing looks like a booting computer. Except one thing: the screen remains black.
Does anyone have any clue what can be wrong? Did I crush my core? Please help me!
