I just completed a new build. The build and S/W install was done with a stock air CPU cooler. The build was uneventful and without issue.
After the liquid cooling was installed, the system would not complete boot.
It powers for about two seconds then reboots in an endless loop.
I verified the install of the liquid cooler, removed (including mounting bracket) and reinstalled. This had no effect. Verified no short in pump or radiator fans (it still reboots, even with liquid cooler not electrically connected)
Tracked the issue to the memory channel assignment:
2 X 8GB DIMMs
If plugged into slots 1 & 3, endless reboot.
If plugged into slots 2 & 4, endless reboot.
If plugged into slots 1 & 2, boots normally.
If plugged into slots 3 & 4, boots normally.
1 X 8GB DIMM
Both memory sticks will work in any slot, (one at a time)
I'm about to request an RMA for the MOBO. Am I missing something? Is this a known issue with an existing fix?
Thank you in advance for any information.
