Hey
I got two Kraken g10 and two corsair h75
Installed them on
Gainward GeForce GTX 780Ti
ZOTAC GeForce GTX 780Ti
And kept the brackets for the vram on both.

The first card i installed was Zotac, idle temp is 29 c.
Second card starts off at 70 and moves down to 45 c.

Trying to start up the computer with the monitors on the second card removes the signal. It shuts down if i try to activate sli. I assume it's because of the temprature spikes then on the card.
It can run the monitors after the computer has started, and I move the cables over to it.


The h75 on the first card made no watery sounds when moving it around, on the second one it did.
There's also a lot of watery sounds on startup as well.

Could the problem be the second h75?

Ok now i feel daft, the cooler didn't even touch the gpu. The bracket is covering most of the card, and leaves a square opening for the gpu. Which H75 being round doesn't fit.
 


There's your problem...wrong cooler style and incorrect installation.
