Hi, last night I put kraken G10 water cooling bracket on my Gtx 770. The main reason was the noise my stock cooler was making and I have define r4 quiet case so it was annoying. Everything went fine, I turned it on, stressed it with some of the games on ultra settings, Temps were like 40 c lower and I played games for like 3 hours with no problems. After that I turned on a movie in gom player and my monitor went out of signal In 10 min. I could hear the movie and all but display wouldn't respond until I restarted. Then it happened 3 more times. I have a new Asus pg279q 3 weeks old so I don't think it's causing the problem.
One more thing, when I turn on the pc I can hear water pumping inside corsair H50 for 1 min then it stops. I don't think it's normal cause I have corsair h90 cooling my cpu and never heard that noise.
Anyone experienced something familiar?

My specs:
-fractal design r4
-asus sabretooth z77
-Intel i5 4660k with Corsair h90 watercooling
-16 gb ddr3
-Gtx 770 4gb watercooled
-Corsair 850 PSU
-windows 10

you can see leaks if there are any:) and due to the nature of GPU mounting, the cooler is usually below the card, so gravity would save the card.
I was talking about the one from waterblock. check in BIOS of some monitoring software like HWMonitor what RPM it shows.
If gaming shows same symptom, try to reinstall the cooler. May be it loosened or something.
correct me if i'm wrong, but there is a 3 pin connector from the pump/cpu block that you connect to the motherboard. you can check the RPM. if it's working there is no problem.
you can hear a bit of noise because some air gets into the pump. After some time it's pushed out.
Can you still play games for more than 10 minutes or it will go black screen too ?

There is is one connector from water block, one from 12mm fan cooling the radiator and a third one on kraken itself, all working properly. Haven't played any game since but I ll try tonight. I was worried there is a leek or something causing some kind of short, hope am wrong
