I hope you haven't overclocked your CPU much because that motherboard doesn't have a very capable VRM or an 8-pin power connector. Putting this under water was a terrible idea and huge waste of time and money. If you ARE running it overclocked, there's a chance you could experience VRM throttling and/or kill the motherboard and other parts.

sweet thanks. and no its not overclocked. simply did the watercooling because i liked the look of it and i literally got it for such a mark down because i know someone who works at microcenter so it was a horrible idea to pass it down compared to other coolers. so thats the story there. im saving for another one right now, more durable one as this was my first one so im not an expert or anything but thanks for the input and i dont even think this mobo is even overclockable
