Hi,
Since I don't believe in the saying: "If it ain't broke, don't touch it", I decided to change my Noctua NH-C12P SE14 for a water cooled solution in order to leave more space to my Northbridge to breathe.
The motherboard is a Gigabyte X48-DS5, CPU is a Q9550s; the whole is overclocked 34%. I added a Corsair H80 in a Cooler Master HAF 932 case. No, the H80 does not have the LGA 775 compatibility problem seated as it is. CPU temps are fine. I added a 40mm fan on the South and Northbridge and of the latter I removed the top plate and bent some fins (fins were bent to glue the top plate) to let air through (yeah, I'm kinda desperate).
The system keeps giving me black screens and sometimes just shuts off. I figured it would be a temperature problem but as you can see in the attached picture, they are just fine.
What can generate a black screen of death like this?
