I had the strangest issues today when upgrading my cooling, so I want to share the journey I had with fitting an AIO pump on my PC and how I fixed it when it would no longer boot in the hopes it may be helpful to someone else as I nearly lost my mind fixing this.

I fit a 280mm corsair H115i to my Ryzen 5 5600x in place of my AM4 stock cooler after recently upgrading to a 3080ti which I was running on an 850w 80+ gold PSU. After fitting it, I could not get a display, VGA error light on the motherboard was stuck on when it tried booting (I did get into windows once or twice weirdly, but the VGA light remained on and two of my case fans stuttered/ flickered after getting to windows).

I checked the obvious, checked the pump/fan connections, reseated RAM, GPU, power cables etc. which didn't help. I then hooked up my old 2070 super which is less power hungry and it booted up with no issues at all. I deduced the 850w PSU I was using was not up to it for some reason (bizarre as it ran the 3080ti fine before, extra fans and pump etc. must have pushed it over the edge?), but swapping to a 1000w unit solved my issue and it's now running great. But I hope this tale of troubleshooting woe might help someone having the same issue, because had I not had a spare GPU to test and a friend with a 1000w PSU laying around I would still have it in bits on the table.

Hey, totally new to clicks so I haven’t got any previous experience with using one. I’m currently really torn between the clicks case for the 16 pro and getting a power keyboard. Love the idea of the keyboard having its own power to run on, but not 100% sure how it would compare ergonomics wise with the slimmer form factor of the case. If anyone has tried both i’d love to know which you prefer and why!

Just wanted to share, got diagnosed in August on RTC via ProblemShared. Got an email yesterday confirming my appointment to start titration next month. Anybody else who has experience with titration, how did you find things? What can I expect?
