I finally rebuilded my PC and what was my surprise, when after installing the DangerDen NV-40 v1.1 waterblock on the damn noisy PNY 6800 GT card, the machine refused to boot. I reseted bios - no help. I replaced the card with oldie FX5200 - machine worked. Back with 6800GT - not working again.
And then I get the idea - plug the fan back to the PNY cardie, it might... Any yea! It works now.

Of course, running my machine with opened case, and fan running on DFI manual sitting on Audigy 2 zs card aren't somewhat exactly what I hoped for, so my question is - anyone ever deal with such protection? And how?

I quess that best way will be to change the bios, right?

Any help?

PS. hardware solution in limited complexity is possible as well, but I really want guickly get over this nonsense protection. Damn, I got angry. I quess someone on PNY has to read my angry letter then...

PS2. PNY 6800 GT, Bios: 5.40.02.15.51
