Is any one running a z87 Stinger and a Nepton 120XL together?
I have installed 2 of them, if I use a air cooler, every thing works fine.
If I install the Nepton, the system boots to a black screen, no POST codes, BIOS, nothing, screen stays black for about 1 minutes then system shuts down.
I RMAed the first Nepton as they thought it was a bad pump, the new one does the same.
I put the air cooler back on and it boots fine.
Any ideas?

    Two things come to mind.
    too much pressure on the cpu? make the cooler tight, but don't over do it.
     
    Maybe something is shorting out the system

    Thats what I think to Rev.
    I loosened the cooler a bit, did not help any.
    I put the air cooler back on and its starts right up:/

    I would suspect the PSU. Those AIO coolers do use up more power due to the water pump.
