You are not just looking for water, you are looking for burnt and missing components as well.
Good thing for rma though. Might as well just pack it up and call it a day as you stated. Good thing it was only dry ice and not ln2. That would have been a big waste of money there.

I also did inspect the MB with a magnifying glass for any burnt or missing components to no avail, But I have thought about One Last thing to Try............
 
From what I have been reading on different Forums about causes on an ASUS RIV BE getting an Error/Q Code "00", Some had found that the CPU had actually Failed and caused this error, So I'm going to try the 4930K on another X79 MB JUST to be sure before I RMA the MB.

Man, THIS has sure been a Busy 2 Days for Me!
 
As I stated in the previous post, Before I went ahead and did an RMA on my ASUS RIV BE Motherboard, I borrowed an ASUS P9X79 LE X79 to Test my original i7-4930K CPU to see if maybe it was the CPU that Failed and gave me the Error Code "00" and Not the MB.
 
Yesterday I set up the P9X79 with a single GTX 480, 16GB Ram and installed the Old CPU, Turn the System on and..................Nothing!, Just like my RIV BE!
 
Then I removed the Old CPU and tried my friends 3930K CPU and it Booted right up into the Desktop!
 
Apparently, It was My Original 4930K that FAILED and NOT the ASUS RIV BE MB, So I called Intel for an Advanced RMA for an overnight replacement 4930K which I received this morning, tried it first in the P9X79 MB and it Booted right up, So I removed it from that MB and installed it in My RIV BE, Also installing all four KPE's in 4-Way SLI again, But THIS Time running Only Chilled Water Cooling on the New CPU and Graphics Cards, and................Away We Go, Booted right up into the Desktop and the System is Now running just like it was before!.....Yah! The ASUS survived the INTEL Failure!
 
What have I learned about the Moral of this Story?......Not Much, I'm Still as Crazy as I ever was.
 
Evidently (At Least with MY Old 4930K), Even though I was running High OC's with Cooling Temperatures between -30C to -62C in the last few months of Benching/Testing, This CPU Didn't Like being run at 1.6v Vcore for any Extended period of Time, and Just Gave it Up , Although I will tell you this is the First INTEL CPU I have had Fail in Many Years of OC'ing.
 
So Now I'll be Running Just Chilled Water Cooling on this System while more than likely preparing to sell the RIV BE and the New 4930K like I was talking about Before this little "00" episode occurred, in preparation for moving on to an X99 System (When They are Released).
 
 
 
 

I received an Email today from INTEL about the i7-4930K I sent back for an Advanced Return Warranty Claim and they have fully reimbursed me for the New CPU they sent last week.

You would have thought that should have taken care of all my "System Failure" problems, But Noooooo.........Not Quite!
 
After a few days of Testing/Benching again, I have decided to send back the RIV BE for an RMA since even though it was working with the New CPU, It was now having some USB and SATA port issues.
 
It looks like I'll have to wait and see (hopefully) what ASUS will or won't do with the MB under Their Warranty Program!  

There's always something broken it seems like lol. (Not specifically with your system, just in general)

It's just a fact of Life (i.e., The Overclocker's Life ) that sooner or later, You're going to push things too far.
 
I've got my doubts on whether or not ASUS is going to cause me any grief about the problems with the RIV BE, But Que Sera, Sera!
 
 

I Received the RIV BE back from ASUS Yesterday, Installed the New 4930K, Memory, KPE's again for One last Time to Check Everything for proper operation after which I Disassembled everything and Immediately found a Buyer that bought the Motherboard and CPU Last Night and Now I'll be waiting for the X99 MB's and CPU's to be released so I can re-install the Four KPE's I'm Keeping!

 
I Still have a set of the 16GB and 32GB G-Skill Trident X DDR3 2666 Memory, and That should be All of the X79 Components Left I will need to Sell.
 
In the Meantime, I'll be busy catching up on some new and older games using my EVGA E759/3-Way GTX 680 Classified System and watching for Component Release Dates.  

Nice way to go Hallow....I'm about ready to do the same.  

Yeah, I was glad that Both INTEL and ASUS replaced everything under warranty, Plus I also just sold the 32GB G-Skill modules this past weekend.  

What are you replacing the ram with?
