No power on Cooling Pump or CPU cooler
Still the bug where you can connect or the CPU cooler or the Custom cooling pump but not both.
So you can't finish the jobs because you have to reinstall customer's parts.
How ♥♥♥♥ this game is broken

Passive cpu coolers ftw

No solution, you have to replace the customer's CPU Cooler, like I said in the first post

Unless they ask specifically for a cooler that contains fans or a pump, you can use a passive CPU cooler in conjunction with a watercooling pump/res. You can do this because passive coolers do not have a fan and therfore do not require hooking up to the CPU fan header.

I did read it. The problem here is that YOU didn't specify what type of cooler you need to replace it with. Hence why I said that replacing a CPU cooler with a passive CPU cooler is an option unless they specifically requested an AiO or a brand that does not have a passive cooler.

If you don't know what a passive CPU cooler is, it's a CPU cooler that does not have to be plugged in, so you can indeed use them alongside a pump/res. There are three of these in the game.

I know what a passive cooler is, The job said that I had to replace the cooler from the customer which need also POWER. And that is my problem, Am I the only one here with that problem? Because seems nobody gets the problem

Okay, so the cooler that's in there now requires power, correct? And the customer requests that you replace it?

If the customer is indeed requesting that you replace their current cooler, do they specify what type of cooler they want (e.g. AIO, specific brand)?

Yeah, the customer's cooler needs power and they want me to replace that one. No, it was just a powered air cooler and if you see in the inventory with that yellow paper on it. So, if i replaced it by any other they say replace customer's parts

I think we're having difficulty here trying to understand your problem. So are you trying to say that this customer's computer came to you, with both a powered (with fan) cpu cooler, -AND- a custom water cooler in their case, both? And then you remove their air cooler and try to replace it and it won't let you place it? Is that what you're talking about?

No, He has a powered CPU air cooler and want me to place a custom cooled GPU.
But if i placed the custom loop for the GPU and place the powered CPU air cooler back, the CPU aircooler is not connecting to the motherboard for power. And if i fit in a passive cooler they say I have to replace the powered aircooler which was on when the pc arrived to me

just return it without plugging the cpu cooler in. It will work anyway. What are the secondary objectives? You might get away with it and even get 5 stars.

Just quitted the job but if I have the same problem in the future I'll try it. Thx for the help

Okay... why did you remove the cpu cooler in the first place? That sounds like it was your first problem. If they just want you to add custom cooling for the video card.. there's no reason to ever touch the CPU cooler for anything.

Because I couldn't fill up the reservoir because the pump wasn't powered. The only solution I had for that was disconnect the CPU cooler so the pump had power. But then I had the problem that they want me to have still their cooler in and not a passive one

I actually understand the situation now, I think you weren't explaining it clearly. It's a shame you discarded the job already. You could of submitted a bug report and sent the developers a copy of your save file. Now they may not be able to replicate it to fix it.
