Videocard wont post without gpu fan plugged in

[krylon]

I tried installing a waterblock on my 7800GTX 512MB reference card, and the computer wont post until the GPU fan is plugged in.

What solutions are out there for this? A bios flash? Are there reference bioses or an option in the nvedit to disable this feature??

Maybe try putting a resistor across the leads so it will simulate a load?

I don't think it's looking for a load, but a RPM.
