What a superb machine!

 

If you've had time to test yet... how are you finding the 980TI's in SLI???

 

Which PSU is powering this beast?

Wow, quite a monster.

Can't wait to read your next post ... "What gives? I'm getting stutters over New York on a cloudy day will all settings maxed out!!" Ha Ha.

(I'm fighting, really fighting, the urge to get back into simming and plucking down my retirement cash for a new rig.)

Wow! And all that to play solitaire! :P

What happens when it leaks :Hmmmph:

I am using a Corsair 1200i (1200w) which is frankly overkill as the system probably draws about 650w from the wall at peak. But it saves me future proofing. I also have a low power mod on the 980ti's with the help from the folks from Zotac as I dont intend to overclock them so they dont draw excess power.

I installed a blow off pressure valve on the reservoir to reduce the chance of a large pressure jump in the hoses that would cause one of them to blow off. Also, those lines you see in the hoses are reinforced, so they are very very hard to install into compression fittings but will never come out one they are on. 

Let me guess.... you want 64bit.

In that case the PSU is also running in it's most efficient range.

 

Lets us know how you get on with two 980Ti's in SLI.

Have no idea what Im looking at but its amazing :smile:
