GPU Waterblocks?

Color theme? Red maybe...
Pump?

Rad? T-Line? I am leaning towards a small rad but it must look cool with the UV.


Any advice or recommendations? Especially with those video cards?

[r11]

Does that case have good spots to mount a pump and a res? I am sure the rads will be fine. I will have an extensive plumbing system in their.

I am also looking for tips on the highest cfm fans I can get that are quiet (under 20 dba).. I may just use the ones it comes with or those big TFC Triebwerk fans if I can squish them in their.

I am also open to suggestions about the case... but I want to stay small

Case has weird orientation, however there's a review of said case on the site.
And damn that's alot of nice hardware , and cash.
I don't make enough on my waitering job.

If you're spending that much, why not wait for eVGA's dual socket Classified server-wannabe board?
Can't beat a 100% increase in physical and virtual cores. :P

[Kayen]

OH if you're willingto buy used, there's that CPU on kijiji for $750 here in Edmonton FYI. BNIB it says.
Also i fullyagree with ayah there.

[AmuseMe]

I like it! Are you getting a motherboard block too?

[Chromey]

Thats a few Ponies... Are you sure on the Case though?

[r11]

I was thinking about a motherboard block but it's low on the priority.


The new classified board? What would the performance gains be? I doubt it would be 100% .. server-wannabe?

If I wait ... why not wait for i9? hahaa. We'll I will do some research as this next system is going to have to last me at least a year! ;)
