You know.. I never think of the easy solution.
I swear, I forget that this monitor is 120hz in 2D sometimes..

Is this what getting older feels like? ****.
BTW Demo.. are you running any type of extravagant AA or anything? I can't seem to get AA forced through nvidia inspector, it just ignores everything.. and gives me that same 60 FPS average.
Framelimiter works great, thanks.

In Shogun I'm using the SMAA injector plus 4xMSAA in game and 2xtrSSAA in Nv CP iirc.

I am actually waiting to see what Nvidia has to offer with their Kepler GPUs.



No offense to anyone else here that's an enthusiast, just needed to give KAC a jab back for that one. FFS, I just scrounge together nearly $1000 over the past 3 months and he comes in and says "well where's the new video card" like its not good enough for him. Like I give a ****. Asshat.

Way to be a db about this thing. Your rig is screaming for a new video card and I just pointed out the obvious.

[Meteor_of_War]

GK104 is a Kepler chip

Yeah, I was agreeing that is indeed what I am holding out for. Sorry if I didn't come off clear on that.

Nah, you were being the db... Instead of "nice upgrade" you chose to go the route of "heh, where's the video card?" Condescending.

But thanks for playing.

I figured after I thought about it.
I'm also waiting for Kepler

Wow! I didn't even know they posted it.

So I take it you didn't win anything.

I won public ridicule.

I simply posted in the "Post pics of your rig" thread not thinking that it would be on the fron't page later on.

Nice rig. Glad to see you finally went with water.

The beast has awoken, but not quite ready yet as i have more wiring work to do, still it took me amost 3 days of work to get it to this point, wich included a lot of mesuring and modding to simply be able to fit everything....Pictures come first:





The 4 HD7970's, water cooled and ready to rock.....





2 extra punps besides the one already built into the reservoir itself located on a 5 1/4 bay, so that makes 3 pumps not just for extra flow but also redundancy.





The modifed radiator sandwich this time with 5 fans and i replaced a pair of 120mm by a pair of 140 mm that have high static pressure, and also the flow is improved because i removed some 90* fittngs.






It's bled and still got some detailing work to do on the harness, but the brunt of the work is done.....I'll post a final picture once it's all really finished and nice and clean.

[Meteor_of_War]

Holy **** @ shadow001.

[shadow001]

Holy **** @ shadow001.

It'll look even cleaner when i'm really done with it, as i'm seriously thinking about sleeving all the wiring black to match the interior finish and painting the blue ray drives housing black as well as the reservoir pump unit on the 5 1/4 bay, but it's pretty time intensive and isn't somthing you do in a few hours....

[CurrentlyPissed]

I feel shitty after following up after Shadow =(. But here's the 7950s installed.

[shadow001]

Very nice and clean setup CP and don't worry about little old me, i just have this knack to fill out a case with hardware no matter how big it is....

[logical]

2 grand in video cards, whats the total system cost?

Hey man, I jizzed my shorts...

[BababooeyHTJ]

How did you sandwich the radiators?

[demo]

Looks like he just screwed the fans to both rads either side?

And nice looking rig shadow

Already over 10 000$ with all the water cooling gear quite easily....Heck the CPU's cost me 2400$ and the three 27" displays(2560*1440 resolution), were 2200$....Even the PC case was 500$(Lian LI v2120x).

With locking nuts too, but the system isn't fully ready yet....I'll post better pictures once it is, but first i need to rest as my fingers still hurt from tightening all those compression fittings from all the hoses....

This is why I prefer spring clamps, they're easier to work with.

[shadow001]

True, but since compression fittings consist of just 2 parts that don't rely on spring tension to keep them in place, once they're tight(and i mean oh my god my fingers hurt tight here ), it's basically impossible to lose tension, and they can't break like plastic clamps either, and look far better than screw clamps anyday as the pics show it nicely.

I prefer High pressure fuel line clamps.

For some reason my PC seems cheap and inadequate.

Now whever someone tells me I spend too much money on my PC, I can direct them to your post.

Given the system you run, that's quite a compliment indeed....I saw the hard ocp pictures of you system recently....

[OverclockN']

What a badass rig, shadow001. Can't wait to see more of it.

You seem like a stand up guy too, you have a great attitude.

[fasedw]

Lots of money there', Sure looks killer.

[shadow001]

One last picture with the wiring more tidy and black paint touches where needed and showing more of the plumbing, but still more work ahead:

[Meteor_of_War]

I think that's the most beastly rig I've ever seen.

[Xion X2]

Still getting it together, but she's almost done.

Depending on how you view it, the main issue is that it builds up a fair amount of dust on the radiators and inside the case in a matter of a few months, so regular cleaning is required, but on the other hand, i know that a lot of air is moving thru the case in order to deposit that much dust in the first place, so it's actually working as intended.....

Is it possible to install intake fan filters? Since I started using a new chassis with filters I get way less dust build up inside as compared to my old one without filters. If not then I guess you can look at it as grizzly hair for your beast.

[Greasy]

Great work Shadow and Xion. I love seeing h2o builds come to life.

Xion, did you fab a custom mount for that rad or is that something that came with the case?

Thanks, Greasy.

I bought the mounting brackets from frozencpu. They're made by bitspower. XSPC has some, too. They attach through the fan mounting holes on the radiator and hold it nice and sturdy.

Thanks! I might have to try that out in a new build one day.
