My Crazy 3 way SLI GPU/CPU Water Cooled Gaming PC Build - 3 GTX 780 (FINISHED page 4,5) (more Benchmarks pg 10)

Sure am glad i didn't sell these 580GTX cards! i am putting them both right back in and it is already back up and running. My son is gonna love it. He games on his laptop. And it's not a gaming laptop

The next two pictures...if you are going to tell me that i used too much Thermal paste im gonna tell you to GFY. (LOL). I put it on exactly the way the manual says to and i went out of my way to make super thin lines in this pattern. It spreads out on its own LOOKING like too much. It is NOT too much and it IS the correct pattern for these blocks. Had some know-it-alls tell me i did it wrong and that shit is annoying when i know i did it right. thanks in advance LOL

Well, here goes nothing...HOPING for the best. I have done lots of w/c setups but none personally this scary. I have never put water blocks on GPU's before. Just cpu's. I am now a vet!

Soldering up the wires from the fans to the power supply and also the SMD TM-1 on the front panel. I also soldered up leads for the OM-1 outputs as well as all 8 radiator fans.

the "foamy" water is just because it was freshly poured. Over time, with heat and flow, it won't be foamy any more. Actually, it isn't foamy now (sitting right here under my desk). I am posting from this PC Works great!

Got DVI?

it doesn't really fit in the same spot the other one did LOL - i am gonna have to move it and get longer DVI cords

anyway, i will post up benchmark results later. Right now i am trying to get all my programs back on and get up on some BF4

Top notch. I have the Corsair 650D case and love that thing. Is that 32GB of ram? I can't remember

So how loud is this beast with all those fans? Looks sick for sure though!

not loud at ALL. The fans are damn near silent. I can hear the water flowing through the tubes a little bit though. Its a TON of fluid and a ton of pump action jumping off It's pretty quiet though. Soothing

That's a big ass case! How's the temps?

forgot to mention....i put my old 2tb storage drive in the new tower because i have tons of stuff i use all the time on it. So that plus a new 3TB storage drive and the 1 TB SSD, i got about 6 TB to work with (internal). Of course i got externals out the ying-yang here too

cold. Not even budging. Its about 25 degree's colder then it was previously (according to before/after tests using Unigine Heaven benchmark)
