Topic: Featured System of the Month Posted: 11 Apr 2011 at 9:43pm |
We're going to start a weekly thread where we post the most amazing elite builds by our customers here at our facility.
Let's kick things off with a high-end TEC liquid chilled system pumping below 0'C freezing fluid on the CPU with a liquid cooling configuration of two GTX 590's in Quad-SLI.  By the way, you'll notice we modified the Corsair 800D to fit two power supplies as well.

We can get the clock rates close, but, not up to the GTX 580s.

To my knowledge, SLI only supports 4 GPU's so you can't go above 2 590's.

your gonna hear mixed opinions but sli is finicky enough waiting for driver support etc. Having 2 gpu's on one card is even more of a headache. Id sooner go 3 580's then 2 590's. Best bang for ur buck and something you can actually feel like u didnt waste ur money is 2 570's in sli

looking at all the fans reminded me, is getting the fan upgrade a good idea, or are they to loud? (blue performance fans)

@Vaude,
The LED fans we use are performance fans which push a ton of airflow (high CFM). They are noisy compared to stock fans because of that.

have you guys tried looking up any other fans besides those? I'm looking to some of Bitfenix's Spectre's when I eventually swap to a RV03, they appear to have an excellent CFM to noise ratio, as well as coming in black, white, and LEDs in 4 colors. http://www.frozencpu.com/search.html?mv_profile=keyword_search&mv_session_id=xdGFRDif&searchspec=Bitfenix+Spectre&go.x=0&go.y=0
