The first order was done in December and then the months passed, now finally after spending last wednesday building and installing windows etc the machine is up running. This is the cleanest and quietest PC I've ever made. The Phanteks Eclipse P600S TG is just a phenomenal case to build in. The only thing I've kept from the old X99 i7 6950X setup are the graphics cards, since they are still on top of their game. My 12 year old trusty and still fully functional ThermalTake Toughpower 1500w finally retired also, but still runs in my wifes new workstation (my old rig). I am super impressed with the AIO cooler, the PC is so darn quiet in idle if it weren't for some of the LEDs I would doubt it was even turned on. Everything is running stock on the CPU and no PBO. Only the graphics cards retain their old OC settings.

Cinebench R15 = 3950 Cinebench R20 = 9000 3Dmark Fire Strike overall score = 36700 3Dmark Fire Strike Extreme overall score = 27200 3Dmark Fire Strike Ultra overall score = 15600 3Dmark Time Spy overall score = 23100 3Dmark Time Spy Extreme overall score = 12600 3Dmark Port Royal = 17800 Compared to my old setup I lost about 200points in Port Royal, which is due to the fact that my old motherboard was with 2 slot spacing between the graphics cards, whereas now there is only 1 slot spacing which translates into more heat and a bit lower boost clock. Nevertheless it is a trade off I am willing to make for this silent PC for normal desktop usage.
nice work, wish i had one of those gfx, nvm two I remember you having triple or was it quad sli, what happened to that?
Thank you Yea that is right I used to run 3-way SLi, but that pretty much ended with Pascal when Nvidia dropped triple and quad SLi. So I went back to two cards. I am not sure if I will go Nvlink SLi again eventhough the support is better than ever before. The price/performance ratio is just getting worse per generation unfortunately.
Yeah this gen was realy pricey, I heard once newer will somewhat turn to old Pascal prices btw great benchmarks scores!
Hope you enjoy your rig but supporting Nvidia at this point and seeing it here made my stomach turn. Nobody should be handing them money. Btw I was Green Team all my life but I have had enough of their garbage with pricing and bringing out card that are not needed. As for the rest I love all the black but as for the RGB just speaking for me I prefer the ability to have it all match. Are you able with what you have there to do that? Also do you really just like a mish mosh of colors? Anyway enjoy like I said but damn you for buying Nvidia! LOL!
Very nice rig. It should last you a long time to come. AMD isn't much better. Yeah they have great pricing and good performance but their drivers have been hit or miss. Sometimes they are good and other times they are not. I will continue to purchase Nvidia because of their performance and solid drivers. Also it's the OP's money he can purchase whatever he wants. Also stop trying to speak for everyone. If they want to purchase Nvidia cards let them be.
