4K with 3gig is possible, and work fine, despite a lot of people write (4g of use are very very very rare...) but the real question is "does the 780 can handle descently the 4K" i would say it's a bit at the limit... but with 780 you can already do a lot few bellow. about watercool the GPUs heat goes up only and are pushed this way and the 780 doesn't heat a lot even in OC... exept for silence i don't think it is usefull. this rig is nice and mobile, everything is logical, i like it.
Added a photo for mr. sourpuss here. Oh and here here and here to see the chassis evolve and running. And on the reservoir, not everybody uses one, define tubing, pre-fill and close the loop. Now eat them ... :nerd:
yes most of the time the reservoir is used as decanter... it's as used in track car if you check your coolant level and a part remove presure (tap cap or valve) you can remove coolant reservoir. btw my computer "reservoir" is 15cm of 10/13 tube with fillport on top when it goes down i add few and it's ok... never have problem on my WC since many many years (on other hand pump and cooler unit are 5/6m away on other room... lot of fluid in tube already).
the reservoir ? show us the reservoir.. oh and your first pictures failed bad because what I wrote could well of been true from those images. Ok I eat, good job there I take it all back. but you should of just posted them images because from the images provided I could of been right. Nice job indeed, I all ways say anything off the shelf don't belong on rig of the mth and yours isn't like that, good job.
You don't need a reservoir for watercooling, hence those AIO coolers don't use them. Not sure why you thought he would post a rig of the month that isn't a real build, think next time, he knows what he's doing. Not looking so clever, cleverman:nerd:....:stewpid: Take that last part as tongue in cheek.
I was thinking the exact opposite. I only checked out all 4 pages waiting to see what it looked like with the front and rear shrouds on, only to find out that there weren't any. (Or did I miss them?) It just looks like a small rig, with three GPU's that is almost finished. Not sure why ROTM, but congrats to him. +1
If your renderer supports CUDA/OpenCL you want to render on GPUs. A single high-end GPU generally trashes any CPU around. 3 of those is quite ridiculous. Not to mention multi-GPU scaling is pretty much perfect and you don't even need similar video cards like CFX/SLI. You can throw in any cards you want. LE: This was referring to the fact that he said he's using the desktop as a render slave aswell.
