"Q3DM6" Tribute to the old days

Sup been really busy lately. Managed to get a steal on a ek block for my titan. btw.. This titan will be a dx12 experiment. As you all may know dx12 is bringing a lot of goodies to the table(so they say) Being able to use AFR and this whole talk about VRAM pool. I figured this would be the perfect time to get on bored. So my plan WAS to do SLI with 980ti's but.... I have a feeling Nvidia will refresh soon due to the nano coming out and.. well the talk about the dx12 score in AoS. Anyways haven't been able to do a whole lot with this build lately so it's collecting dust. Just put a order in so more to come soon.

k so got some stuff back..


Really been thinking a lot about what direction to go. I never intended to throw money at this but that's what is happening lol... I haven't even gotten into getting the gpus figured out and I am already thinking about custom sleeves.. gonna have to save up some more. Something tells me to wait atleast til christmas time.. Surely there will be a refresh on gpus or some good deals.

i'm sure if you watch carefully could probably snag a fury x or 980ti for 550

unless of course you're going with old/low end hardware for the tribute?

I wish could find a titan x hydrocopper or ti hc. Especially for that price, I need two. The hydrocoppers are looking sexy(ek fc). If only.. but if I get a good enough deal then thinking csq fc ek.

get a 980ti hydrocopper silly not a titan. though buying a normal card and block is usually a little cheaper and you can choose from more styles.
I know that the Furyx has some awesone cooling options i just saw one that had active backplate cooling i bet that thing overclocks like mad.

Yes the fury x has a very sexy csq block from ek. The ti hc is 800 new, so if I can find a steal on a used one or even better two then I'll be on it asap.

Decided to try a few different things. Not sure if it will stay. Found a good deal on a titan x hc, waiting on that to start seeing what to do up top. At this point not sure if I will keep my old titan.. but I do want to experiment and run tests to see if certain situations can improve as dx12 rolls out with games. AFR, Direct Multi-connect, AA and Post Processing.. Vram? Physx? I'll see what's going on with that. Probably will end up selling the old titan and just getting another titan x hc. eh... I know a lot of people like to do perfect 90 degree stuff but me It looks fine but I like doing things that are against the norm and that includes not using the sli waterblock bridges. More to come
