EVGA Experiments With 4-Way Fermi GTX 480 SLI

[siman]

HAY MAN YOUR COMPUTER IS ON FIRE
no its just my new graphics cards
THE THING IS GLOWING RED DUDE
normal operation dont worry i have enough fans
SHUT IT OFF ITS MAKING MY LIGHTS DIM
....continues around the block

[citation][nom]shadow703793[/nom]Never mind the benchs, what are the temps?!?!? That thing doesn't even look like it's water cooled even....[/citation]
They have it running in open air and not enough angle to see if any fans are running on it. Also there is a water-cooling rig showing in the background which I assume is for the X58 chips because of the loading on them to run this and the heat from the fermi cards impinging on the board.

Wow. That puts my new Weber Genesis to shame. My grill has only 3 burners.....this thing got 4.

 

[aford10]

OMG, that's a lot of $$.

Overkill much?

marco,,,, im pretty sure it an evga x58 classified board. i want one!!!! the new one out (sr-2) holds 2 cpu,s

 

[xenol]

I'm wondering if this will even run on one standard home socket.

 

[hot74rod2003]

i know a 1600 wt psu comes with 2 cords.. 1 for a 220 line,lmao

 

[Regulas]

What processor paired with them, Core I7 extreme? Too bad there were no benchmarks results.

 

[KT_WASP]

Totally impractical...

Also, look at the motherboard (look more closely at newegg) and you'll see almost every single internal I/O port is located at the bottom edge of the board, along with all the special features like the on board pwr/rst buttons, clear cmos button and the digital diagnostic readout.

Adding that last card covers up every single on of those connections... looking at the pictures, I don't see how you would fit any of the connections with their respective plastic plug ends... It might fit, but just barley and there would be some precarious bending of wires and pins to do it .. what a nightmare build that beast would be indeed.

 

[hot74rod2003]

hey it wouldnt be an easy task to to nail megan fox either ,but it would sure be worth it :]

 

[nate007]

This is so stupid.
This is nothing more then a PR stunt. You'd have to be really an idiot to want something like this.

I must say though , so really funny comments on this. At the end of the day that is what it is all about.... making jokes.

This is one big A$$ joke.

The temperatures would be atrocious. These things are already hot, now four of them in one setting?

Even with liquid cooling..... a GTX480 from HardwareLabs (hehe, just realized the names match) can do what, 1600watts of dissipation at ten degrees delta T, with fans at 2600rpm? And the Fermi cards are hotter than the 5870, so the 5870 had what, 500 watts to dissipate at full load?

You need dual quad rads to keep 4 GF100 cards at decent temps then. With screaming fast fans.

Wow, just wow.

HAHAHAHAHA, I approve this post.

in other news, electronic graphics card maker investing in nuclear power stations

 

[kdashjl]

somebody say "hot"

 

[RazberyBandit]

So this is how CyberPower tests their PSU's...

 

[JonnyDough]

I could go for this but...

....I actually like the environment, and I'd prefer to buy a new car with that money.

 

[madass]

Anyone noticed that-
a) the GPU's are OUTSIDE the acse. Don't think those warranties cover damage from melting metal...
b) theres a 1.2KW psu for the GPU's ALONE. Fish! An 900 watter is enough to run an i5 with two 5970's and all the knick knacks of the average machine....

Technology is advancing jesus christ. Before we made heaters that just heated. Now we make heaters that also make blue screens.

 

[rooket]

All this effort just to boost Crysis by another 5-10fps.

 

[nforce4max]

Sweet if 3 Grillforce100s weren't enough try 4 and play molten Crysis.

 

[screechy]

Is a heatsgield included with this setup?

 

[zachary k]

a whole new level in "omg, why would you ever need that much power", hope you like huge power bills.

Perfect for heating a building!
