Haha, that is so powerful, it's incredible. Not sure what motherboard that was, but that's even better than the 4GPU 2 Xeon E5 I was talking about!

 

[Turb0Yoda]

Apparently Linus did something with 7 GPUs in one system? All water cooled Fury X's, not sure, I wasn't watching it, a friend was telling me. Basically, he was using Virtual Machines...

 

[turkey3_scratch]

Yes it was 7 Fury Nanos. He had 7 displays, one display he was gaming @100FPS, and the other 6 displays were still running Unigine Valley!

I had my go at meme creation the other day.

How is that possible? I have a lot of questions about this. Like what kind of PSU would it take? And how could you fit 7 graphics cards on a motherbaoard?

 

[turkey3_scratch]

It uses the EVGA 1600W T2. Apparently this motherboard has 7 PCIe slots. Did you watch the video? It's pretty awesome. It's probably a board targeted perhaps at major rendering? I mean, dual Xeon board with 7 PCIe slots. Targeted at the most professional graphic designers, or in this case gamers.

I don't think all the GPUs would run at x16 though. Although I'm pretty sure most games don't even use up all of x8

It was an Asus Workstation board. I forget the exact model, but its 4-500 on newegg.

my firestrike run with my new 980ti

compared to my 780 the graphics score went up over 50%

nice. im going to let it loop valley for a couple hours to test stock stability.

Im so happy season 22 of Top gear is on netflix!!

thought I'd post the finished, for now, (Still waiting on getting a PSU cover, individually sleeved black/red cable set, decorative inside and top plates, possibly different fans and some modified feet), so yeah, I guess it's not finished, but it's finished for now and it's up and running, pics of my Define S build. Also waiting on a front emblem to replace the temporary G1 Gaming badge that's on the front panel. It's going to be the new style Superman "S" logo from Man of Steel, not the old style one.

I figured it was fitting. It's a Define "S", "S"kylake and fairly Super build, all things considered, so it's getting named Kal-El. Ok, so it's kind of nerdy, but what the hell. I like Superman, and it fits. No, I'm not painting the black parts blue, just to make it fit the scheme better. That's just going too far.

It will also get a better routing and cable management job, once I have the cable sets, but it's damn hard to route those stock cables since they're so thick, plus, with all the regular cables, plus five fans including the cooler, and four drives, it's fairly clean now all things considered. Still, the back could be a lot better so I'll work on that once I get the other cables. Whew. Glad I can take a break from this for a little while at least. It's fun, but it can wear on you after a while.

And yes, it's a Gigabyte Z170x-Gaming 5. I have to admit, the BIOS IS a little clunky compared to some others I've worked with, but it's workable. Still trying to find out if these 4 pin fan headers will control 3 pin fans through the bios so I know if I'm going to get the red/black Aerocool DS fans or not. Otherwise, I'll just stick with the Noctuas I colored as they turned out "ok", but I think the DS fans will just look much better and they have exceptionally good reviews and specs, for fans that aren't made by a company that starts with an N.

I'll also be posting a step by step full build log once I get the other parts done. Just 'cause. I mean, why wouldn't I, right? Heh.

 

[Mirakledba]

Dark - That looks amazing! I think the cable management is fine. Love the Black and red! Great job.

I was thinking, if i were to upgrade my PC, what would you guys say I add/change? I was thinking a 980TI, another 8GB of ram, 256GB SSD, and some fans but would the CPU need changing?

That is pretty sweet looking. What's the rest of the component specs? What GPU and CPU cooler did you use?

Thats what it says his equipment is...Idk if that i the same PC but its the same case ! xD

 

[Turb0Yoda]

Same specs. It checks out visually..

Im so happy season 22 of Top gear is on netflix!!

It was a great season! Looking forward to their future with Amazon.

Just started watching season 22 Same cant wait. And the new top gear is having issues cause the host cant talk and drive at the same time...lmao

 

[tiny voices]

New top gear won't make it one season without the old hosts. It'll crash and burn.

The new show with Jeremy, James, and Richard will be awesome.

Exactly... Hopefully there will be some Stig... I doubt it, because whomever he is still is under BBC so....

 

[tiny voices]

They can have a professional driver do everything the stig does, they just cannot call him 'Stig' as the name is owned by BBC.

Also, the current Stig is Gordon Shedden. It's not really that much of a secret. Before him it was Ben Collins.

 

[Mirakledba]

Tiny - THANK YOU FOR TELLING ME WHO THE STIG IS 😀 Yeah new top gear will be trash. Im glad you like the 3 goons...i thought you wouldnt for some reason lol. When does the amazon one release?

 

[Turb0Yoda]

I mean for symbolic reasons...
