Back to Ai tweaker: CPU core volt. - my reads at above settings is 1.2V (tested for 3 days - stable), so one can input 1.2V or leave on auto - cpuz shows 1.2V constantly - some users report that for 4.5GHz 1.275V may be enough but this is dependent of how lucky you are on cpu quality.
CPU spread spectrum: disabled

MENU: advanced/cpu power manag. config.
enhanced intel...: disabled
turbo: enabled
c states : disabled

It's the fastest 4x980ti build - 570. With 7x980ti on Z10PE it might approach score 1000.

HOLY SHIT.

This is my machine, and this is the first time i'm seeing it :shock:

This is not a PC dude, this is pure art.

You are a genius Sebastian, thank you so much.

:shock: effing nice.

His snaps just keep getting sexier... smicha, what do you have, a Canon 5D? Nikon D750? I actually opened one in PS to check, but cam data stripped...

Yambo, I'm curious.. You have Super Flower Leadex in your current, and I thought smicha liked those too.. hows come you guys went EVGA this time? And why not just go full SSD? You really gonna sully that work of art with spinning drives?..

Thanks Yam. Hope it will serve you for good... until you'll switch for pascals :)
I'll do some more photo-shoot today in day lighting to show off its all construction. First post will be updated on bios settings for better 24/7 stability - might be handy for some users.

Nikon D610 (little update in the photos description). I must get an extra remote controller for controlling mirror up and longer exposure. I tried to keep ISO at 100-200 but in certain situation and f16 this would require over 1 min or much longer exposure.


Yes - you are right Frank - actually EVGA T2 and Superflower Titanium 1600W are exactly the same PSUs (T2 is just a re-branded SF, they even kept same cables) but I could not get SF until late march (there will be a major delivery then from Taiwan to EU). And T2 is around 50EUR more (don't know why). Anyway if SF is available I will always get it.

Icy dock and HDD is just for storage (6TB) but for system and working files there are 2 SSDs - 500GB + 1TB
