Watercooled octane render workstation TITAN+3x 780 6GB

Man that case is huge =)
& even after some components it seems almost empty =DDD

anyway, why bay res? doesn't it make audible vibrations? =)

now that respectable temps 40C, with these numbers..

ghm, I guess You hit the ceiling on GPU before power becomes an issue,
or might just be false reading from a card - that happens sometimes =)

Glimpse,

The two pumps with the dual top (without the reservoir, as you see) are mounted to a 5.25 bay. They fit there perfectly well and the EK mounted system is designed to place the dual top just there. The mounting mechanism is equipped with four rubber mounting screws that prevent from transferring vibrations to a chassis. Here you see them - between the top and the mounting plate.

And imagine that these two D5 pumps were primarily set to their max level (5) but now they are set to 2.5 and water is circulating like crazy and pumps are inaudible. I have to put my ear next to them to hear any noise.

Glimpse,

If you are there .... stay tuned. Next photos are especially for you. This thing is so breathtaking...

When I opened the box I took so much air in lungs and said slowly "oooooooooooooooooooooooo".

When I was wiring the money for it I thought to myself "Man, why don't you get something cheaper". Now, there is only one radiator company for me

AQUACOMPUTER

Airplex modularity system 480 mm, copper fins, one circuit, stainless steel side panels.

Now that's a Beauty, Radiator from capital R.. & I don'y think there are any better looking and/or performing rads..
(& yeah, it's not the cheapest one..but on low RPM it has no competition..- simply the best thing could be made =)

P.S. for those who don't know - these rads has extra feet You can order if You don't have space in case for rad =)
Pluss You can get combo with something like D5 mounted into rad housing, so it's perfect solution without making too much space & extra unnecessary fittings =) simply grab, plug to GPU water block & ready to go!

Great build and nice chose of STRIXes. Asus did great job on those 780 OC 6GB cards even on air cooling mine don't go over 79C and they are very very fast in Octane.

Lewis,

Temps around 70-80 are only for 1 or 2 asus strix mounted - if there is more than one slot space between they have enough air to breath and they don't get heat from each other. I tested two of them on air with no space between them (same as for 4xGPUs spacing) and the upper one got hot so quickly to 80C, fan was set to 100%, and core clocks started to go lower and lower to about 800mhz. So yes - if you have one or two of them with space between them they are fine. But there is no way to get them cool for 4xGPU config. But on water they are showing their full power - 1250mhz on core and and 7000mhz easily, at 40C.

What is curious - MSI afterburner says - 70 % power usage at full load while rendering in Octane - anyone can tell me why?

Yes i know, I also have 3 of the ASUS 780 STRIX GPUs for several months by now and 1 MSI 760 4GB (for 3 displays) and my MB has 7 PCI-E slots so i gave them space to breathe with 1 slot empty in between .

..keep looking at this rad & man it's a beauty =) then this question came to mind..So You haven't hooked it in the loop (is the loop running on Your old one)? if so, then what are the temps going to be when it will be in? =DDD..
