so, now it's time to put those under water.. =DDD rough math would lead to ..12 x 110 ~> 1320???.. =DDD

Hello all,
Just an update on my current setup, I didn't post it here, so here it is:

This is so beautiful....

@Notiusweb...man, that's something!!! 6 Z's on one PC.......
PPP? (Photos Pretty Please?)

[Bulwerk]

Yes photos of your rig please! This is very interesting. Well done!

Hello all! Here you go:

3 Titan Z on USB 3.0 Risers

3 Titan Z on Amfeltec Cluster

Motherboard - in tower with Titan X

Forgot, I hadn't posted those here. I was following 2 forums on the subject of multiple GPU rigs, here was the other forum:
viewtopic.php?f=40&t=43597&hilit=notiusweb&start=240

Basically, a standard desktop formation, with cabling out back of the tower to the Z's. 2 of the Z's are factory overclock, rest are stock speed.

ASRock was very helpful in getting me updated BIOSes, at one point they had given me 3 modifications to try within 2 weeks. And, Tutor, in this forum, gave a lot of detailed insight and help into how to push the rig further.

What would converting this to water-cooled involve...could it be done, they are not the hydro-copper.

Thanx for sharing.

Yes, it can be done; you can remove the stock cooler and add a waterblock.
I am about to transform triple aircooled Titan Z to watercooled cards

I am about to transform triple aircooled Titan Z to watercooled cards

Wow, Awesome!!!
Definitely excited to see the performance gains.

Btw, anyone- How much power do water units need?

Here is my Frankenstein watercooling progress. Thanks for all the knowledge you guys shared in rappet's post, seriously awesome.
In my case I am only attempting to watercool the Z's, not the mobo and primary Titan X.
3 Z's down, 3 to go...(Have a 2nd Aquaduct 720 awaiting the Amfeltec-ians...)

Phantom of the Octane

Aquaduct 720 Mark V

Swiftech Komodo Titan Z Waterblock, currently Series tubing (Swiftech SLI connectors), facing backplate-down, GPUs remain connected via USB 3.0 Risers

Aquaduct 720 after getting hammered by Octane in extended runs, purpled lights. (lights are aqua blue, then get closer to red as water temp rises)

The Water-cooled Z's and the Air-cooled on the Amfeltec.

Lights off reprise...Komodos come installed with green, but also come with with blue and red waterblock lights, I didn't bother changing...yet

The Aquaduct is very quiet when maxed, almost makes you wonder if its working until you feel the radiated heat blasting out...
Head to head there really is minor performance advantage from the water (6 vs 6 GPU races). But when overclocked, the air cooled Amfeltec lags behind the water-cooled in extended runs as it has to cut itself at its temp limit, where the water cooled keep on rolling.)
As an example, at UHD (3840 x 2160), with a 16,000 sample count, the Amfeltec progressively climbs towards 82-83, the water-cooled stay at 40-50, and come darting back to 30-something when done. It is a sight to behold, pretty cool (pun intended...)

wow =) thanks for some much info =) nice to hear some info helped You too!

Hello Notiusweb,
Is that 1,197.89 OctaneBench score for 6 Titan Zs for your system? If so, congratulations!
