Sebastian, this is excellent, thanks for posting! I'm very interested in this build, it's almost exactly what I want to build.
Just a quick question about the power requirements.
I'm struggling to choose a PSU. I've been leaning towards the EVGA 1600w P2, but I keep seeing 4xGPU builds with the Corsair AX1200 or other 1200w PSUs. I'm amazed to see that your build only draws 800w. Is that with it OC'd, with all GPU's under full load?
Would this indicate that a 1200w is definitely adequate?

1200W is fine. I just chosen SuperFLower 1600 Titanium (or rebranded supernova EVGA Supernova T2 1600) because it is passive up to certain power draw and extremely quiet. And the price difference is about 50EUR. In one build I used AX1500i and it has so poor cables and quality seems to be not that great, although pricey.

OC shall not be more than 900-950W but please keep in mind that this is power draw under Octane usage, not gaming which would be much higher.

Smicha,

Exquisite build. It's breathlessly, magnificently powerful and beautiful.
Because I have 180+ GPU processers in 16 tweaked/multiOS systems - Character limit prevents detailed stats.

Well i just got the machine from Poland to Israel few days ago, and this shit is just freaking amazing.
The build is super professional, performance are freaking crazy, cables, case, assembling and design are something i never saw before.

This is the second machine i'm ordering from Sebastian and his work and service are just behind any expectation.
Filling the water loops, explanation about the machine and more information was delivered to me in 12 explanatory videos.

I will write about it all more in detail soon on the forum but for now, Thank you so much Sebastian!

I'm going to render some stuff :D
