Congratulations! What radiators do you have? 2x480? Tell us something about temps under load.

Hope Otoy will do something with 900 series (mine rig reaches almost 200 in DL)

yeah, their build quality is just second to none! & their loops are so clean (minimal distance, straight to point!).
All I dislike is those disco lights =DDD but yeah, that's impressive..

& for performance, well, let's hope for the best..otherwise jumping on dual or quad Z's will be a way to go!
today noticed they cut prices in half!!! anyOne want custom build? I'd love to help =p

@Smicha

The heat exchangers are this: EK 420 (3x140mm) + EK 480 (4x120mm)
the temps under load have peaked at 43 C
we are going to give it some time before we start overclocking. What program do you use to OC?

Your benchmarks are insanely awesome! I am really praying that the 980s will pay off in the long run... :?

@ Glimpse
Yeah those lights are pretty obnoxious! but we thought what the heck lets have some fun and trick it out! Its funny now everyone in the office stops by to gaze at it :)

I'm using MSI Afterburn, it has great set of settings and HUDs for monitoring temperature in system tray + it has nice little feature called "group similar GPUs" so if you have all same GFX cards you can overclock them all at once :)

Just MSI afterburner

Its perfect for overclocking and monitoring temps and activity of both gpu and cpu. I am sending the screenshot of how I monitor temps (1st column), activity (2nd column), and vram usage (3rd column). Each line is another gpu. Last value (29) is cpu temp.
