Hello,

I'm looking in to buying an external multi GPU enclosure to put 4x 980Ti's.

I am looking for one that is housed in a case and don't really want to start the hassle of building my own. The two I like are:

http://www.netstor.com.tw/product_info. ... 4287237937
No. of Slots 4* PCI Express 3.0 x8 (x16 connector)


https://www.onestopsystems.com/product/ ... e-x8-slots
Slots Eight PCIe x8 Gen3


Does anyone have an opinion or any experience using them. From what I can see they both have 8x PCI and relatively similar power supply although one is a dual 550.

You're help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Good day,

I own Netstor turbobox & would choose it over other option for one reason. It has slightly bigger gaps between cards meaning that cooling is better. in case of Your cards (980tis) You can get 130+ with good airflow or bellow 110 of card gets thermal throttled, thus having better ventilated case do help. looking to the future it makes sense as well since most of first wave 2080tis seems to be equipped with non blower style coolers that might end up posing problems in close proximity to other cards (that's why nvidia do not have dual slot SLI bridge, just triple or quad slot).

in my case I used netstor with 4x 1080ti scoring 200+ in OctaneBench per GPU & even if that was a nit expensive but well worth the investment based on performance You get.

Sinc.

Hi, I was looking at the Nestor, but I’m having a hard time looking for a place that sells them? I’m based in Melbourne as well.

one user was selling those used, if You would be interested I can try to find a post here on forums (just not sure if he has those still =)

That would be great! Are they any other more accessible alternatives? I’ve been trying to get a gpu expansion for a while but I’m not really an expert when it comes to this.

I think this type of expansion device pretty expensive BTW.
