Quad-SLI ?

Should of sold off your IB and mobo and gotten a high end X79 board and 3930K.

Alright guy's,

I bought the Asus P8Z77 WS

I installed this last night.

End result. ( From Cell )

You see I have cables ready for the next two cards. I had to buy one standard power cable that splits into a 2x PCIe 8 plug.

Things to do.

1. Install 2x EVGA GTX 680 Classified's when the arrive.
2. return the sound card , as I am within my return date.
3. buy a power supply that supports 8, PCIe 8 connectors, and that supports the power needs.

Be sure to plug the molex connector into the motherboard or you may have problems with your 24pin power connector overheating.

Ordered a LEPA G Series G1600-MA PSU.

Ok all. Here it is! My Fingers still hurt from installing it all. 😀

Spec's are in my SIG.

Nice!

If you need good sound you could consider an external USB sound card- it is what my brother uses.

I replaced my 3570k with a 3930k, and my 1155 motherboard with a ASUS Rampage IV Extreme motherboard.

I also replaced my AIO water cooler with a Thermaltake CLW0217 Water 2.0 Extreme/All-In-One Liquid Cooling System.

Spec's are in my Sig, Using five 140mm Fractal Case Fan's. And a 140mm Silverstone Case fan on the side door for intake.

I have six ssd's in raid in a Thermaltake MAX-1562 5.25 HDD bay, as you can see this opened up my case.

I have to say , I am very happy with this rig!

Comments welcome!

There is just not enough room between the sockets. Even those big E-ATX mainboards for Quad-SLI will only fit 4 dual slot graphic cards but you won't be able to put your sound card in between.

Besides Quad-SLI only brings minor performance improvements if at all, compared to Tri or Dual-SLI. I would have stayed with a Dual or Tri-SLI setup with the GTX 680 or two GTX 690 or two or three Titans...although that's overkill as well ;-)

Yep, Agree. GO Tri
