Nvidia should send you the fourth one complementary, you're responsible for half their business in the Northern Hemisphere 🙂
 
if i had that much money to waste it wouldnt be on graphics cards.

You need to work on your imagination skills

I say F-that

What's this ego thing some people have water cooling? Did it in 2005 and realized I upgrade far too quickly to make the small improvement worth it. Yesterdays water cooled setup will always get trounced by todays air cooled component. Maybe I'm just getting old.

I have setups that are utterly unsustainable without liquid cooling.

With the air cooled cards your GPU temps are in the 80s loaded.
With (proper) liquid cooling your GPU temps are in the 30s loaded.

It's that simple.

Loaded = 24/7 running compute (very heavy load) not gaming or benchmarking.

With multiple cards you have more noise and higher temperatures. If you don't require heavy continuous loading the stock cooler may suffice. It's also likely to throttle especially if you want to tap into unused power via special bios or other hardware modifications.

agreed. however, i still water cool my CPU. with all the close loop systems out there for really cheap, it's kind of silly to go with a high-end air cooler over water these days. you also get brackets for every socket, and can get a new bracket direct from mfg if a new one comes out. 🙂

If I had those requirements, then sure, I'd water it up.

I don't have those requirements and likely never will. The stock air cooler was designed around my requirements.

I'd be running a true high end air cooler on my CPU instead of the closed looped system I have now. The ASRock Extreme11's tight arrangement prohibited that from happening.
