don't mean to critique but wouldn't the third v card be the warmest in that loop seeing it goes from cool into first gpu, warm into 2nd gpu, and probably warmer out the third...

I already asked this and he already answered. 🙂
 
Pfff. No SLC Intel SSD's in a RAID 10 array? Weaksauce.

Seriously though, that's just gorgeous. Do you have any pictures of your desk area? I'm curious.
 
Actually I just ordered a Intel® X25-M 80GB SSD from Intel yesterday...It will be interesting to see if it is faster than two velociraptors in RAID 0

I bet it's one of the fastest desktops on the planet! It must be nice to be rich. My system is a little long-in-the-tooth but it gets the job done. Congrats!:thumbsup:
 
Thanks for all the nice comments from everyone....

I am continuing to tweak the system and will post some updated benchmarks over the next few days...Trying to get over the 36K mark in 3D mark Vantage...I will also be picking up a copy of GTA IV and running some benchmarks..

what!?!? no SSD's? 😀

LOL - just kidding! Awesome rig! Do the video cards get hotter as the fluid passes each core?

Actually I just a Intel® X25-M 80GB SSD from Intel.....

Suprisingly...no the cards are are within 1-2C of each other...and card 1 is usually the hottest...

You have to work a lot to afford that rig.

Someone's got to keep the economy rolling. 😛
 
At the OP, that's awesome! Your rig spanks mine. I'm rocking overclocked GTX 260 Tri-SLi here on a 3.91GHz air cooled 920. Some early results-

There's 06 @ 1920x on my rig, 21874

I just put my old 192SP GTX 260 in with the two 216s.

Here's my first try with Vantage in Tri-SLi, default bench settings, P30133-

Currently my cards are @ 711|2300 in Tri-SLi. Enjoy your toys! I know you will. 🙂

Even better. If he uses 3 GPU clients, and the CPU client, he could be pushing about 27000 PPD. Maybe more. Those O/C'd GTX280's can push about 8000 PPD each, and I have not a clue what the i7 965 @ 4.25GHz can do. I'm totally guessing 3k PPD.
 
Hey, what do you get in Vantage with the Extreme profile? Earlier today I got something like x14500 with three aircooled GTX 280 (615MHz core) on a stock clocked Core i7 965. I also got a higher number than that on some other cards.
 
All I did was disable HT in the BIOS and my 06 score @ 1920x shot up to 24315.

http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm06=9211256

There's not much difference @ 1280x though, only 24916

http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm06=9211336

CPU score fell and graphics went up.

Nice bump to DDR3!
No voltage bumps to 280's through bios, just oc'ing using Precision? If so, very nice..
