14 Fury GPUs?All in all, a very impressive build, oh and I think kaap is waiting for those fury x2 cards to come out and using 7 of those

He says one cpu but uses two 
excellent system though.. These would be great in places you would normal have meny systems like Internet Cafe etc
Only nano was possible for this type of build because Form factor and power consumption.

He says there wasn't a PSU powerful enough to power 7 Fury X's, couldn't he have hooked up two PSU's to one system?
Them monitors are gorgeous!!
There isn't really and I think he was trying to keep it with one psu; and things that people would sponsor
Nano is just a normal Fury X that throttles due to heat, because you can expect so much for a 1 fan cooler trying to cool a volcano
Is a weird beast, that by raising it's power limit (had 175W TDP set initially) and 7% the memory speed, is as fast as a 980Ti!!!!! at 4K!!!!!
(and before the Crimson drivers)

However everyone who has watercooled their Nano, without overclock, saw improvement on their performance.
Saying that, consumes less power than a Fury or a Fury X!!!!! and only 20W more than a 980 stock!!!!!!!
Go figure...
Possibly we have to look at this card more closely not only because is small. Personally going to grab one on Friday and since I cannot find an mATX or mITX X79 motherboard, sell the rest and start building a small watercooling system.
Linus inspired me to spend £1000 this week

Should do. Looking at where my Nano stacks up in the Firestrike bench thread, at like for like clocks it performs comparably to the Fury X's and pulls ahead when over clocked (for graphics score) compare to lower clocked Fury's
Having said that mine tops out at around 1085 Mhz as its limited compared to the amount of power its able to pull compared to the fury X, for which those seem to reach higher clock speeds.
Surprisingly the stock cooler on the Nano is actually very good and ramped up more then capable of maintaining over clocks without drops in core clock. Building a custom loop done so may be interesting to see if I can push the over clock further once there is no fan to power and what it will achieve then. Hopefully break 1100 Mhz

Consider this. Is £100 cheaper than the FuryX for same performance!!!!!
Lets hope they stay at £400 mark until Friday
I'm guessing aquacomputer didn't want to sponsor it, they have 7 slot bridges ready made
Come to think of it, I think Watercool do as well

The Aquacomputer is very sexy waterblock imho
Shame OCUK doesn't have any in stock

Did he say that the Nano throttles with it's stock cooler in a normal sized case?
Wasn't there a long winded argument on this forum about that?
I'm sure people were going to use them in small HTPC cases that were so small you couldn't fit a 980Ti in it but insisted they didn't or wouldn't throttle. What is the market for a card that will throttle in a case that small enough to make the Nano the best/only option?
Still, fun to see it done. Can't imagine why anyone would want to do this other than to show it can be done, which I think Linus pretty much says.
I wish they had gone into a little more detail about temperatures and stuff though. Running 7 GPUs and 2 huge Xeon CPUs on 2 x 360mm radiators (or were they 420mm?) makes me think they must've good enough but not great. I guess Nano's won't need much cooling, but those CPUs...
I'm probably more interested in the software used to run 7 VMs like that.

Mine throttles with the air cooler very slightly with the default fan profile, but the default fan profile is very quiet. Notch the fan up a bit and its fine.
