Frosty's 780Ti X79 Overhaul

780ti tri sli :O insane this should be interesting

Oh it is, they're monster cards

150fps average at 1440P in BF4 enough for you?

They're great on air, but since getting back into the PC scene 'properly' as it were I can't wait to stick them under water. Also means with this loop 5Ghz is within my reach on the 4960.

MrF, can you please post some pics of the rads and their hose runs? I am interested in the 900D on my next build but no-one ever shows close up shots. Similar to the one above showing rad location and tube runs would be ideal. Don't worry about quality

Huge thanks and GL as always

I'm going to try update my build log today. Shows most of my tube runs in a 900D, including back of motherbaord tray.

MjFrosty is doing it in a different way to me so 2 different ways to look at.

Silent_Scone · 20 Dec 2013 at 10:03

I'm putting the run from the res to the top rad behind the tray

Might as well as there's plenty room! How many rads are you running Chase?

Sin_Chase · 20 Dec 2013 at 10:09

2 x 480s

Plenty for my hardware right now

Silent_Scone · 20 Dec 2013 at 11:15

Yep. I should have probably stopped there lol

Silent_Scone · 20 Dec 2013 at 14:21

Am I right in thinking if I wanted to run a shut off valve as a drain line from my bottom Rad fitting I could use these two?

Koolance QDC (Extreme Flow) No-Spill, Male for 13mm x 19mm (1/2in x 3/4in)

Koolance QDC (High Flow) Shutoff Nozzle Female, Threaded G 1/4

One is high flow the other extreme, does that mean they're incompatible?

Silent_Scone · 20 Dec 2013 at 14:38

Bought loads to experiment with TBH. Every rig should have them

No Michael, it means that the extreme will end up running at high flow, as the loops is only as good as its weakest link.

Cheers. Wasn't sure if it was a different fitment. I've not gone for them anyway

Kaapstad · 21 Dec 2013 at 05:21

Looking good

I think it was a good move to include the 240mm rad, an extra couple of degrees lower can sometimes make a nice difference to the GPUs.

ToxicTBag · 21 Dec 2013 at 07:09

This is looking mighty impressive well done MrFrosty look forward to the end result

Silent_Scone · 21 Dec 2013 at 14:26

Cheers guys. Kaap, yeah I thought whilst it's all apart and I'm in no rush, might as well take up all available room to save any doubts later...Been there too many times

Had a spare half hour so put the front rad in and did some more tubing. Taking the Elysium apart over Christmas, the main stalling point is doing the GPUs as want to make sure I don't get pulled away half way through.

That's the down side to doing 3 I suppose lol. Plus my screw driver set has gone missing...

...kids

I notice you are getting into the Xmas spirits

KWV sell some nice 10 and 20 year old brandy but I don't know if you can get it in this country.

systemerror · 21 Dec 2013 at 20:37

You can buy KWV in the UK, but If you like brandy I would look for a KWV diamond jubilee exceptional tasting brandy

Silent_Scone · 22 Dec 2013 at 09:02

Yeah the Mrs is vert big on tack I mean Christmas

Gregster · 22 Dec 2013 at 11:38

Silent_Scone · 22 Dec 2013 at 12:30
