in sli u only get the memory from 1 card not both added together

+1

For 2 cards in sli you only need 2gbs per GPU as they run out of GPU muscle before they reach the 2gbs limit. For 3 or more cards 4gbs per GPU is required as there is more GPU muscle there to allow higher settings.

Ok, I hate the Switch 810 for a start only 3 drive bays! Ha! I'd just be able to fit in my Blu Ray and the reservoir. Can someone tell me what I'd have to mod on the 800D???
Should I go with the Cosmos II?

MarkJr · 2 Dec 2012 at 20:29

Ok, will someone tell me if it's worth buying a pre-built one somewhere else?

MarkJr · 2 Dec 2012 at 20:43

Does anyone know any cases that I don't have to mod to be able to put watercooling in?

-_- Hate it when people think I be trollin'...

Tonester0011 · 2 Dec 2012 at 23:57

To be fair, you've made about 100 threads...each one changing nearly every aspect of your build. I wouldn't be surprised if you were actually doing this for free postage.

If you're genuinely building a tidy rig, then i apologise.

Edit: If you're serious about a watercooling rig that needs *no* modding...get yourself a Caselabs TH10.

Kaapstad · 3 Dec 2012 at 00:21

I think the best move would be for the OP to talk to the people at ocuk and explain his needs. Then let them spec and build the system for him.

MarkJr · 3 Dec 2012 at 00:35

Would the Xigmatek Asylum suit my needs? Kaapstad, thanks for the suggestion, I'll give them a ring tomorrow..

Tonester0011 · 3 Dec 2012 at 00:40

Did you even look at the case?
It's the size of Belgium...When an SR-X is mounted in it it looks like an ITX.

Edit: You changed your post...makes me look like a right douche.

MarkJr · 3 Dec 2012 at 01:03

Ok, you guys know the Switch 810, can you link me to a Rad that will fit in the top, but I won't have to move anything from the top?

Spot on Kaap. If he is serious, that is the best advice. I find it hard to believe that someone will order all these parts when they don't have a clue about how to put it together at all. We all start somewhere but this is a bit of a serious first time build.

He was asking in another thread could someone cut the pipes to size for him and in the GPU thread, he said he was getting 2*680's.

Sorry if you are not trolling OP but as I said, I will believe this when I see pics/invoice.
