This looks nice.
I am still fighting with myself.
290. 780. 290. 780.
Can't decide.
Oh, and for the record it will be x3 Xfire/SLI.
Seeing how many choices you had and how many attempts to make it work... Well, I am very afraid
I am glad it finally works for you.

Welp looks like the PSU or motherboard is not up to crossfire.
All I get are crashes and full screen artifacts when I run the cards in crossfire.
Ive tested them individually and it seems either the mobo is at fault or the PSU.

I hope you are not mining with those cards.
I think rjk or Gibbo said they are no good for that.

They dont even work together atm because of faulty board/psu -_-.
No these are not the ones he said are not good for mining.

What other hiccups have you had? I ask as I saw you asking about the 6gb 780's (that's how I ended up here) and wondered what's going on as I'm considering either a 6gb Nv card or a 290x with the plan of adding a second card in the future.
I did my first build around 18 months ago which was on air (although I've since added an all-in-one for the cpu) and I'm considering making this one my first water loop build, probably in this case which I would have had for the first build in if it had been around when I built it (I used Corsair's C70).
So why the change of plan's was it not living up to your expectations?

The change of plan bud?
You mean going from 780ti to 290's?
I just got those cards refunded and I ordered a EVGA 780ti now and the waterblock so I can finally finish this build haha!

Hi,
Why did you move back and why not wait on the 6gb ti's?
That last bit's probably been answered by the long delay, but I'm interested in what was wrong with the 290's. I almost ordered the first 6gb 780 but seeing as EVGA are looking at a 6gb ti release I want to wait and see what they offer before making a final choice on the card and brand. I've got to wait on devils canyon anyway. My current build uses a 4770k and a 780 Classified.

Well the two 290's basically never worked in my system without crashing and that was the main reason.
I had a 290x in the beginning of the build with came DOA too. The only card ive had NO issue with is the 780 Ti I had somewhere inbetween which was amazing and so now im going back to it after waiting to be credit for the 290's
Got myself a Evga 780ti superclocked
