A couple of small updates here...
Firstly... out goes the sabertooth with its i3 and the dual chanel ram...
In comes the so1366 P6TD Deluxe with i7 920 at 4.92ghz bench stable (4.6ghz 24/7 happy) at a chilly -46 idle, -37 loaded.
As you can see here, (excuse poor images, these will be retaken with a better camera another day) a lovely set of Asus voltage tweak GTX 480s.
And here they are installed and looking pretty
I took receipt of another lovely toy today too, an MSI gtx480, so many thanks to OcUK on a fantastic price for that!
And a small vantage run (yes PPU is enabled) to have a smile over
All that is left is to now either fit the classi and drop in an 980X or to have a look into another motherboard which will most likely turn out to be the Rampage III Extreme.
When this motherboard is fitted a full set of Koolance water blocks and back plates will be fitted along to each of the three GTX480s that in turn shall be cooled by an externally mounted SR1 120.4 with 8x Enermax Cluster fans and an MCP355 with tube resevoir.
The build still has a way to go but for the time being 2x 480s that run 875/1750/4200 on air not topping 74c loaded make for excellent gaming and none competitive benching on the glory that is an 3008WFP
*updates to come shortly*

No condenation issues at all but all is insulated very nicely indeed.
I shall have a look for some pics showing some of the insulation used be it on the sabertooth or the p6T deluxe v2

An 980x most certainly is with an R3E if i cant get on with the E759 classi (which my 920 didnt like)

Geek porn! I love it.
I feel like one of the Mario brothers knowing how water-cooling works

would really like to see how you go about insulating please???
I'll have a look into pics for insulation and will report back. Sorrry about the late reply.
On a side note, going to be adding a dual quad Rad set up into an expansion box on the roof shortly... Need to find space for the water cooling some how

Wow this looks awesome, any idea of costs (for the whole thing) ?
It wouldn't suprise me with what's in it (at present) if it's up at £4000...
4x intel x25m 80gb
3x 480gtx
920
12gb ocz reaper 1866mhz ram
1200w silverstone st1200
P6t deluxe v2 and classi (both going for an r3e)
2x 1tb f3
Case and mods
SS unit
Blu-ray drive
Still in need of creating the water cooling section but with an r3e full cover block as well as 3x 480 blocks it'll be around £800 if not more.
Add to that a g19, x8, 3008wfp, amp with mission/kef speakers and itll be pushing £8k in total. Well worth it though

looks awesome, love the braided tubing
i wish i had that income to waste... but i suppose if it is done over time then it does not hurt as much when you see the bills
Waste?? Computers are never a waste... only when you go SS on an AMD chip are you wasting money
Lol Thanks... Its just a braid over the unsightly cladding that keeps the condensation at bay. It is rather partial mind I must say
