^ That's one hell of a sexy build.
Added a second GTX 780 to my little troll.

Very nice zenf, a little troll with a hefty punch.![]()
Are you planning on using that to cook on/as a hot plate?![]()
Heh, I could probably toast some marshmallows out the back of it.. Temps inside are surprisingly good though, with all the fans at max the top card only gets to 76°C and CPU to 65°C after a full 3DMark run.
That's actually pretty impressive!
When I had an air cooled card, it would idle at about those temps, and get upto 80-90 under load, and that was in a HAF-X!
Currently though, I'm running a pair of 7970s with full cover blocks being cooled (along with my CPU) by a 360 rad, and they sit at about 60C 24/7 whilst mining![]()
Very nice, would like to have a crack at water cooling at some point but wasn't feeling brave enough for this build, and I'm not sure I could've afforded it right now anyway. And I do love how small this thing is.
There's quite a contrast in the noise it makes though, it's the quietest PC I've ever heard for general browsing and whatnot, but both GPU fans at 100% is almost like gaming with a small vacuum cleaner on your desk.I've gotten used to it but for demanding games, headphones are highly recommended!
