How can you be so calm, You just lost a few grand

This is why I generally don't do over the top builds, I could but I'm all too aware of dangers just like this 1

Hope it all comes right for you though.

Next time go with a Superflower PSU, Best I've ever used and there's a reason the worlds top overclockers use them, Stability and reliability

Update

It looks like it is just the one PSU that has blown as I have just managed to get it running on the other PSU in there.

I have shut it down again until I can get another PSU as it is too much for a single unit.

It is only a machine and there are far more important things to worry about so even if it was a total write off it is not the end of the world.

Thanks for the support everyone.

I have just ordered another PSU, hopefully this one won't blow up.

Just put the waterblocks on the cards, just waiting for some fittings to turn up before leak testing.

Was the build more for raw power over visual impact?

Yes raw power was the number one priority.

Now if only NVidia would get on with releasing the Maxwell Titans.

Sweet!! Very nice Kaap.

Though the size of the case looks way over the top for the motherboard lol! But i suppose you need PSU and rad space

+1

The rads and PSUs use a lot of space.

I have thought about using one of those tube shaped res/pumps but am not really sure how people attach them to the cases.

That's a great looking powerhouse. Looking forward to seeing some benchmarks.

Some early ones

Heaven 4 @1080p

3dmark11 P preset

3dmark11 X preset

Firestrike

Firestrike Extreme

Firestrike Ultra 4K

Skydiver

3dmark Vantage X preset

Some benches like Unigine Valley and 3dmark Vantage on the normal preset are not worth running due to the huge CPU bottleneck.
