Thank you Windows... Good luck fixing it! Fingers crossed it's software related..

Good evening Or afternoon for everyone from the other side of the ocean.

360 mil PPD, though he might need a few new riser cables instead of those 1x things..

Indeed, I noticed your post there. And reading through his comments he did a good job building and making sure he keeps the systems cool. It is interesting to see from a technical point of view, 120 GPU's (15kwh) in a room that's not really that big..

It's not what I like to see, but he did an awesome job of building those systems! And there is a bit more info if you look around on his reddit account.

7 years old, that's not a bad reason to upgrade.. A small croc should be fine, I wouldn't be afraid of that But before I do that you'll se a reply here: "bought a pool with a fence" Haha, that sounds like one of my nieces. She's so full of love for everything that lives, both humans and animals! They have a Belgian Shepard, most kids are afraid of that dog, but she hugs and plays with it like it's just a toy! Most important thing with that dog is that he knows you, I can creep up on him and silently call his name and he jumps up with joy

Thanks @doyll It has been a lot of fun so far, and much more to come! A Corsair AX1600i should be on the way to me instead of the Super Flower/EVGA PSU I was trying to get. I'm maxing out one of the PSU's already, and that's something I don't like. The drawings are on their way to the company that'll do the laser cutting, I can't wait to get the parts and start welding (or let one of the more experienced coworkers do that for me). And after putting a sleeve on a few cables I'm a bit sad that most of the cables are already black, I somehow enjoy doing that stuff.. This one needed a sleeve anyways, the heatshrink will have to wait until I install it in the PSU box.

Building computers is a powerful drug... Just don't feed the ravens! And I bought this one, for the newborn son of a friend. I kinda wanna keep it tbh

It's a good thing that you installed caster wheels... Starting to look heavy Good luck with the rest of the cables, most fun part of every build!

Thanks E, this little project was a lot of fun!

Subbed! His work looks great, and the profiles look a lot like the ones I used. Finally, I was waiting for you to take up the baton! It's been hard work

In the downtime of the forum I did some things with this card: The cooler, unused with the thermal paste still on it: I replaced the connector for a 3pin, soldered longer wires, used heatshrink to protect the wires and sleeved the thing: There was enough room between the memory and the cooler, so I ordered 3 extra M.2 heatsinks: The only memory I can't cool directly is the row above the GPU. There is a heatsink on the back though, should be good.. And the final product, MSI M40ti sounds good I haven't been able to get it up and running. It was in the system but I had a few problems with drivers, though it was working good before. Will have to figure that out some time, but that's for another day. [edit] And I forgot to mention, the IO bracket does not fit anymore. The red plastic interferes with the bracket, will have to trim one of them or get a single slot bracket preferably with 2 holes for screws (or make one myself).

Yes... I'm patiently(not) waiting for my cooler so I can join the fun. But I'm glad Avacado and Tictoc took their time to improve the BIOS (or found a way to do it) so we can enjoy that later on. I wouldn't mess with that stuff myself. [update] Just received an email that the cooler should be here tomorrow

That's good news! @Avacado??

https://statsclassic.foldingathome.org/donor/8514 He already did ?

The guys over at EKWB are holding their breath too, will he order another one? Just kidding, I really hope this one survives Some small and inexpensive things, like some sort of surgeon's knife I bought the other day, make me really happy. The price doesn't matter if you need something and use it a lot!

I'm holding my breath for the next comp...

That's a nice improvement, like adding an extra M40 for free

Welcome to EHW!

I feel sorry for that pump, that's a lot of restriction to overcome! But that PSU on the other hand, I know a way better system it should go in... Haha, don't worry. We all have things that make us "happy" I was using DesignSpark, not sure if that uses the same engine as Solidworks but it gets the job done. After using it for several hours I still don't feel comfortable using it, might have to do with my lack of experience with 3d drawing. It looks way bigger on the drawing than it actually is, the dimensions are 10x30x43.5cm (I updated the design to fit the longer PSU after posting the images).

And an other little update, I decided to draw the PSU box and the radiator mounting plate. (All that to make @ENTERPRISE happy ) I'll see if I can get this made from normal aluminium instead of diamond plate. I'm not sure if I'll like the diamond pattern.. And hopefully our 'metal' shop can cut this with a laser, would save me a lot of time! So first the radiator panel. I decided to mount the power button on the PSU box, so nobody can press it by accident. And here is the PSU box. It'll fit 2 PSU's, a hole on top and 2 holes in the back for the cables. I've used a common size for grommets, so I can just insert those and make it look clean. The open side will remain open, it's on the back anyways. That's the only way to install the PSU's after welding the box. I might have to extend the box a bit after looking at the size of the PSU I want (was not expecting it to be 225mm ) Between the PSU's is a hole for the power button I am using, which is in the previous post. I might weld the box myself, not much experience with aluminium but maybe a fun project to try it again.

Lots of good music guys, I've been listening to everything above this afternoon while doing some drawings.

That's a nice idea, I'm interested in what that backplate will look like once it's finished! And about that nun, I prefer the friendly looking types

I still have room for around 40 bottles, should be enough for a week or 2 The steel strapping is an option, but I have access to aluminium diamond plates. If I sandblast that to lose the shine it should look about the same as the profiles, and I can make a mounting plate for other hardware too like the little fan hub, the power button and the add2psu.

The progress on this build is a bit slow, because it has been running without any problem for some time. As I'm using the system I get an idea of what I need to change or improve. So first of all, I've lowered the lower level 4cm to create a bit more room. The extensions are long enough for every slot on the upper level, so why not? I am running out of profiles and hardware, though I ordered a lot more than I needed for the initial build. So I guess I'll have to order more.. As I'm slowly progressing with this build I realized that it's pretty heavy to lift the system (doh..), so a set of caster wheels might not be a bad idea. I've not been able to find the perfect PSU, so for now I'm still using the pair of 850w PSU's. I want to mount them in a tray below the lower level, hanging like this: For that I'll have to make a bracket that'll fit 2 PSU's side by side, with a few holes to secure them with screws. Something like a cable tray wouldn't be a bad idea either if I want to make it look somewhat decent. The AIO radiator will need a bracket too, it is hanging on one of the profiles right now. It's a perfect fit between the frame, almost like it was on purpose One of the last purchases was 3 extra CoolerMaster PCIe extension cables. There are currently 4 GPU's in the system, and with the Tesla M40 that'll soon be 5. Once I have a decent PSU and the GPU shortage is over I would like to change at least the 1650 super for something 30xx and maybe the 1660ti too. At least I have all the extensions I need for that, and they are all the same. And since I have enough extensions I upgraded the 1650 super to the penthouse which will improve the airflow over the motherboard and it'll look a bit more occupied on the upper level of the system. That's it for now. More idea's in my head, and a lot to do to make that happen.
