ENTERPRISE

I would imagine getting a readout of your RAM Specs via Thaiphoon Burner would help as this will give @1usmus detailed information about your RAM so he can look it over. You can post a screenshot of the specs here or you can write a comment on his twitter, you can find a link to his twitter on the "About" tab on the DRAM Calculator.

You will be pleased to know that I went for the Aquacomputer D5 Next with another Rad Black Ice Nemesis GTS 280. Aside from the additional monitoring via software that the D5 next will bring, it is nice to have the backup, granted I already have a flow sensor which is on my diagnostics monitor (so I would notice). However at least if one goes down, my rig can stay operational while I order a new pump if the worst was to happen. Purchased some additional fittings to allow for angling the tubes if I need to as well as a new cutter for modding the case if necessary. My case has a basement section covered by a shroud which I already modded for my current setup but I'm going to clear more space underneath for the new pump which will sit below my current pump/res combo. However so that I can have the tubing coming back up and out of the basement, it is time for a new tubing hole lol. Also ordered some more of the tap like fittings for my CPU block (which is actually a full mobo coverage block) so when it comes to future maintenance I can lock off the mobo block when undoing pipes etc for future GPU inclusion, just reduces risk of unnecessary spillage. I will also do the same for the top mounted rad, again when altering the loop, why risk additional coolant spilling out of the rad when I can just lock it off right! At least that is my logic.

Nice insight. You will be pleased to know that I went for the Aquacomputer D5 Next with another Rad Black Ice Nemesis GTS 280.

Warning very much heeded lol.

It is certainly an impressive lineup, lets hope the same for the consumer hardware !

Cost is a massive factor. SLI used to be good if you wanted to add in another card later down the line for a performance boost, obviously by then the second GPU will have come down in price. However still a moot point until SLI comes out of a niche it's stuck in.

Awesome, I imagined it would be ok, but never having done a double pump build, I thought it best to ask lol. Pics and vids will come. I will likely install the new rad and pump just for the CPU for now and get it all setup and add the GPU to it later once the 3080Ti's hit the market.

Nice, little on the pricier side but nice. I would imagine that I would need to set the pumps both at the same speed setting to ensure it equalizes ? In order to make sure that modification to the pumps settings is nice and easy so far as the on pump buttons, I may mount the D5 Nxt next to my Pump/Res combo. Assuming they are on the same level this should not be an issue ? Thanks for the other advice Hmmmm now that is one hell of a setup, not so sure I have the room for something like that haha.

So if I were thinking of another pump as a fail safe. What would you guys recommend (smaller the better) secondly, would the pump be directly after my first pump in the loop such as... RES/PUMP Combo -> Failsafe Pump -> Rest of loop. ? Thanks in advance.

Hello all, Just wanted to collect Part 1 - 9 of the GTC Keynote here for your viewing pleasure.

Yeah I saw this the other day and it looks amazing, the new engine looks great and it is good to see the consoles able to get fidelity. Of course though you still cannot compare these consoles to PC's like some publications do. When will they learn it is not an apples to apples comparison...like ever.

I forgot about DLSS ! Yeah a technology akin to that would be the best way to go even with non chiplet design multi-gpu. Just imagine if they achieved that, multi-gpu would then come back to the enthusiast level rather than a small niche.

Yeah airflow should not be an issue in this case fortunately. I love the face you used a wall of cables to manipulate airflow...why not haha.

Decided to go with https://www.watercoolinguk.co.uk/p/B...ack_44923.html I think this RAD will fit nicely in the top section of the case with no issues (Fingers Crossed) and will help offset any additional temps given off from a future GPU.

I think that this round in order to protect the Titan RTX, they really need to distance that SKU from the Ti range, otherwise aside from the additional VRAM, the Titan RTX is just lost. It will be interesting to see what RDNA 2 brings, Intel Xe wont be able to compete IMHO with AMD's and Nvidia's next offering. Not saying they will not be impressive, but last time I looked they were not even really aiming for the gaming market all that much.

Well they could go that route with a chiplet like design, however I am wondering if that makes it any easier for the devs. Unless Nvidia or AMD make it so that it is game agnostic and the GPU/Drivers decide how to best process the game ? I think the only way Multi-GPU will return or another guise of it is if the workload is taken away from the dev.

So you would got for the Titan RTX (Or whatever they choose to call it for the Ampere series) ?

So we have an update. Phase one of the build process has started. We now have the Mobo,CPU,RAM,CPU Cooler installed into the case alongside the 1300Watt mining PSU for the GPU's and of course those mad case fans which I have very much had to configure otherwise the noise would have been nuts. So some may have seen the updates prior to this post that the i7-9700 CPU would not boot in the motherboard which I diagnosed (after doing the standard CPU/RAM re-seat etc) was the board was flashed with an earlier BIOS meaning it did not have support for the i7-9700 out of the box, BOO ! I identified a Celeron G4920 CPU that was supported at launch, purchased one on good old Ebay and used it to flash the mobo to the latest BIOS. Fortunately when I put the i7-9700 in afterwards, all booted up just fine . Cable management is a little tougher in this type of case, so it will never look perfect, but lets face it, it is not meant to be a showcase build. Fortunately I have many cable ties and sticky pad anchors which helps make sure I can keep cables semi managed. All I am now waiting for is the hardware kindly donated by @InverseTundra which will bring me to phase 2 of the build with the installation of the main system PSU and PCIe risers. I took a couple of pics of the current build process, apologies that it is a little dimly lit. See below a quick run through video of the rig with fans at a managed level, ironically the PSU fan is louder than the system fans now lol. [video=youtube_share;1fc-d8pIqmY] I am also excited to announce that we have had a very kind member donate to use a GTX Nvidia 1070 which will be the first GPU for this folding rig. The donor has chosen to remain anonymous. However please join me in giving them huge thanks in getting us another step closer

This is starting to get me ''Amped''

Well said, does not matter now how it came about but the fact it HAS come about and it is time to act. I am all up for behavioral changes as I think that plays a large part (and we should be better) but you are right that now need to also focus on effort to mitigate the changes that have already taken place. What I will say this whole Covid situation has however put a large spotlight on just how much better the earth has gotten over this short period with the reduction of human activity, it is amazing, that is why I think behavioral changes are also important. However for those changes that cannot be so easily rolled back, we definitely need to bring in technology to help. As for Hydrogen, most definitely the way to go and hopefully we can keep striving toward that without too much delay.

Holy...that is more of a pump ARRAY than anything lol ! Yeah I hear the D5's last well, so it is good to hear you have the same opinion, always nice to have the extra confidence haha.

Same as that bud, my PC is in reality my workstation and gamer rolled into one. No longer HEDT (More than I really required) but still the same uses, though arguably I work on it more than I game....sadface.

No this time it is as simple as stating you are IN and ensuring you submit at least one WU during the comp period to team EHW.

That is interesting, though I wonder why Nvidia has sat on it ? Possibly because A. It is not ready or B. It was not what they hoped for. I have been through the whole single gpu versus multi-gpu. Back in the day when I moved from single GPU to CF I was in awe of the additional performance and it was fantastic, the same when I moved over to NV with SLI. Even up to the 2080Ti's I remained with SLI, or in this case Nvlink. The issue for me was the 2080Ti multi-gpu was more of a "Maybe things will get better" type deal. We have all seen the decline in multi-gpu titles or the poor scaling if it was supported. I remember during the 2080Ti launch Nvidia where stating that they would be working hard with devs and the likes to bring back the multi-gpu platform (for gaming) but I am yet to see it. I think that assuming the rumors are semi accurate about the 3080Ti, that will be the route I will go, but this time a single gpu build. I think that the API fragmentation regarding DX, Vulkan, OpenGL has not helped matters either. It is great to have the competition for sure but multi-gpu has been even more hit and miss over these different API's. All in all multi-gpu for gaming is not dead, but it really is now a niche due to the lack of support and the fact you will see little return on your investment. You never know Nvidia may pull something out of the hat, but whatever it is, it would need to make life so easy for devs to make it worthwhile, or to incentivize devs in some way.

Hmmm cannot say I have seen that one before, @axipher have you ?
