Finished x99 5820k ddr4 guts swap!

Well I'm going titan x waterblocks! I'm too broke to do sli titans. Scrounging for the 980 tis was hard enough.

I want to do waterblocks too, but man those contained hybrid units to me sound way cheaper and easier to install/maintain than doing another water cooling setup.

I thought you were a baller, dont act like you couldnt have gotten two titan x

I got one of them and 27" 1440 144hz monitor to replace me 28" 4k samsung monitor. If I cant push 144 frames, i'll probably buy a second Titan X.

Yes I was very very VERY close to picking up the acerxb270hu. It's the same as yours but ips. I decided to do this instead and wait for the 3440x1440 gsync because the new news is that it's 100hz.

No man I'm no baller lol. I drive a 97 truck live in a small apartment.. I just live under my means so I can afford stuff to buy which is cheaper than therapy lol.

Anyway no, I couldn't get two titans unless I started selling guns off and I promised myself I'm not doing that anymore lol.

I just bought the samsung m.2 drive, 512GB from amazon.

Why not go with dual TitanX? I really wanted to get the hybrid cooled versions but they are 1+ month out.

Start checking EVGA website. They are coming in more often. I've seen them up for hours at a time when before it was minutes.

I wasn't sure about those m.2 SSD's, so I just bought a standard one a couple days ago. Are they really that much better?

Yea about x6 as fast. A standard user like myself can't really tell the difference.
It will make game load times faster and data transfer faster as long as you don't have a data bottleneck.

Ex: like running data from a m.2 to a old standard HDD or slow SSD from a few years ago.

I bought the same CPU as you, 32GB mem, samsung m.2 drive, and superclocked titan x. When I get this thing up tonight we can compare results.

[FunFordCobra]

Sweet titans I like. I have a project of my own tonight as well.

[FunFordCobra]

and done.

Thats some fancy shit mine looks basic bitch.

I got 2.2GBps on this SSD, this monitor is the best monitor I've ever owned, the refresh rate is insane.

[FunFordCobra]

I've researched them ALOT. I've personally never played or even seen one, but if its ANYTHING like my old 1080p 144hz I'm sure it blows your socks off with a titan. I've wanted one for quite awhile.

If the ACER 21:9 isn't 100Hz and is 75hz like people are sayin, I'm definitely getting a XB270HU.

Did you get the acer or asus?

I have no idea what my M.2 will do. It's been sitting here waiting for me to put OS on it. I was thinking WIN10 idk yet. Its a patriot so probably not as fast.

How did you rig up the water blocks on the 980ti? Mine is coming in the mail tomorrow. I bought a self contained 240L for the processor, but I have heard that the 980ti can get pretty hot. I went with the EVGA SC with the back plate. I could not find the hybrid in stock anywhere.

[FunFordCobra]

You can check for the hybrid kit for it. Only 100 bucks and keeps them under 50c. Harfd to find in stock though.

As far as blocks, those are titan x waterblocks. That's what they are using.

Set an aggressive fan profile, it will be loud but should stay in the 70s. A loop like this will keep you under 40 c heavily overclocked.

[FunFordCobra]

Order fast in stock!

I put my machine together this evening. Everything went pretty smooth other than the fact that it is not sending a picture to the display . I also did not get the initial boot beeping. Sorry to hijack!
