I just noticed that it was 2 GTX Titans in there! Jesus that must seriously handle anything with no problems at all. Any screen glitches or tears running those 2 in SLI?

50% growth, more of a show-er than a grower, it seems.

Haha I wish, I posted the pictures of the boxes when I got the cards, they are 780's. GTX780 blocks weren't in stock at the time so I said screw it and bought the titan blocks (exact same design)

I'd love to have the 6 gigs on ram on the titans though, would help so much at 1440p. Thankfully I can still hit 90 fps with this setup on BF3 at ultra. Hehehehe,

Updates/preview on first test fitting. Build should at least be running by monday. I'm still waiting on some additional pipes and what not. Decided to ditch the tygon hoses (mostly, still need a section for each quick disconnect so you can actually twist them off without causing a leak) and switched straight to brass pipes for a cleaner look, zero kinks and +10hp

Thinking of spray painting the silver quick disconnect joints black to match everything else, then I gotta sleeve all the cables and tuck them away neatly. Anyone got tips on rattle can-painting... chrome? or whatever this silver finish is ><

I may be a shiety *** mechanic when it comes to cars, but thank god I can at least deal with computers, LOL

EDIT! WHY DO I HAVE A LITTLE ICON NEXT TO MY USER NAME NOW?!

Recently overclocked my 3770K to 4.6, so time to ***** my build pics around Surprisingly, the top exhaust fan slots on Fractal Design Define R4 case did not make a difference on peak temps. During my 24hour prime95 test, I still hit the 87C on Core#2.

Intel i7 3770K (4.6GHz, 1.224-1.264v)
ASRock Z77 Extreme6
Corsair Vengeance LP 2x4GB 1600MHz 1.5v
MSI GTX 670 OC
Samsung 840 250GB
WD 3TB Red
WD 1TB Green
Fractal Design Define R4
Corsair AX750

My current fan setup:

HSF - Noctua NH-D14
Front Intake - Noctua NF-A14 FLX (connected to case’s fan controller; normally set at 7V, was set at 12V during the stress test)
Front Intake - Noctua NF-A14 FLX (connected to case’s fan controller; normally set at 7V, was set at 12V during the stress test)
Bottom Intake - Noctua NF-A15 PWM (Speedfan controlled)
Side Exhaust - Noctua NF-A15 PWM (Speedfan controlled)

Even when I added the two stock Fractal fans at the top exhaust slots, peak temps still hit 87C during the 24hour prime stress test. Unfortunately, I did not do temperature logging, so I don't have stats on whether the top exhausts fans have an effect on overall/average temps during the 24hour stress test.

Sort of old pics, but still a good idea of how it looks. Fan on top exhaust slot is now gone, and HDD's replaced with WD's.
