Chasing 4K

[steffen_anywhere]

After problems with crossfire in Watch Dogs and one card today, fan started running at 100% and stopped showing up in device manager. I reinstalled the drivers and restarted. The card showed up again, but was artifacting in games, so I returned and ordered 2x reference 780 Tis.

Why? They don't fit your color scheme at all. You should get Matrix 780Tis instead.

I love the ref cards, especially for SLI. I told my wife, "This kid on the forum wants me to paint the TIs when they arrive". She said no, so I told her I'm letting the community know she made the call. I told her I could plasti dip in case of RMA. Women...

You got the 'kid' part right! (I also photoshopped that card btw)

 

Keep talking to her maybe? I swear, if you don't keep that super smexy AMD card look, I will...

Well I'll spend my own money on making my build equally smexy.

I read through your thread on banners. Nice work. Great contribution to the community. That's how I knew you were a kid; and I DID assume you photoshopped that GPU. Thanks for clarifying. Again, nice work. If you have a chance, could you, perhaps, photoshop the 780Ti with the colors reversed....ex...Turquoise on the metal and leave the black, black? I will try and make the paintwork happen. Maybe, after I know they won't need to be RMA'd for any reason. Thanks for the inspiration.

I will get to shopping that pic, but I honestly think that the turquoise will overpower the GPU and look girly.

 

but I'll do it, don't worry.

So first, in order to cover for the blue's girlyness, I'll post a pink 780ti.

 

 

Now that you've seen that, here is the... decent blue one.

 

 

 

I would still go for colouring the black part of the heatsink :I

Yep, I like it. You have to imagine the side view with Geforce GTX glowing.

Note that the finish wont be as metallic if you use Plastidip, but I think it would be fine if you will only see the side like you said. :3

Ooops my bad it was just a typo on my end, not some magical GPU I came out with

 

Fixed

[purplepenguin202]

that actually looks really really good

[P e r s e p h o n e]

Damn what a nice build, puts mine to shame.

Wow! Thanks. Looks amazing. Been out of town for a few days.

I should change my sig. Nobody's got them 798s. Lol Nice

[TymmVonD]

I'm waiting a few weeks before I paint the cards. Until then... I found a BenQ 27" 120Hz monitor for a deal.

 

[Hikaru12]

I like your setup. It's really clean and uncluttered. Hope to do something similar in the future.

[Tearass]

Multiple headphones?

Had Best Buy credits. I wanted to only get a mouse pad, but with the rewards system; I had to spend over $50. So I grabbed those Siberia V2s. Haven't decided on donating the Vengeance 2000s to my son yet, as he poured Sprite all over the K60 keyboard I gave him. It came back to life after about 5 dousings with 91% alcohol and 3 days of drying.

 

P.S.- Along with the 2nd monitor, I picked up an EVGA Hadron Air for $10. It's missing the proprietary PSU, but I called EVGA and told them the truth...I said, "Hey, I bought this Hadron for $10. How do I order a new PSU?" They said they would charge me for the PSU but send me a brand new complete Hadron Air and ship mine to them. Wow! EVGA FTW!

Are those three fans at the front Corsair's AF series or SP series ?

Sorry for the late reply. Mention the user and it will notify them. 

 

I have 2 SPs and one AF in the front, at the moment. I feel the SPs create a cool pocket around them while the AFs move the air. So the AF is in the middle directed at my GPUs.
