  1. i would recommend the EVGA PSUs.  I just got the 1300w G2 - awesome PSU with a rock solid build and stable current.  I would look at the 1500w variant.  I watched a review from the British dude from Overclockers and at the wall the 2 295x2 were pulling 1400w.

  2. apparently noctua is coming out with black colored fans now.  I would get those.  I have the Corsair SP on my rads and they are a bit loud.  NoiseBlocker fans also come highly recommended.  Yate loons are another brand that I was looking at for my build.

     

    If you want cheap, reliable and move a lot of air - Cougar fans have worked really well for me. 4 x 120mm fans for $20 when NCIX has a sale.  Work awesome.  They are NOT PWM fans if you are interested in that sort of thing.

  3. sounds like a kinked hose and air trapped somewhere.  I can't see the pics but do you have a vent for the air to escape while you are bleeding the system?  Or have you made everything air tight from the time you filled it up?  I had an issue with trapped air but I let the system bleed out for 8 hours overnight with one of the fittings at the top of my res removed so air could escape.  Surprisingly when I checked on it in the morning, I was down about 20% in my res from the top (I have the EK 400ml) after the trapped air worked itself out of my system.

     

    My setup:

    1 x 480 rad

    1 x 360 rad (30mm)

    1 x 360 rad (60mm)

    1 x MCP655 pump

  4. What motherboard do you have? I have a special ATX4P port next to my 24 pin connector that supplies more power to the PCI lanes when using a multi-GPU setup. I know it made a difference for me. When I didn't have it connected I would have major stuttering issues in BF4. I'm running 2 780's in SLI. One is an EVGA Hydro copper and the other is an MSI. Mixing manufacturers is fine.

  5. Need some help

    Got a new setup in place. Gtx780 in SLI. One is the EVGA hydro copper and the other is an msi GTX 780 with a swiftech block. 3770 k OCD to 4.4 @ 1.32V. Graphics cards OCD to 103% using evga precision. PSU was the HX 750. Just changed it to evga 1300 w g2

    Problems:

    When I'm playing BF4 in Nvidia surround @ 5760x1200 each time I die there is like a significant drop in FPS and it's almost like a stutter in the game. It didn't do this when I only had one card. I thought when I bought the second 780 that it was running out of juice so I bought the new PSU.

    In Titan fall I'm having ping problems. I'm constantly at about 100-120. When I go to BF4 I'm at 20-30. And no, nothing is downloading or uploading at that time except the game.

    When I fire up a game (happens in both Titanfall and BF4) the centre screen (connected to the display port of the top card) goes scrambled and the surround monitors are fine (connected via dvi). These are apple cinema monitors and I don't have a choice on the type of connection to use. Here is a pic of what I mean. I have to then unplug it and plug it back in and everything is fine. I have updated the drivers twice with no luck.

    Thanks for the help!

  6. do you think it will help if I put another sata connection to the ATX4P port thing?  My mobo manual says it supplies more power to the 16x and 8x PCI lanes.  I have noticed in other builds that most people don't connect to it.  I'm going to give it a try once I get the new power supply connected.  EVGA supernova 1300g2

  7. Single connector only for SLi...the others are for Tri SLi...connectors furthest to the "back" of the Case.

    If your Cards are spaced as they would be for 3 Cards (but only 2 Cards), you can use a Tri SLi connector with no ill effects, many of use this for aesthetic purposes ;)

     

     

    Thank you!
