Project Sleipnir

[ToroddWold]

Hey guys!
I'm finally starting to work on my personal build.
Calling it Sleipnir after Odin's eight legged horse in Norse mythology (5960X 8 cores)
Much of this build is going to be overkill. But I'm doing it because, well because I can mostly B) 
I have some case mods planned already, but I'd like feedback and more ideas
Case is getting painted grey

I would recommend just the most expensive EVGA 980's you can get  

Followed.

5860X 

Dual Sapphire Radeon R9-290X Vapor-X 8GB Edition

[ericlee30]

5860X? Don't you mean the 5960X?

 

 

jk jk,just thought of this seen when I saw the 5860X

[itsmyjobtoknow]

3-way 980 Kingpin?

Quad-Fire 2x r9-295x2?

2way Titan X?

[CydiaDash]

Looking forward to this. Followed

Sorry ofc you're right

I knew it was just a typo, love the hardware, cant wait to see your build

[ToroddWold]

I'm not sure what colour I'm going for.
Considering grey sleeving as Sleipnir was grey, but I don't know what kind of coolant colour I want

[Hans Christian | Teri]

it's funny because 8 core CPU. Looks like a solid build.

[Poster]

Gray and Orange would be sick.

 

This is going to be a very, very expensive build that most of us could only dream of.

 

Subbed.

Update #1
 

(sorry for bad photos)

The parts I have so far

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

First test fitting
Everything looks so small in this case

 

[Blackie Sheen]

You should get some kingpin 980 or some classys to get dem crazy overclocks

[ToroddWold]

Does anyone know which is more powerfull of 3x 980 VS 2x TitanX?
2x TitanX is a bit cheaper (not by much) than 3x 980
 

[MikeKyr23]

i look at all this epic build and i realize i need more money to upgrade to a PC from a freaking laptop. it looks epic so far. and i think 980 would be better

3 980s have slightly better performance in synthetic benchmarks. But if your playing games at higher resolutions, the 4gb of VRAM in the 980 may reduce performance, the 12gb in the titan will probably make it perform better. I would go with the 2 titans, it won't look as nice as 3 980's but you'll have 2 titans.

yeah, and I can always expand it later to 3x titanx later I guess

I really like the look of 3x cards :wub:

[ToroddWold]

I rercived the RAM today    thought I would share my progress  
I went with a 32GB HyperX poredator 3000Mhz kit and EK monarch blocks. 
By a mistake I ordered the CSQ blocks instead of the clean ones :mellow: 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I don't know if I should just polish down the frosting on the CSQ or order in the new clean ones.... 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I have lots of RAM heatsinks if anyone want some

for free? Maybe

for free? Maybe

If you come here and pick em up, you can have em for free   

what would you do with em?

Good idea, maybe I should do that

I'm planing to cut out some logos and have them iluminated (like I did with the skryrim logo in the 800Dusty build) and I've started working on the designs. Planning to do at least two logos, one to cover the 5 1/4 bays and one on the midplate. What do you guys think?
