interesting build to see coz I would like to see how you can squeeze that long GPU into the 250D but what about the rest of the build be like?

OH cool!

plz post pics!

 

Vesuvius eh?

 

Olympus Mons is not impressed

Debating on motherboard at the moment, probably a Z87 stinger + 4770K. Not sure on CPU cooling at the moment as im unsure where im going to mount the 295X2 cooler.

 

Supposedly the 295X2 hits the threshold for the 250D length wise, guess ill find out tomorrow.

of course!

Nice!

Here we go again  :wub:  :wub:

Can I suggest the Asus Impact iTX or the MSI Z87i?

 

I heard great review from the 2 boards especially from Tek Syndicate

 

the radiator for the 295X2 is a 120 or 140mm so I guess you can only fit a BeQuiet Dark Power CPU cooler.

I have a spare Z87 Stinger thats why I chose it  :lol:

Must be nice... :rolleyes: lol

ah i see

 

but a good CPU air cooler is the only thing you can fit when the rear exhaust fan mount is occupied by the radiator for the 295X2

Yup, going to see what I can scavenge tomorrow.

I've been considering the Z87 Stinger for my next mITX build also.

Update! Look whats on my test bench...

how do you have 2 295x's? ;D You're going to need 2 power supplies if you want to make a proper build with 2 of those

Hahaa...no. He'll be fine with an AX1200(i).

[Almercenary]

Thats really going to push the length and space. Might still get a bit warm even with that water cooler.

each twin GPU is drawing 500 watts each

 

so pretty much the 1200i is the minimum PSU he should use to power the 2 GPUs with the rest of the components

You should probably make life easy and just do a small cpu cooler. easier to manage and without LC the OC you'll push won't be remarkable so it's not worth it. the highlight of the build is the 295x (x2) so you should put emphasis on this. Either use the stock or like an EVO

[One Who Craves Souls]

Excellent, looking forward to that build!

[Stadiz]

2 x 295x2? HOLY CRAP   

I shall pray for your PSU good sir.

Not a fan of the 250D (too plasticy) but heck suprise us!

You may pass.
