that tube routing is very interesting I must say.
The fact that it says "render"(sad me) makes me wonder and curious to the result

[AlienALX]

Glad to see you back to this

[Trav_X]

Sounds awesome, have fun with it!

[Str8f4c3]

Dope. Can't wait to see the build finalized!

Couldn't even tell some of the pics were renders till i read it. I envy that ability... This build looks like it's gonna be great, following.

You should have just posted the renders and said that the build was complete, no one would know the difference.

damn. Also realized that this is old Titan X and not the new Titan X Pascal. 

 

Still would be a killer fast build. 

 

Would certainly be very cool to use the new Pascal ones, although thankfully for me they don't offer any real improvements other than speed (yeah that sounds dumb I know haha).  The big limit for my usage is VRAM, which Nvidia decided not to increase for the Pascal Titan Xs.  So at least I can rock myself to sleep telling my mind I don't need them haha

Just wait a it until the big block is done, now that will be interesting for sure.

Glad to be back at this, had to put it off all summer thanks to overly busy schedules and whatnot.

Haha my favourite tactic, make the pictures look like renders and the renders look like pictures

That actually sort of happened with my previous project Aetos.  AMD thought that I had finished the build months before hand and had shared the renders around.  Needless to say they were quite surprised when I said the build was done and presented them with the final pics.

Well here's another semi-update to the longest running project log where nothing actually happens  

There has been a PSU swap! As much as I love the 2000W one, and it's no doubt a very high quality unit, it's just not suitable for home use at all. This is an earlier model I believe and as such the fan is unbelievably loud, to the extent that it's louder than the 4 GPUs on air during standard use.

So the 2000W beauty will be retired and going to Parvum to use in one of their stunning builds instead where volume doesn't play a factor. I think this is appropriate anyway as they're the ones who provided it to begin with, it should help one of their larger builds draw some nice attention.

Instead I'll be using a Thermaltake DPSG RGB 1500W Titanium unit. More than enough juice since I won't be overclocking (rendering stability) and it's nice and quiet. RGB is a 'nice to have' since the PSU will be very visible, but expect it to remain switched to white or off haha.

But in keeping with the rest of the build, I went and modelled the beast in full detail, including the Riing 140 RGB fan inside.

I am indeed, although unfortunately I won't be returning as I won't support this forum anymore.  It's not worth the time to post when the moderation team decides to penalise small businesses and take issue with things that have been in place for months.  I will implore fellow modders to do the same.

[Str8f4c3]

Still Quite hard for me to believe those are renders, but I'll take your word for it ;). If you don't mind me asking, specifically what is the problem with this forum?

More than happy to take my content elsewhere for you instead.  I understand there are no exceptions, but at the end of the day the staff on this site need to decide if LTT wants to be taken seriously or remain a back yard for youtube and that professional modders say "wait you post there?" to.

 

All sponsored mods are advertising.  So by allowing them you allow major companies to advertise in this space, but a personal website link in a signature is deemed too far.

 

Don't need to deal with moderators happy to wave a stick so that they can feel more important than they really are.
