    Is the LED white or blue? It's been hard to tell from different pics.

    Great Pics! How are the ACX coolers? I'm thinking about buying two for my titans. Is the rad at the top your only exhaust?

    Thanks everyone for the kind words!

    @bee144

    ACX coolers are awesome! I previously ran 2 cards instead of three and had better spacing.. Which of course yielded better temps..

    However, even with the 3 cards sandwiched together, max temp during gaming is 70c with 1.2v on all 3 cards

    The radiator is H100i. There's 4 fans on it (push/pull configuration) exhausting out the top of the case.

    There's also 2 200mm case fans mounted on top of the case that exhaust.

    The only other exhaust fan is the rear Delta 140mm 4000RPM.
    (You can see it in the picture)

    Not pictured are 2 of the same deltas at the BOTTOM of the case drawing air into the case..
    And to the right of the GPU's is another Delta fan that blows air across the video cards.

    All the Delta FM's are plugged into a 32v fan controller that is mounted into one of the front 5.25" bays.

    I have 2 ACX with a 3rd coming in and was wondering what you use to check your voltage.  GPU-Z or something else?  Mine in SLI with 8X 2150rpm Gentle Typhoons can hit nearly 80C at max fan on a warm day.  GPU-Z tells me my voltage is at 1.1620v..

    Awesome bridge you have there! Can't wait for mine to arrive, just hope it will fit 

    I will either find a way, or make one.

    I have Precision X installed.. and have it displaying the GPU core clock, memory clock, usage, and voltage for each card on my G19 keyboard LCD display...
     
    you can do the same with Precision X by installing the "Rivatuner Statistics Server" (OSD utility which is selected by default when installing the latest version of Precision X)... and set it up to monitor your voltage

    Here is a picture I edited a while back when someone was asking me about fan setup in my case...
     
    (you can see at the time I only had 2 780's)
     
    and look at that UGLY SLI BRIDGE!

    the ACX coolers are indeed awesome, keeps my 4GB 770 SC between 30c idle, 70c on load.
     
    my 2.56GB 570 I had before was like 40c idle, 85c on load, quite a difference.

    What RPMs do you run those Deltas at?  I just bought a Panaflow 120mmx38mm to test blowing onto my Titans

    @aberdie

    Around 1800-2000

    As you can tell..I don't mind the noise so much!

    So to me the ACX fans are virtually silent even at 100% lol

    Here it is






    That looks really great, but that pci-e flat ribbon cable looks a bit too close to the fan blades.

    Actually... the fan blades are on the OTHER side (inside) of the fan..

    I could be neater with the pcie cables though... I'm not too sure I like the flat ones over the regular type cables.. they're actually harder to "manage"...
