Hey also, Nate said he can build them, I will just need to find some more people to go in on it with me. Apparently because there is so much work in them, its a waste to build just one. I need 2, but if the link you have is to a M10 block and your saying it's made for my FTW+ I will give it a try. I need 2 right now, but I was going to add a third card and if I do that, the middle card will just get to hot.
Also, I was going to do a chip and board upgrade in the next few months, I'm saving for it right now( mainly because this board I have Asus Z97 - A) wont handle 3 cards, It barley handles the 2. Anyway, back to my point, I'm thinking about not doing the board and chip upgrade and just upgrade my cards to twin 980 w/ the water block ready and already installed. The more I read, it looks like 2 980s is cheaper, more FPS, plus you don't have to worry about the heat like you do with the 3x 970s.
But....Since you have found the blocks for these FTWs then I should be able to stick to my primary plan of upgrading the chip, board, and PSU. See below what I want:
Board - ASUS ROG RAMPAGE V EXTREME/U3.1 LGA2011-V3 DDR4 M.2 ACWiFi USB 3.1 Type A Intel X99
Chip - Intel I7 5930K Haswell
PSU - EVGA - Supernova 1000 - Platinum
What ya think???????
Asus Z97 - A
I5 - 4690 at 4.5
2x EVGA - GTX 970 FTW+
Corsair Vengeance Pro DDR 3 @2400
PNY XLR8 240 Gig & Samsung 850 EVO 250 Gig
Corsair - CX 750
Samsung Curved 27"
Samsung 21" Standard
