Pretty and compact.

Holy crap, that stack of 1070s with the connection block looks amazing. Are you going to put some LEDs under those water blocks?

Very Nice Work.

Did EK custom make that HEPTA block or is that a stock part?
 
Holy Balls you're a madman!

EK-FC Terminal HEPTA Semi-Parallel

EAN: 3831109831106
EK-FC Terminal HEPTA Semi-Parallel is a high quality interconnection for connecting seven (7) EK Full-Cover water blocks in a single, sturdy unit. Connecting multiple graphics cards FC water blocks with awkward fittings and tubing is a thing of a past!

For use with motherboards with PCIe x16 slots 20.3 mm (0.8") apart!

it is a standard stock item that EK designed for that 7 gamers 1 pc build but anyone can get one.

that is pure art right there.......Awesome work..

Yay, i got it all plumbed and pump is running for leak test with distilled watter only right now. Lots of air bubbles.

Welp major malfunction.... right as i was placing the paper towels around other fittings the main output of the pumps blew off the gpu block and pumped atleast 1.5 leters of water before i could get to the power switch powering just the pumps. But dont worry the vast majorty of the water was pumped out of the case as i was there to divert the pipe as you'll see below.



Now i'll dry everything really good tonight, have a fan on the case, and try again tomorrow.

Edit: on second thought, i think i'll change that connection such that it will use the clear flex tubing. that is the one spot that has the highest pressure and the soft tubing fittings hold much better under pressure than the compression fittings for hard tubing. But i will have to wait till tuesday for 2 more fittings :/

SNAP
 
One of the reasons I have held off on the hard line craze; wonder how well those fitting held under pressure.

Somebody messed up when they did the FMEA
 
 

most of the water was pumpped out of the case but there was a decet amout ontop of the lowest GPU's backplate. i picked that up with a paper towel but any that splashed inbetween the backplate and the board that will simply have to evaperate over the 72 hour period that the box fan will be blowing air across it. once the new fittings arrive and i can replace that with the flex tubing more than enough time will have passed for the cards to be completely dry. also glad it happened with just distilied water and not later with my colored fluid.

i did that initially to make sure i got the bulk of all the water out with the paper towers. so now all thats left is the long wait for parts, though i will still keep that fan blowing on the case till i get the new parts just in case.

That is why i have an 8 core cpu. with proper cpu affinity management it wasnt bad at all with 4 gpu's. Hope it will be that way with 5 gpu's.

Also your ppd is low if you really have 5 1070's you should be over 3 million. You are basically getting the ppd of 4 1070's. So you either have a quadcore cpu, 28 lane cpu, or you put cards in pci-e x4 mobo slots.

Ali Man
CPU has got nothing to do with it since x99 CPU's don't have a built-in GPU, so using a d-GPU that's folding would definitely stutter at max load.
 
My PPD is fine, it's impossible to get all the same WU's that really give you a high PPD, that's why I used the term 'average'.

 
CPU has nearly just as much to do with it as your GPU. if you try and run 5 instances for FahCore21.exe on a quad core CPU your PC will be complete unresponsive. even on a 6 core CPU with proper affinity management 5 instances of FahCore21.exe will leave only 1 core for windows and all other apps. not to mention if you are running a 28 lane CPU your 5 GPU's will only be running in x8, x8, x4, x4, x4. meaning your PPD on 3 of your GPU's will be restricted due to poor bandwidth to your CPU.
 
if you didn't know F@H is not a GPU standalone application. it requires 1 physical CPU core per instance and good bandwidth for the data going to and from the CPU/GPU. and again for your PPD i was getting ~2.2 Million with my 4 1070's for over the 2 weeks i had them running, and that was with them not fully boosted due to poor thermals, 95C at times.
