So, I had already built an X99 Micro 2 build with 980ti's but never got around to posting it. I ended up giving it to my oldest son and have been playing on my Z97 as of late. My #2 son decided to go all out and do an identical build and I decided to match it.
After some thought and consideration I have decided to rename the rigs. As we all know Wrinvert passed a few weeks back and he was a good friend of mine. He is also the first one to welcome me to the EVGA community as well as teach me the wonders of water cooling. So in his honor my rig will be named after him and the boy will pick his own name out. From here on out my rig will be called Wrinvert.
