WOW! That is awesome you still using your chiller ? Any chance you can post a pic of your whole setup ?
 
Thanks  

ATM it doesn't look Pretty, But It's Functional enough for my Testing/Benching Needs!

Halloween, how is your performance? I'm waiting on a cross shipment RMA for mine... Sucky. Not stable at stock, and increasing voltage worsens it. How's yours?

I've skipped the Stock Air Cooling Testing and got the Two Classifieds in 2-Way SLI up and running on Water Cooling right out-of-the-box this evening at Factory Stock Clocks So I haven't really had a chance yet to do any more testing at higher Clocks/Voltages, Plus I still have to eventually try the 3rd party Bios's along with the Classy Voltage Tool software and then test with the EVBot Controller once I get the P37 Firmware flashed for use with the Classifieds.
 
IMO, and Judging from past experience I think they would have some of the same problems like my previous GTX 780Ti Classified Kingpin Editions did on just the Factory Air Cooling, So that is why I went with at least the Water Cooling before I start really pushing for Higher Clocks/Voltages, But more Testing will determine how much that will help.  
 
  

I planned to start testing mine on air only, today but it looks like it will be next week before I get started, But will run the same benchmarks on stock settings and slowly start cranking them up to compare temps. will be interesting to see what 4 of these will do on water and an amped bios.
 
awesome so far.

Very curious to hear the results of that.
 
I'd assume neither of you have any issues increasing your voltage then. Just wanted to double check.
 
I definitely plan on going under water the moment there's a nice fc block out for it. Hopefully that won't take too long!

I Agree, And Hopefully I can eventually Find/Purchase Two more for 4-Way SLI Testing/Benching, But You already Know how hard that can be!

 
UPS tried to deliver my Classified at 12:30 pm, but no one got home until 1 PM. I'm thinking to myself, "it figures". Now I have to wait until Monday.

keep an eye on everything Jacob posts, maybe he will drop you some "breadcrumbs" to follow

Finally your upgrade is close.
GTX980 Classified look almost same as GTX780Ti Classified without cooler.

It's here.
Stock clock 3d mark 12506 http://www.3dmark.com/fs/3111793
ASC 2.0 SC for comparison was 12248 http://www.3dmark.com/fs/3025596
 
"Mild" for Classy overclock +104 clock, +500 memory 13819 http://www.3dmark.com/fs/3111853
And I feel there is much, much more, I didn't even have to crank up fans speed.
 
 

Another interesting observation, the temp on stock fan profile (BIOS 1) was hovering around 75-78 but fans never went over 38%, super quiet.
Actual clock was rock stable at 1522 and one more, the reported GPU power was in 78% area, when on GTX 980 ACX 2.0 SC at the same same base clock increment it was getting into 125% (max TDP) at which point it was heavily throttling back, of course fans were up at 100% manual to keep it from crashing.
