well you will have to keep in mind that all these GPU's will be running on Gen3 x8 PCI-E lanes, so there is a performance hit over running them individually. but yes once i get these puppies cooled down so they are not throttling and throw that 5th one in i think 3mill is within reach.

Very impressive build so far!
 
Interested to see the speeds, temps and output when you finish the build.

ps - and of course the cosmetics - it looks killer as is!

just got my kill-a-wat meter back from a friend and put it on this rig. its only pulling 700W while folding! i know there is only 4 GPU's right now until the water blocks are made for this card but i was still expecting to see ~900W with 4 and about 1100 with 5.

Pulling 700W folding with my 4790K & 2 EVGA Titan X SC - signature build.
 
That also includes a modem & router
 
Maybe its my water pump or 13 fans

@1460MHz 4 GTX 980HC pull 820 Watts and the CPU is Pulling 380 Watts.
This Rig has two separate PSU, one for the 4 GPUs and the one for the rest. 
@1050MHz 3 GTX Titans + CPU take over 980 Watts to Fold. Dark Titan
At one point I had 4 GTX 690 Cards running with 3 PSU on two separate circuit breakers 3 UPS Units pulling 1820 Watts.

well at this rate if 1080ti's do make it to market with a 250W TDP i can replace 3 of the 1070's and still have plenty of power supply head room. i was really expecting a good bit more which is why i got the 1600W PSU... but hay, im just sitting on the peak of the efficiency curve right now

Yep! It seems with each new generation the wattage goes down and the PPD goes up.
Sad that we have a Forum Member that stated that they are Not Going to Release a Ti Version of the GTX 1080.
Because of this I will not be getting any 108x series Graphics Cards. So we will have to wait to see what the 109x will do.

honestly with all the news on nvidia they may release a whole new series by Q2 next year. its just my opinion as to why they rushed all the GPU releases for this series.

That is what has had me not getting a another 1070 for my other rig.  I figure something new might hit to compete against ATI launch this fall.  If something new comes out I will put it on the rig on my desk and put the 1070 in with the other one in the living room.

welp, got my custom sleeved cables in the mail today and got them installed take a look at the before and after:
 
 
 
now it looks a lot better but these dual 6+2pin VGA power cables from CableMod are very disappointing. with a cable specifically designed for this single purpose one would think they would have done a better job with the second 6+2pin, but its disgusting.
 

 
all the cables are exactly the same length, so getting a good arch is impossible, AND they criss-cross each other non-uniformly. so, this will set me back another $50 to get the tools to fix this and remake those second 6+2pin. and i may also buy the connectors to make all them 8pin instead of 6+2pin while i'm at it.
