Believe Me, I KNOW I would be one step further (i.e.,Back into the Insanity of the Coldness!) if I put the Chiller on the CPU/GPU's and MB..., But for that to happen, I would Definitely have to find one HELL of a Deal on at the VERY Least Four "Standard" GTX 780's (air cooled or possibly Hydro Copper's) before I would even Think about removing/selling the Four GTX 560 Ti Classified 448 cores I'm using now that only cost me $305 for all Four on Ebay!
 
There is No Doubt in My Mind that even with Four "Lowball" GTX 780's on Chilled Water, I would "Annihilate" my previous Chilled Water 4-Way SLI GTX 580 Classified Ultra's Benchmarks (Albeit at a Rather Hefty Price compared to what I am using Now), Although I'm Still not Beyond Dreaming that Someone (or some Company ) may let me "Test" their New Products in the Future as has happened to certain select person(s)/group(s) in Ye 'Ol Benchmarking days gone by.

I've followed both of these threads i guess since they started. And now I wanna play with my 920 some more.
 
I've never done any LN2 though. Would it be worth it to try it on my current rig or wait a few months when I upgrade to X99?

As far as deciding whether/when I'll switch over to a Chilled Water System again.....All I can say right now is I'm still having quite a bit of Fun with just Room Temperature Cooling Water on This Rig!

LOL!, During December 2013 I Bid on (and Won) them One-at-a-time in 4 different Ebay Auctions over a period of 3 weeks, But Now I have Re-Sold them again on Ebay (at a Slight Profit) and have Now Purchased Two EVGA GTX 780 Classifieds on the EVGA MarketPlace from Dentnu over last weekend, which I am Now Testing in 2-Way SLI (on Air First) to see how much difference there is between the 560 Ti 4-Way (Water Cooled) Setup and the 780 2-Way (Air Cooled) Setup Benchmark Scores using Vantage for Comparison to start with right Now.
 
If All goes Well, Later on I may be converting these Two 780's over to Water, Testing them again and then POSSIBLY think about an additional Two more 780 Classifieds all together in a 4-Way Water Cooled arrangement..................(Addition of the Chiller may be Pending after those Results are in!)

OK, The First Comparison Test between my previous Four GTX 560 Ti Classified 448 core's in 4-Way SLI on Ambient Water Cooling / OC'd MAX to 900MHz/2100Mem, and Two STOCK GTX 780 Classifieds in 2-Way SLI on Air Cooling shows that the 780's Score Slightly higher in 3DMark Vantage Bench Testing (So Far Looking Very Promising Indeed!)

Whoops!, I had the Bios set on "LN2" on that Benchmark!

I forgot to switch the Dual Bios to "Normal" before that Comparison run and Now it has gained a 3000+ Points Higher Score (Still Stock settings on Air)....

Ya'll want to Know Something that Sux?
 
I Guess I have been away from the Forums Too long, Because NOW I found out that if I were to try and go 4-Way SLI with Four GTX 780's (Instead of Four TITAN's), I will NOT be able to run them in 4-way SLI due to the fact that EVGA/NIVIDIA has REMOVED the ability to use it with GTX 780's as stated in the Forums Here: http://forums.evga.com/tm.aspx?m=1948669#2096180
 
I have seen a lot of problems with MB's and Vid Cards over the Years, But THIS is B******T!!
 
The Only GOOD thing about this Mess is the Fact that I didn't Buy FOUR of the GTX 780 Classified's Yet, and Now I KNOW I won't!
 
I'll just try to be "Content" using Two GTX 780 Classified's in my 762 4-Way Motherboard!
 
PS:
Also, I Thank GOD I didn't Buy Four GTX 780 Classified Hydro Coppers, and Don't count on me purchasing Four $1K+ TITAN's just to be able to use 4-Way SLI!
