Buy my classified and pick up some more


Well, Unfortunately As I have stated in the Previous Posts, EVGA has informed me that the GTX 780 Classified will ONLY Run up to 3-Way SLI and was NEVER Physically Designed from the Day it was introduced to work in a 4-Way SLI arrangement, So it is beginning to look like I will be Selling MY two GTX 780 Classifieds Also!
 
I am now waiting for a reply from EVGA on just Exactly WHAT Four High-End Graphics Cards I need to Buy to be able to use 4-Way SLI (with the Latest AND Upcoming Future Graphics Drivers) in Both My Current 762 4X and a Dark X79 MB.
 
In the Meantime, It Looks Like My Fifth 4-Way SLI Benching Rig Construction Plans are on Hold Indefinitely!

Guess who is getting it colder still:

me.
 
in TYPICAL ghetto fashion.  Affix an old video card heatsink to your stepper motor.. and BAM.  Now I can get over 100 inches per minute.  (and eliminate resonance to get back to making some waterblocks)

That's Pretty "Cool" Nate!,
Maybe You could make a Water Block for it and Add a Chiller for even Faster Speeds!
 
Seriously Though,
While I am waiting to see what "Product Fixes/Modifications/Recommendations" EVGA comes up with for All the Issues that seem to Abound in the Forums, I am Glad at Least You have Found a Product Solution that Actually WORKS Like it's Supposed to! LOL!

yea, it works like a charm.  I was making a rattler.  Basically a harmonic balancer for a stepper motor.

NOISY as hell, but it cuts down the motor resonance.  You can see the balls doing what they are supposed to do.
 
When using small bits, like cutting the O-rings in the blocks, I have to use slow speeds.  The slower speeds make the motor reach resonance.  Sort of like when your tires need balancing and the whole car shakes.  You can overcome it by going faster (just like when you go faster in your car the vibrating seems to go away), but I can't go faster when cutting copper with a 1/16" end mill.

Supposedly Yes, The GTX 780 Ti /Ti KSE /TITAN All have the "Capability" for 4-Way SLI (Although That Statement COULD be Changed at any Moment by NVIDIA), But if You Read through the Forums, even THOSE Cards are having Numerous BIOS/Driver Problems in either Single/2/3 or 4-Way SLI, and I'm Still Watching the Forums to see Which 4-Way Graphics Card Setup works with the Least amount of Problems before I Spend the High $$$$ for the Retail Price of Not Only the Cards themselves, But Also the Costs of the Waterblocks and Other "Accessories" that are needed to Operate Them to Their Full Potential.

Yeah, It IS rather Noisy, But it Looks like it Does the Job Well!
 
BTW: This is the First Time I have Seen All The Youtube Videos You have about showing Your Machine Works Operation, and after watching what You Go through to Manufacture All those Waterblocks from Scratch......., Even though I Don't Know what Prices You are asking for a Finished Product, I Think You should be Charging MORE for the Products, Because that Looks like it involves WAAAYYYY Too Much of Your Time/Work!

Yes, I have read that there is "another" New Updated BIOS for the GTX 780 Classified Ti Graphics Card (Notice it is Only Available to You if You Already OWN One!), and I am just going to wait and see How Good/Bad it works for everyone before I decide to Sell my "Standard" 780 Classys and spend the additional Higher cost of Four Ti /Ti KSE Cards/TITAN's/etc...
My Reasons I have is that Over the Years Here at EVGA since 2008, I have Almost Bought EVERY New Top-of-the-Line MB/VC and accessories for them that have been "Released" for Retail Sale that unfortunately for Me have more often than not resulted in Numerous RMA's for DOA/Failed New Products, so I have adapted to this by having a "Sit and Wait" Attitude instead of buying a product that is advertised to operate with a certain Setup and then finding out the Hard Way that it Won't operate as Stated.

Totally agree. Which is why I always wait to buy video cards. The 780s overall have a lot of problems
