I never overclocked a thing in my life. After about 2 weeks of reading and watching tutorials that never seemed to work right and lots and lots of tweaks and testing
I managed to get 6th in the world overall in 3DMark Firestrike. Not far from 4th but got tired of rebooting and wanted to enjoy my computer. That and the wife
and kids were starting to wonder where I was all the time.. lol

    Grats on the hall of Fame mate!!! 
    GTX Titans are the best VGA cards on the market, period.
     
    Sweet setup man Lots of hours, patience and passionate work has been stuck in to this! That is something I clearly can see
     
    What I'd like to see, is how this system does BarsWF x64 CUDA, just remember to disable SLI before running BarsWF x64 CUDA
    BarsWF x64 CUDA is pure research to me, to see how various NVIDIA GPGPU's perform, and it's easier to compare their raw real time computing power too
     
    If willing to run this for me, could you please post your results here:
    http://forums.evga.com/FindPost/1834872
     
    All the info you need and the download link for BarsWF x64 CUDA is all explained in the first post
    This research on how four GK110-400-A1's perform in Single and Double Precision would be very interesting, I really hope you can help here, that would be of the greatest honor!

    That looks like it took some time and effort to do that. Nice job.          




     
    Thanks, It was a a lot of fun to build. To be honest the build itself didn't take that much effort. Learning how to do all the waterblocks and such took some research but to be honest
    I spent most of my time trying to figure out the best way to overclock it. Well that and my first motherboard took a crap on me and had to wait for a new one.
     
    Speaking of that. I heard lots of people say to build your system out of the box and run it first before you install it and put water to it. I was feeling lazy and almost didn't do it. Boy,
    am I glad I did because I had a bad motherboard.

    I'll look into it. Not sure what exactly BarsWF is. I'm really swamped getting ready to leave town and then I'll be gone most of next week. So it may be a few weeks
    and I'll probably check it out and see how it does

    Oh it only takes a few minutes, depending on how fast your system is and I am sure your is lightning fast, for a desktop hehe
    It's a program that uses CUDA to calculate MD5 Hashes per second, which I find ideal to compare various CUDA based GPGPU's with each other and it makes all that Futuremark stuff of no need.not interest.
     
    This is a real time benchmarking tool which is used a lot at 2CPU.com, a place where I come from, to determine real time system performance in combination with CUDA.
     
    GeForce, Quadro & Tesla GPGPU's are all supported.
     
    After Downloading it just run the the apps for like 2 minutes then press print screen, press spacebar to end the app, and upload your results in that thread, nothing much to it

    You're sig quote is great! What monitor do you use for 4k and what games if there are any come in a 4k option?
    Was just at Best Buy looking at 4k TV's.. the picture is just WOW!     For monitor I'm using a Samsung 120Hz 27"

    I managed to get 6th in the world overall in 3DMark Firestrike. Not far from 4th but got tired of rebooting and wanted to enjoy my computer. That and the wife

    FireStrike Hall of Fame!
     

     
     
     




    so what are your gpus overclocked to? Im a bit confused for several reasons.
     
    1) your psu must be hella superior to the SuperNova because this thing is barely running my titans at stock.  A mild overclock and furmark kills my pc instantly.  benchmark restarts are random.  Hopefuly evga sees this and compares the two because for 450 dollars im certainly not getting my psu's worth.  Its not running what it was freaking designed to run!
     
    2)  With my haswell overclocked to the gills (1.45v) and my titans at stock (cant overclock them unfortunately until I buy a second psu apparently) I get like 17k during firestrike.  This means one of two things.  Either your using LN2 on everything or overclocking gpu's is worth 10,000 3dmarks which is absolutely nuts to me.
     
    congratulations on the high placement, I had aspirations of a top 10 spot myself but its not going to happen considering this psu is quivering with no overclock at all on the cards.  its too bad really.  I spent every raw cent I could afford on this and when I was done, I felt such relief that I wouldn't have to do it again for years.  Of course now im broke and I am wondering if everyone hating on the nex1500 was right.  Shoulda gotten the LEPA, now I have to buy it anyhow.

    so what are your gpus overclocked to? Im a bit confused for several reasons.
     
    1) your psu must be hella superior to the SuperNova because this thing is barely running my titans at stock.  A mild overclock and furmark kills my pc instantly.  benchmark restarts are random.  Hopefuly evga sees this and compares the two because for 450 dollars im certainly not getting my psu's worth.  Its not running what it was freaking designed to run!
     
    2)  With my haswell overclocked to the gills (1.45v) and my titans at stock (cant overclock them unfortunately until I buy a second psu apparently) I get like 17k during firestrike.  This means one of two things.  Either your using LN2 on everything or overclocking gpu's is worth 10,000 3dmarks which is absolutely nuts to me.
     
    congratulations on the high placement, I had aspirations of a top 10 spot myself but its not going to happen considering this psu is quivering with no overclock at all on the cards.  its too bad really.  I spent every raw cent I could afford on this and when I was done, I felt such relief that I wouldn't have to do it again for years.  Of course now im broke and I am wondering if everyone hating on the nex1500 was right.  Shoulda gotten the LEPA, now I have to buy it anyhow.

    Klepp, without knowing any of your components other than you have what sounds like 4 titans I cant really be much help. I'm curious what CPU, motherboard and RAM you have?
     
    I can tell you that my 1500 isn't quite enough for what I'm pushing.  When I was OC'n I was pretty sure that many of my failures had to do with lack of power. I wont know for sure until
    I try to add more power. I just got a LEPA1600 that natively supports 4 video cards. I'm out of town for a week so it will be awhile before I can actually try it out. 
     
    Are your cards watercooled? LN2 huh? lol I wouldn't even know where to start. I'm far from an expert on overclocking and pretty much just learned by doing it and I"m still lost on most of it.
    My cards have a higher base clock as they were the "super clocked" model. So if you want to do that math you can. I got good results with the following. 116/140 130/140 130/546. The voltages
    and power are maxed. But, I crashed many of times to find my sweet spots and I'm sure a lot of it had to do with lack of power.
     
    Make sure you run the extra power to the motherboard that it may require depending on your model. Also, make sure you have SLI enabled :P
     
    If you look at firestrike there is a clear difference on the guys with LN2. They are thousands above the rest of us. 4-10 is all relatively close in score.
     
    As a note, with my setup that worked well on Firestrike I was also able to run Heaven an do well. However, when I tried 3DMark11 or some others I would crash right away. I just got tired
    of making changes and rebooting to try to get good results on everything and settled for those two.
     
    Hopefully the xtra power makes a difference. Can't wait to set it up.
     
    Good luck and hope you find what's holding you back

    Hello,
     
    I know this thread is very old and the op has not been active in a long time. However, this has been the only time I have ever seen anyone use the following res pump combo
     
    EK-SBAY Dual DDC 3.2 PWM Serial
     
    I have been searching and searching and cannot find anyone else with comments about it. I see you used the exact one that I am interested in using in my build. Can you give me any details, especially since you used a tube res also. How did it compare, did you have any problems with turbulance, what speed did you usually run the pumps. would you use it again if you had a build that would be very tough to fit a tube res into. do you have any more pictures of it installed from the front and the back.
     
    Thanks for your response if you see this, or anyone else that has experience with this combo.

    I would have sent a PM but since Its a new account it wouldn't let me.
