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)

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.

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. 
 
 

Had SERIOUS Black Screen Problems with the New 332.21 Drivers/Went Back to the 331.65 Drivers - No More Black Screens!!
Now Started Running Cards on Ambient Temperature Water Cooling......

Why do u think I stopped benching.  This consumes 100% of my free time.  Free time that I have taken from my family.  It got pretty bad a few months ago, so I put my family first.  Its lots of fun to do, but its demanding when so many ask so much of you.  There is a tremendous satisfaction helping folks out making blocks for boards and cards that don't have them readily available.  Its just hard to find a balance to please everyone. 
 

More videos of the machine in action.  1/2" carbide...vs Delrin...  The Delrin never had a chance.

WHOOOOOHOOOOOO..............
I thought when My EVGA X58 4X SLI Classified MB (762) Died this Morning (Along with My 28" Hanns-G Monitor!) that I had No Chance of Ever Topping My Old High 2012 Vantage Score, But I went ahead and threw My 759 together and used an Old 17" DELL Monitor just to see what would happen, and.................

I managed to Beat My Previous High Score in Vantage of P71718 in 2012 when the Rig I Had was a i7-980X at 4.818GHz with Four EVGA GTX 580 Classified Ultra's All of which were running at 0 Degrees (32F) Chilled Cooling Water.
Now, with an (Outdated?) EVGA X58 3X SLI Classified MB (759) using an i7-980 at 4.613GHz GHz with Two EVGA GTX 780 Classifieds on Ambient Cooling Water (No Chiller!), I have Topped that Score!
 
Happy Days are Here Again!   
 

Your mobo died?

EVGATech_DaveB
WOW, that is awesome, glad to hear it benched well for you!  Grats!

Thanks Dave, It Should get even Better with My Third GTX 780 Classified in 3-Way SLI!
 
In a Way, I'm Kinda Glad the 762 Died since I couldn't really use Four GTX 780 Classifieds without the "4-Way SLI FIX" that must be used with Older Drivers (320.49 and Lower!) and that would Severely Limit My Benching Scores!

Geeze, that's a great score!  You ever do runs w/o PhysX?  I usually do mine that way, so I was curious.
 
But keep pushing it, and sooner or later, it will be time to bust out the Chiller again, and I'm looking forward to it.

....And another Quick One without Physics just to back it up....

LOL!, I'm having Too Much Fun on Ambient Cooling Water, and Besides, My Electric Bill would SKYROCKET with the Chiller!
 
Here's One More run with No Physics (Gaining a Little More Each Time.....)
