Hes not using 960's...
It looks like 960 but maybe it's 980... Who ever made that program with that font really messed up.... It's clearly really easy to misread.
Yea! That is why I posted that the Font was hard to read. It is a user selected Font.

with my elysium tower had the 220 mm on the blowing outward. Basically sucking the hot air out the case seen atleast 5-10 C drop in cards. with that tower i had to rearrange the fans and block holes with tape, to allow the build up of positive pressure. http://www.xigmatek.com/product.php?productid=122

yes. it is my font. I like ****ty fonts. I am sorry.. and the more I am reading this the more I get depressed. The thing is, when I bought my first 2 ones, I didn't think of getting 4. Then I decided to get 4 for the hell of it. I didn't think this would happen. Spending $1000+ on watercooling doesn't seem to be worth it for me since in 2 years I'll just buy new stuff. Of course if everything was compatible I would have long ago. OF course I would love to do it. Stephenk291
Get a big boy case ..something like the Corsair 900D. You spent nearly $2k on video cards..you can shell about another few hundred for a decent case.
each card was a little over $500? And I bought a new case since mine was really really small

Could always sell with the water blocks alot people on ebay are always looking to get cards with water blocks. not hard to mod solid panel cases. Drill and a template all you need

I have 4 980 EVGA cards. duel fan, lower power etc. was wondering how long could I play before they get super super hot and overheat? I played crysis to test it today since I just got my 4th card to complete my build and it was on fire. I didn't check temps or anything. ignore the ugly wiring etc.
the case is always open.
4way SLI and you're not watercooling? Yeah you'll be replacing 1 or more cards multiple times before the year is out

TT at OCD3 did a build w 4 980s(they were ref which will handle sli better than those ACX coolers) w a much better job of cable mgnt and a hella fan on top of the cards and he still said it would be ass for every day gaming use. U need to water-cool(as suggested above) or send those cards back get ref coolers a bigger case( one w fans on the side panel pref, just huge like the TT core9x that BC and I have, see build.) and then id still only use it for benching. I hope this isn't a serious post because if u put that much money into a build w/o putting in the research needed to ensure that the build was even practical.........

I forgot to mention. I won't be using this for every day gaming. or demanding gaming anyway.. I play warframe a lot or other games that don't make the video cards.... "suffer". So I am not a every day gamer who plays BF4 for four to eight hours a day..

My god man flashbacks of all the heat from the gtx 590's!!!!. ? What motherboard is that ? Also if you gonna go quad sli you should either add some custom fans that are silent too keep the case cool. I have 7 fans push and pull to keep my 3 gtx 980's cool but the top card went to 92 degrees so i was told to switch the Monitor connection to the third card which stays at 60 Woot!!.

I would add at least 6
Two each laid atop the gap between each two Graphics Cards.
between? how?
Kind of like this, I have One Fan on top.
How did you do that without damaging the cards i have extra 120mm silent fans sitting around i was wondering if i could do that also. Hell may just buy a 200mm fan that silent and mount in their to keep all the 3 gtx 980's cooler soon.

Rubber Fan Mounts and a little Silicone II 120 Fans might be to big.
