Updated build thoughts/review?

The whole thing is B/S. Any thing over two 6950 are a waste of time/money and effort. Plus I dont even think a fourth 6950 would have room to fit in the botton PCIe slot, the 6950 is a double slot card and there is no room between the third and fourth slot. If you did manage to get it in (which I dont think you can) the third card would die with (no) air flow to the fan.

Lol, if you read my sig, I have 3 cards installed. I dont have time to post nonsense. I have a 4th I got for FREE, waiting in the wings to be used when I get the 3.9 ghz fx processor, along with a mb that has enough pcie for those cards. I can post a pic if you wanna take a look. Will the multiple 200mm high flow fans work for cooling?


I dont need to bs anyone, bruh. :D

didn't i post earlier the solution, you'll be much better off changing the coolers, they have replacements on newegg, and i believe they make watter blocks you can put on, then you won't have to worry about the clocks, and i'd say you should just sell 2 of those things.
 
Like I said, any thing over two 6950 are a waste of time/money and effort. Show off factor with no performance benefit can be a pain cant it. Kinda like putting a Holley 750 double pumper on a lawn mower. Looks good but the damn thing runs hot and doesnt seem to go any faster.
 
they should help, yes, but really you should at least dissable the hot one untill you cool it, otherwise that 4th will be used, and the 3rd will be gone forever, unless you get the warranty that is, but depending on the models, the ice q or whatever might have the best cooling, so move them around so the one with the best cooling is the one in the hottest spot.
 
Yeah the ice q is the closest to cpu, its also the hottest, assuming msi afterburner reads the closest card as gpu 1. Ill have the fans tomorrow and I literally just finished building it yesterday. I highly doubt the card is going to blow up with one night of use. Its not like theyve been running like this for months. I appreciate feedback tho.

well if you have any small fans you can open it up and blow it in there for now, that's the red-neck/ghetto fix :P
 
So I mounted 3 220mm red led coolermaster fans, and a 90 mm 70 cfm fan in the gpu fan dock. I have already mounted an 80cfm fan to push in air into h60, and there is of course an additional 220mm fan in the front of case pulling air in. So i now have 4 fans pushing air into pc and 2 fans as exhaust at the top. Gpu 1 currently idles at 44C, Gpu 2 at 41c and Gpu 3 at 34c. Pretty good for being absolutely sandwiched in the case. What do you guys think? I bought a 110 cfm fan for gpu dock to provide better cooling. I'll post again once i receive it and install is completed. Also just ran furmark and the hottest the gpus got was 64c. Not bad

Im gonna take one card out, bottle necking cpu. Runs smooth then theres these occasional hiccups. Am I mistaken, but is it better to oc the bus on amd cpu?
