Playtime

Oh My! I thought the 800D was big, this Elysium looks massive!

Nice work mate!
thank you this and the 800D about the same size just a little longer
this is (W)230 x (H)618 x (D)663 mm
800D is(W)229 x (H)609 x (D)609 mm

think I'm going to be in love with the postman bringing me toys like this

and he brought me 2 of each of these on the same day
just had to wrap the backplates

a little screwdriver work later I got this to play with.
The best twins I've seen for a long while :):):):)

Unigine Heaven Benchmark 4.0 41 FPS:Score:1030 extreme
I noticed on Heaven it only loads one card hence score seems low any ideas why/what to do?
also as the only referance point I got is gtx 550ti sli are these figures any good?
after about 2 hours of Crysis 3 both cards sat at 42c and cpu was 56 to 61 across the cores
 
looking good.
I really like your crossfire waterblock connections, they must have been a pain to make.

'Edit' wait a second, why do you have two home made crossfire fittings?
that doesn't make sense, that will surely harm the flow in your waterblocks!

Your water cooled gpus should look more like this!

Your water should flow into the first gpu then the second gpu (cooled in series)

You have both your gpus cooled at the same time (Cooled in parallel) effectively halving the water flow rate inside each card. This can harm performance of a water cooling loop as your decreasing the amount of coolant passing through each gpu block per unit time, meaning there is less coolant passing to transfer heat into.

there are other issues with a parallel configuration but i will not bore you with the details

true but doesn't that give you warmer coolant arriving at the second block giving you different temps on each card?
 
No mate yours will be warmer. Because you are not forcing the flow round properly.

ok thanks next time its drained I'll sort it bit later the front rad is getting changed from 240 monster to 480 monster but not yet

as TTL has already said your method will be hotter, yes warmer coolant will be supplied to the second gpu but the difference in temps will be minimal.

Waste of money, should have just got better GPU's.

The bigger rad wont effect temps if you have built your current one properly.
