The Cosmos SR-X- Factor

I think you can put only one 3960x and leave the other socket empty but it kills the whole point of owning one of these bad boys. Xeons have dual QPI and the desktop variants have single QPI hence the reason you can only put two xeons and not two 3960x's

Someone correct me if i'm wrong

ah ok, that makes a lot of sense. I honestly haven't seen why Mobo's haven't gone dual socket, CPU & GPU and had Dimms for each.... surely that would open up the market and customisation.

 

[SmoulderingCircuits]

it would but only if the software supports it. F@H does but rendering software doesn't support consumer gpu's :'(

I'm wondering though if you can go quad sli+ quad sli for dedicated physx

Not sure where you're installing that 8th card to but ah well...

They should make it so you can process a single work unit with the combined processing power of 7x 590s (14x underclocked 580s) and 4x 16 core CPUs . . . . .

The QRB isn't even worth thinking about!! You'd need a private line just to upload it within the 15 second window between WUs!

Notice he said Quad Sli, not 4-way Sli. just a hint

If you put 7 590/ 690s in there, would it run? (no SLI, just to render with)

you just gave me an idea for a future build

(far future

)

£10k server blades? Yeah, got twenty of them, found them in a box next to the Freddos at the offy, y'know.

All the cool kids are buying them.

2x dual gpus= quad Sli

4x single gpus=4-way Sli

4x dual gpus= quad + quad for physx

 

[SmoulderingCircuits]

2x dual gpus= quad Sli

4x single gpus=4-way Sli

4x dual gpus= quad + quad for physx

Okay, I get it now

Still waiting on a few parts to arrive so decided to crack out the laser guided fret saw and make a new bezel for the reservoir complete with the EVGA X logo that will be back lit so the red edges glow.

Started by sticking some red 3mm plexi to an offcut of 1.5mm aluminium then applying the X template which is split down the middle so actually made things a little easier.

Anyway, cut both of the X bits out followed by a bit of filing and sanding the edges then moved on to a bit of 5mm gloss black plexi that will fit into the entire drive bay section of the Cosmos II – marked a rectangle and cut that out......bit more filing and sanding the edges and that’s about it really – sorry it wasn’t a bit more interesting.

Oh yeah, one of the GTX680 Hydro Copper Cards also tuned up which look really nice and just waiting on the other to arrive

 

[SieB]

That bezel looks awesome Coolmiester, the EVGA Hydro Copper 680 don't look too bad either

 

[PEXON]

Red Hyper-X sets it off nice too. Good job on the logo, looks nice and clean.

 

[The Orange One]

Love The X Sign

 

[Solidarity]

This is looking whatever is beyond amazing.

 

[yassarikhan786]

Wow, the X logo looks amazing, nicely done

 

[alicarve]

looking good

 

[coolmiester]

Cheers for the feedback

Just quickly had to mount 4 red LEDS to the reverse side to see if the red plexi was going to glow OK and all looks well considering these were taken in day light so should look much better at events where it always tends to be darker.

 

[Solidarity]

I'd love to see the glow in the dark, if that was possible. I'm sure it'll look fantastic though.

 

[dipzy]

Awesome work so far mate, great modding skills as always

 

[The Orange One]

The RED LEDS Make it look Amazing, I Bet it looks BAWSS in the Darkness

 

[yassarikhan786]

You can tell it will look awesome in lower light conditions. Would love to see some pics in lower light if possible
