Intel CPU NVIDIA Graphics NVIDIA SLI Custom Paint Job Water-cooled
System Specs:
  • Intel Core i7 920 D0 @ 4 Ghz 1,24v
  • ASUS P6T Deluxe
  • 3x2GB Corsair Dominator TR3X6G1600C8D @ 1600 Mhz 7-7-7-24-1T
  • Gainward GTX 295 Quad SLi
  • 2 x WesternDigital VelociRaptor 150 GB (RAID 0)
  • PSU Cooler Master 1000W
  • Case Enermax Uber Chakra
Performed Mods:
I've added many LED lights (blue and red) that can be turned on or off thanks to a switch put on the cover of a 5,25" bay. I've added 6 NEON lights (1 blue, 1 red, 4 green) controlled by another switch. The two 120mm FANs near the VGAs are controlled by two switches. I've cut and painted the plexiglass sidepanel. I've used only LED FANs.
Problems with the peltier cell and frequencies higher than 3,6 Ghz. Working on it. You can see the temperatures @ stock frequency in one of the last images. I've created a small unit (last image) thanks to a Micro-ATX case where is located the PSU for the peltier cell. There are also three switches to turn on/off the secondary PSU, the liquid cooling system and the peltier cell. Instructions and labels are in italian, my native language. Sorry about that! :-) They say that you've to turn off your computer, than the peltier cell, than after five mintues the liquid cooling system and at last the secondary PSU. This to prevent the CPU to get damaged.

I still have the stock coolers on them but I'm saving to buy two EK waterblocks. They are quite expensive :-(

I wonder how do you say that they are expensive when you can afford two GTX 295 and a Core I7... joke.


Anyway i give 8/10 simply awesome setup.

Correct me if Im wrong, but when you say Quad SLI, I assume that you mean 2x 295's, 2cores in each, so Quad SLI? Or are you running 4x 295's?

Quad SLi means four GPUs... Every GTX 295 has two GPUs.... So Quad SLi means two GTX 295...

For folding you can run four Nvidia or ATi cards. Those cards aren't running in SLI. SLI is limited to four GPU's on two cards, Tri GPU SLI, or dual GPU SLI.

Considering that two GTX 295 need around 600W, what about that rig? :-D It needs around 6900W just for the VGAs!

At any rate those VGAs are used for F@H, but you can't run more than two of them in SLi.

the words he used were "put" and not use in sli ; )
I think in one of his videos he said it uses 7,000W continuously (24/7)

Considering that GTX 295 normally runs with 85 90 degrees in game ( fan set at 100%!!! ) how much heat will produce 23 of them ?
