New GTX 980 + EK water block = unhappy Bart (because EK!)

[Bartacus]

Holy hell this thing runs cool! I just did some Furmark torture testing, and the GPU didn't go over 33C. Plus there are several other benefits running one 980 over 2 AMD 7950s:

1) my flow rate has increased from 2.9/3.1 up to 3.4LPM
2) no more cycloning in my reservoir
3) amazing drop in power consumption (to be expected)

Now if only I could figure out how to get a proper night shot of this light panel! This was the best I could do in regard to how the panel looks in real life:

That's great Bart !
As for the mess, you should see my garage ! I can top your bench any day of the week.

I won't comment on your rig yet _ not until I present something of my own and have some credibility.

And the 980's are an impressive piece of engineering !

Jeff, you can comment all you like. My rig is a hot MESS and I know it. P.S. that "bench" was my kitchen table.

Finally got a semi-better night pic. Holy crap I suck with cameras! Here's a better representation of all the red:


EDIT: Photobucket kinda butchered that one. I give up!
