Tomorrow, plan to use air-cooling so I can install OS and do a short burn in. Geno said the fittings should be at his place this week so my place the week after. Also waiting on the Mayhems coolant and replacement PCI-E cable then it is all here (we have a 580 instead of 570 so we need an 8 pin and 6 pin instead of two six pins )
I saw the pictures on FB with you out and about with family. You have no idea how much family means until they are all gone. My post was a banter between me and Cheaps. No reflection on you. Cheaps and I go WAY back. The boy built a waterblock for me with no electricity in the middle of a hurricane. Drill press by hand? Friendship.

I was wondering how the res would fit in thinking it would cover a good bit of the motherboard, just shift the gpu lower, of course.

It is an awesome feature for the rig & would have definitely been a shame for it to be hidden.

@John, I hope you are as well as you can be and though i have nothing material to offer, (very poor and struggling to pay bills atm sorry ), i send you my best wishes.

Thx to you all.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I don't think you should mount that graphics card in the secondary slot. Most 1155 boards will only give the second slot 8 PCI-E lanes whether or not the first slot is populated, I'm checking the documentation for the board you're using (GIGABYTE GA-P67X-UD3-B3 right?) and it seems to be the case with this one as well.

Any way to mount it on the lower cage just above the floor radiator? could make wire management and tube routing a pain but it looks like it would fit.

Show me tests that indicate an appreciable difference between 8 and 16

Yay! You chose the spot I suggested. Are you going to also create a bracket like the one I sketched for you?

Interesting, I hadn't seen an article on the topic before. As a computer science major I would not have thought the bandwidth was so unnecessary, if you cut the bandwidth of the RAM link in two, you see an immediate 50% performance loss. I'll be moving my graphics card now, it's blocking the airflow of 5 case fans because I assumed it needed to be in slot 1.

as a former software engineer I can tell you the bandwidth is not saturated When I am not modding I also work events for ASUS and NVIDIA so I try to keep up with details like this as I give a ton of advice out while on the road.

It makes a lot of sense now that I think about it. I know that when they make new format standards they make sure there is enough room to grow (the latest gen of CF memory cards' firmware can address a petabyte-scale capacity), I just didn't really think about how much throughput each lane could deliver.

HURRAY FOR LEARNING!!

Its very touching to see an online community come together like this.
I just wish that I had some hardware that I could give towards the build, unfortunately it all seems to be sorted out.
