    I'll take the risk. The other cards had the Black screen of death issue which if you look on google is a very well documented issue. I'll go with Matts reccomendation and up my volts a tad and see how it plays out before commiting.

    But all being well, I'm happy to invest in a H80i so I can use the card to it's full potential.

    Even at 4K games won't scale past 3 cards really.

    Indeed, a german website (computerbase.de) had tested Haswell-E with 1, 2, 3 and 4 290X in various games at 4K and while scaling from one to two cards was good beyond that diminishing returns took a heavy toll:

    That's why I said multi-GPU and not Quad-GPU. Quad GPU set ups accomplish nothing really unless you need that much power for folding, rendering or editing. Two GTX 780tis or 290x's will play 4K, not much return at 3 or 4.

    Some games do, but i hear what you're saying. Actually i think it would be cool if i did some basic testing in this. Test out at 4K how much scaling i get in percentage terms going from 1/2/3/4 gpu's. What do you reckon?

    Just thinking off hand i could test

    Dirt Showdown
    Sleeping Dogs
    Tomb Raider
    Thief
    Sniper Elite V2

    Other suggestions welcome.

    I will test games that have a consistent and repeatable in game benchmark, to make things easy. I could also test some synthetics like Firestrike and Unigine.

    Sorry, I'll get my coat...

    If I wanted to show multi GPU scalability I'd choose Battlefield 4 (which I appreciate doesn't have a repeatable benchmark), Crysis 3 (made by the guys who made the engine, which is really a showcase FOR the engine, so you'd hope for best case scalability) and something like Metro Last Light, which is an interesting case and a problem for just about any setup going, with volumetric fog, parallax mapping etc. These are the games that really push today's systems. I'd say in a years time when Star Citizen has a stable build, that'll be a good benchmark too, as its a fully fledged branch of Cryengine, built for tomorrows GPUs, but we aren't there yet.

    Battlefield 4 has a system memory leak at the moment under Mantle, so won't be choosing that. Crysis 3, good shout indeed so will add that one. Though consistency will be a problem because of a lack of a benchmark sequence, however it is very demanding so a good shout. Metro last light is a poor choice though, it does not scale much past two gpu's at all regardless of resolution used. An engine limitation sadly.

    I enjoy that cases layout, sick of the standard tbh, with that in mind though I'm on a mission to abolish the 5.25 bay :D

    Maybe once I get some better hardware I might do away with the 5.25 Bays and convert them into a decent space for a Rad with a WC set-up. or a couple of 140mm's

    The case itself has a stock built in fan controller, for 2 fans (I use a splitter also)
    4 x 120mm fan slots, (1 was aftermarket) 5 HD bays, 7 flex 5.25" bays ( I use 1 blu ray an intake fan and a card reader)
    It can also take 2 x PSU's and plenty of space left for all the good stuff like GPU's and a decent cooler.
    Me and the gf love it's classy unassuming look without a window, pity you don't get to oggle any nice hardware it might get put inside it!

    It wasn't directed purely at your case, I just think they're outdated, the case I bought today has 2 :( but hard to find for any lowish price a case with none, every case I own/make afterward will have room for one slim slot drive and that's it xD

    Decent idea with the reservoir, I plan to do it to the case mentioned above once it fulfilled it purpose, using the bays as a bracket, can do all sorts of artsy thing with it visible from the front.

    Though it has been sitting there looking sad for a couple of years now - really must re-start that.

    There's not much to see on the outside of my rig, it's just a stock Node 304. So here is the tightly knit jungle inside:

    One major advantage I've found to having a fanless PSU is the lack of dust that finds its way in these days :)
