[Project Log] "eNVy" - Custom 1-Off Parvum, 5960x, GTX 980s

[MunneY]

HOWDY!



So, its about that time of year again when I get the itch to build something. This build has actually been in the planing stages for about 3 months, if not more. I am going to keep certain parts of the build secret until i get to the point where I reveal them. You can expect the full compliment of pictures to be done, along with Videos where I can. There definitely will be one done on the case, and one for atleast 2 other parts :-D

I don't yet have the case in hand, but I do have most of the core components. I'm still waiting to hear back from a couple of people to wrap this up. Did I mention that this build is Sponsored!??!?!

Is that a scratch build case?, if it is, then please post a build log for that case because it look very cool

Its completely custom. Parvum took an idea and made it a reality

Yeah, seems to be tons of us now. But this one should have more than one thing that makes it different from the rest!

UPDATE TIME!!!

So for this build I wanted to have monster power in a mini package, Enter the EVGA X99 Micro. Pairing this with a 5960x is going to give me all the power I could want and the form factor to keep everything compact.

So, without further delay!



























These last few pictures are also VERY VERY important. They will bring to light the first of the big surprises of this build.












Three Full Size PCI-E 3.0 Slots... in all their X16 Glory!










And the actual surprise?!








Thank you guys for your support. Can't tell you how much it means to me. None of this would be possible without ya'll

And a HUGE thanks to EVGA-JacobF and the EVGA Team!

That is AWESOME.

Aren't the two bottom PCIe slots single spaced on that board? Isn't that going to make 3-way SLI difficult with those cards? Just thinking out loud, and subbing at the same time, lol. I can't wait to see how you fit it all together.

Hard... No
Work... Yes

 

[ATMINSIDE]

Could have used the K|NGP|N and converted to single slot without any work

 

[EarthDog]

I think they are being watercooled anyway... so single slot with a block.

Not on the outputs
Going to have to cut off a DVI port and shave the bracket down to a single slot.

That's what I was talking about. And like you said, there are other options that reduce to single slot without cutting stuff up, lol. Regardless, it's going to be a sick rig!

I thought about Kingpin cards, but 1. there arent blocks for them. 2. they are only EK

EK is already working on the block, it'll show up soon.
Just saying it would keep you from mutilating a GPU or three.

Couldn't he also used a 16x-16x pci-e riser?

Most likely won't have an extra slot to move downward into with an mATX case.
