The new machine toss again, GTX1080ti SLI installed experience

I have already posted a sticker before. At that time, the overall situation was quite satisfactory. Here is the address:

However, because it has not been installed for many years, it is very difficult to calm down once the heart has been moved. It is just a matter of issuing a new video card and deciding to dry him up. Try installing a dual-card SLI that has not been tried before. However, the idea is good, the reality is cruel, and the process is very tortuous.

After deciding on the dual-card SLI, I first purchased a new 1080i graphics card. This time, I chose Gigabyte. Anyway, the first public version was the same. In fact, I also considered buying a non-public employer. The public version of the book, secondly, I really didn't come to the aesthetics of the non-public. Although the non-public prices at the time were slightly lower

Two 1080ti, my heart is very happy at this moment

After installing the machine, I found out that the ROG gave the SLI HB an extremely ugly and ugly. Like a cardboard, it made me very unhappy. I quickly went to the store and found a NV factory SLI HB BRIDGE.

In fact, the major brand retail SLI HB BRIDGE looks not ugly, of which Gigabyte SLI HB BRIDGE is the cheapest, it should be unpacked, the price is only 100 years old, but considering the overall mix and light color I gave up the first The tripartite manufacturer recharged the original factory with a belief.

Unfortunately, the appearance is too ugly

Put on a new bridge I think I can finally play happily, but I found the problem again. I was lucky enough to try using the previous XTR 650W with 1080ti SLI. It turned out I was too young and the power supply looks like a video stress test. There was a strangely loud noise afterwards. The ears rang when the second owner took 1080ti: The young man would definitely change his power supply, and he did not believe we were walking.

Killed again to the physical store, to start a 1000w pirate ship RM1000X, warranty for 10 years, before the XFX sent back to repair here I have to mention, in fact, a lot of things in the store prices are very cheap, lower than the Jingdong even lower than Taobao are It is normal.

The overall power is not large, the fan comes with intelligent mode, low load does not turn.

The interface is full, it fully meets my needs

The included power cord is very hard, basically do not have to consider what beautiful

Compared to the previous power supply, it's a little bit longer

The power was bought, I think it should be the end, and then in the process of reinstalling, I once again encountered a problem

The power cord attached to the Corsair was too hard to smoothly route the P66E's alignment hole. I did not give up trying to use the previously purchased XFX module line and found that it could not be used and the hole position was incorrect. There are only two words in my heart: despair

No way I can only find a custom module line shopkeeper set a module line, and then silently wait, the silver plated line is very good, but the price is not good, but there is no way

After finally being able to install it, it feels perfect

After two days of use, I encountered new problems. The graphics card cooling seemed to be a bit tricky. Turn on the GPU-Z. My heart crashes. The main card is standby at 61°C and the secondary card is at 50°C. It's not that the video card is burning. Is worried that playing games will be automatically lower the temperature is too high, then look at my chassis, although the structure is very good, but because of petite size, very few fans, plus the front of the 140 fan position was occupied by cold row, Only rely on a 120 straight cup watermill

Therefore, I decided to change the chassis. Because the position of the chassis was limited, the size requirements were very high and the selection of the chassis was fraught with difficulties.

The first choice I consider is EVGA's DG-87, but unfortunately he is really too big to see overseas evaluation brother sitting on the sofa looks like this chassis is almost big, I chose to look like.

Then I considered the 515 of the wind chasers, but unfortunately the length is a bit too long, and I do not really like the design of the front panel. In addition, I think there is no place for the air duct design.

After that, I went to a wrong position. I actually took a look at the 570x of the Corsair. It's actually quite good. It's a pity that I have seen some of the feelings that the evaluation feels superficial.

Search for a long time, including many niche brands have studied, are not satisfied, and later finally saw the joint force has a dual-chamber design chassis, I feel the overall design is very in line with my requirements, go forward and go down the wind The design of the road and the huge space of the power board's sub-warehouse make me excited, but how to look for only found 240 cold row support, 280 cold row was ruthlessly abandoned.

At this point I have begun to prepare to buy chasers 515ETG, but accidentally found that the pirate ship actually has this design of the chassis is an AIR 540, one is AIR 740, the former is a very old product, the latter is last year Just released at CES, decisively chose to buy new products and not buy them for a long time, but also to go back to the store

The chassis is actually very large, like a car refrigerator, his wife is such a comment on him, she said watching dazzling

The new front has a new design, plastic matte material can be disassembled by hand, workmanship is quite good

Comes with 2 USB 3.0, audio, and a lighting control button. This lighting control button must be combined with Corsair's RGB controller to use, such as the HD120 kit, this business is doing well

Side panel, acrylic material, very very very bad, I just want to temper the panel

The front is the main board installation bay, because there is no power supply, so the space is very huge

Put a video card box in no problem at all

The front part supports 3x120 fan or 2x140 fan and cold row, and has a magnetic dustproof net, in addition the chassis itself comes with 3 140 fans

Both the top and bottom support 2x120 or 2x140 fan and 240-280 cold row, the hole position is good, but the bottom of the air did not give the dust net, had their own DIY one

On the back you can see the power compartment on the other side

Let's take a look at the power supply compartment, which has 3.5 and 2.5 hard disk cages, supports 3 3.5 mechanical hard disks and 4 2.5 SSDs. The hard disk storage can be individually removed and the hard disk may be more, but I think the current large-capacity mechanical hard disks have become Normally, NAS is becoming more and more popular. The hard disk has become less and less important. For example, I already have a Synergy 916+. The use rate of the mechanical hard disk in the chassis is actually very low. Just be a Transfer.

First loaded into power, very calm

After loading the motherboard, you can see that the ATX motherboard looks very petite, and the chassis supports the motherboard 272mm, which means EATX is not stressful.

The front lighting control buttons let me have a little heart, simply bought a set of HD120, want to try the effect, and later proved that I was too young

This thing to adjust the color or adjust the lighting effects must be through the controller, not the software control, and if you want to software control and achieve the effect of a colorful streamer like NZXT AER RGB, you also need to wait for a new Lighting Node PRO of the pirate ship. This product (with four light strips, similar to the NZXT's HUE+), and this thing's price is close to 400 more, which means that if I want to make these three fans to unlock the complete lighting effect requires a call fee of nearly 1000RMB

After installation, I feel that only the front part emits light, and some are monotonous, simply making light pollution bigger and stronger.

So I bought a set of NZXT AER RGB. In fact, compared to the pirate ship, NZXT is still relatively conscience. Although both are expensive, but at least the other controller is standard, no additional purchase, this time bought three 140 Fan to replace cold and rear exhaust

After the completion of the outfit, it looks like a lot of pleasing to the eye.

Because of the huge space, the power supply compartment is very random, and eight fans are connected so it is a bit messy.

Let's take a look at the effect of light pollution on the pre-fan without the controller. For the time being, we can't achieve the effect of RGB rotation. Otherwise, I believe that if the official map of the pirate ship will be more eye-catching, the light in the normal room will not affect the light pollution. Not as bright as a light strip

After nearly 10 days of torment, this one can finally be used with confidence and test the performance of the 1080ti SLI.

Above is the 1080ti SLI The following is a 1080ti single card, under Time Spy, the score has a 60% increase

In Fire strike ultra, there is a nearly 80% increase

In the actual game, Tomb Raider 2K's highest special effects were increased from the previous 52 frames to 89 frames, which improved performance by nearly 70%.

In Watch Pioneer, the actual number of frames of the game also reached the maximum number of frames of about 150 frames at the 2K resolution with special effects. It can be seen that the promotion of SLI is still there, but of course the premise must be that the game supports SLI. If not, then You may not have a single card

Temperature test:

Since we changed the new chassis, we certainly hope that the temperature is more friendly, AIR740 does not waste a total of 8 fans, in the normal use (opens three browsers and one Thunderbolt lightroom state) the main card temperature is around 48 °C, deputy card The temperature is around 39°C. If you don't do anything, the main card is about 40°C, and the subcard is about 30°C. Basically, you can.

In the 3DMARK stress test, the temperature is still about 80°C. It seems that the public version of the heat dissipation is also the same, but at least the lower frequency is better, and once the video card is no longer under high-load operation, it will cool down quickly. Even if the P66E is not at a high-load operating temperature or is still high, the internal heat exhaustion of the chassis is worrying. In addition, I found that when the SLI graphics card has been very difficult to load, it seems that the bottleneck of the CPU is emerging.

Power test:

1080ti standby power (just booting without doing anything) is about 160W.

When using the 3DMARK stress test, the power consumption is soared to about 600 W. Considering the power loss, at least 800 W or more is required. For safety reasons, it is more appropriate to use kilowatts.

Dual-card SLI performance improvement is obvious, but I think there is still a lot of room for optimization, NV also mentioned that the future will continue to improve SLI performance, and the biggest problem facing dual-card is still cooling, two graphics cards are too close The card above directly draws the hot air under the card backplane to cause high temperatures. If you want SLI, you don't believe that it's more suitable than non-publicity. At least the heat dissipation is relatively reliable. The public version of the graphics card has been removed and the heat dissipation is really bad. If conditions and technology are available, split water cooling is also a good choice. Standby is more than 20 degrees and 50 degrees full load is not too cool (I have tried it with water, it is true) but the cost and risk are also considered. A cold head is about a thousand dollars, and it is desperate to miss the night, so I do not want to toss it.

My personal opinion is that no matter what kind of computer, if you want to retain the upgrade space in the future, the best power to buy a bigger one, or in exchange for super trouble, but also a waste of money.

My personal opinion about the chassis is that the dual-chamber design is indeed very good. I have the meaning of my favorite Yinxin vertical air duct under the wind and the space is also very huge. I want to put what I want to put, and also for my future. Water cooling is ready, but AIR740 can still be strengthened. Whether it is the appearance or the side panel, I don't expect the pirates to go in a joint style, but I can change the acrylic into a steel. Even if I add 500, I'm willing (I Think of air740 as the best product of a pirate ship...).

Finally, with regard to the few glowing fans, my wife and I had a few days ago and I discovered that my head was really bad.
