4-way SLI Rig Setup Core i7 980X 4x GTX 480 eVGA Classified Silverstone 1500W One Linus Tech Tips

2010-05-25
so many viewers have demanded to see the performance numbers from the ridiculous four-way SLI six core machine that was built in recent NCIX tech tips episode so just updating you on my progress here I'm actually just installing the geforce driver which you can see they did it did it did it to do ads four-way SLI support for the GTX 480 now for Wii SLI is intended for world record performance and requires non-standard power and cooling it is not recommended for general consumer configuration so cooling may be a bit of an issue but the half the high airflow maybe it'll be able to handle it we'll find out and as far as power is concerned that's a 1500 watt power supply if this can't handle it then I don't know what can but one thing if you come over here I'll actually be able to show you now before I actually load this machine up I'm gonna have to move it somewhere where I'm not relying on an extension cord but at idle without even drivers installed for the video cards yet we're at 300 Watts that's idle on an 80 plus silver power supply so I expect this is going to draw a mean amount of power under load
