Morning Mike, you're up early today!

Morning Cliff, Bella got me out of bed this morning .....she just had to go out. :)

Thanks...

60's/70's huh? Are you trolling?

Absolutely not!

Looking good gents

This is my new build. Built it beginning of December.



Specification:

Asus Maximus VIII Hero Alpha Z170
Asus Strix GTX 1070 OC
Intel Core i7-6700K 4.0GHz
Phanteks Enthoo Evolv ATX Glass Mid Tower Case
Corsair Vengeance Red LED 32GB 3000MHz
NZXT Kraken X52 AIO Water Cooling Unit
Corsair RM850i
Samsung 850 PRO 512 GB
Samsung 850 Evo 1 Tb
Samsung 850 Evo 2 Tb

That white PCIe cable is temporary, I plan to get some CableMod custom cables in the future.

It almost has a Steam Punk look, if the case looked a little bit more like a Franklin Stove(which from the show angle, it does)

I have spent the last few days researching about my GPU and how to properly OC it.
The more I learn about my GTX 1080, the more I love it:)

Simultaneous Multi-Projection (SMP) is also discussed in the above video.


GTX 1080 overclocking is revised heavily from previous generations. The GTX 1080 and GP104 move nVidia from GPU Boost 2.0 to GPU Boost 3.0. GPU Boost 3.0 and supporting applications from AIB partners will allow for frequency-voltage curve creation that fine-tunes voltages against various frequencies. Rather than functioning on a single slider for frequency, applications like Precision and Afterburner will now create a curve that fits your card's particular silicon.
Anyone who's overclocked knows that a high frequency may be sustainable in most games or for long stretches of time, but that some specific applications or use cases will crash the drivers resultant of the overclock. The obvious solution is to step-down the OC globally until something is stable across the board, but then we're losing OC room in the use cases that didn't originally trigger faults.
GPU Boost 3.0 supports scanners, which figure out the optimal frequency for each individual voltage point. If a particular voltage point is less stable, the frequency offset can be adjusted by the tool or by manual control. In EVGA Precision, a ScanOC tool finds the optimal setup and provides a baseline that allows enthusiasts to further tune their setup. Vendors can determine parameters for voltage-frequency curve determination by the OC scanner.
Three modes exist for the new GPU Boost 3.0 overclocking tools:

• Basic – A standard slider input.
• Linear – The line can be tilted to demand more power toward one end of the curve.
• Manual – Dial-in every voltage-frequency curve point, mostly what the scanner generates.

The GTX 1070 will take the same approach.

I went to Nürnberg today with a friend who took me to look for a PCI fan in a couple of the electronic/PC stores, but couldn't find any on stock, as no one carries them

But I was able to get 4 LED strips, 2 X 30cm and 2 X 60cm: BitFenix.com >> Products >> Premium Modding >> Alchemy 2.0 Magnetic LED Strips

At home I found my extra peripheral/SATA power cable, plugged it into my PSU, put one 30cm in the right(wall side ) of the case that has the metal panel with a cut out honeycomb design vents,

and placed the other 3 on the glass panel side:
Sorry about the pic quality, they were taken with my webcam
What's cool, is how the light coming through the vents on the wall look like flames
Now I need to try some cable hiding
