yeah thats actually pretty deserved.
reminds me totally of windows' 3.1 pipe dream game.
was this an inspiration by any chance?

Looks awesome. The creativity, originality I see in many of these guru rigs is really something to behold.

Too large and overkill cooling.
Design is clean and nice, that's plus point.

Huh, few fans more and you could use it as drone, lol ;-) Very nice design anyway.

Eh, it's mostly just really wide. It otherwise isn't all that big considering what's in it, and at least it's interesting to look at. I do agree the cooling is excessive, especially considering there didn't appear to be any mention of overclocking.
Anyway this is definitely one of the more interesting RotM submissions lately.

Great rig!! Love the colors and straight lines!
"Overkill cooling....?!" Like there is a thing. I can imagine speaking up if there was insufficient cooling, but to scoff at "overkill...!?" Ha!!

In my computer, I have a FX-6300 overclocked to 4.5GHz with a ~650g air cooler. If I turned off Cool'n'Quiet, I'd probably be able to reach 4.8GHz. I've never seen the temperature exceed 64C, on a hot day. This heatsink is sucking up a lot of ambient heat from the motherboard and GPU too. This CPU has a significantly higher TDP than a modern i7, and is much more prone to being maxed-out. So, when someone has not one, not two, but three radiators cooling non-overclocked parts in a relatively open case, then yes, there is such thing as overkill. Don't forget the wattage involved powering all those fans and the water pump, and the collective noise of it all.
It's a great cooling system, there's no denying it. But I'd like to see those parts get overclocked and the resulting temperatures. That's exciting to me. But without an overclock, this cooling system is so overkill that the creator could probably turn off all the fans and still have safe temperatures after an hour of load. So in another perspective, why spend so much money on such an amazing system and not take advantage of it?

looks very cool, but i have a concern.. i would like to see the temps on the CPU after 100% of use of both GPUs (lets say rendering some 3D frames).. for me it looks like an awesome PC for the livingroom or the studio.

The leds for the fans on the first rad don't reflect in the same direction as the others, minus one star
.....awesome rig.

Looks awesome. Can we get some OC stats? All I saw was a 3Dmark score.

Oh my god...
Those molex power cables feeding from your gpu's make me so happy.

His parts are definitely overclocked. Given the hardware listed and the reported 3DMark Fire Strike score of 23,501 points, the CPU is likely overclocked to around 4.7 GHz (a great overclock for Haswell-E) and the GPUs are OC'd and boosting to around ~1500 MHz (pretty standard for GTX 980). This can be checked by searching 3DMark's database for similar scores from machines with matching hardware configs:
http://www.3dmark.com/fs/8778144
http://www.3dmark.com/fs/8692877
The CPU is 140W at stock and is likely pulling ~250W when overclocked to 4.7 GHz. Similarly, the GPUs will pull ~175-200W each under full load at stock speed and ~250W each when overclocked. With two GPUs plus the CPU this machine is likely putting out around 800W+ of heat when including the motherboard's power delivery and other components.
Three 480mm radiators is probably a little overkill; two would be fine for most people in this scenario. But if he wants to run his fans at extremely low speeds and have this rig run near-silent while still keeping those chips frosty then I can see the case for 3 radiators. After all, isn't that what water cooling is really about?

AMAZING setup, but that slimy green color gives me this extreme headache for some reason
Maybe I have found my weakness lol
