Is this the largest RotM yet?

During my most active system building era, Nvidia was definitely king, so I probably have a bias towards Nvidia because of this experience. Back then at one point I owned a Compaq Presario 4800, which came with AMD ATI Radeon graphics, and it was a nightmare dealing with it when trying to install Linux on it, as there were absolutely no drivers available of any kind for it. So historically Nvidia had been, to me, better at providing, updating and quickly developing drivers. Today, however, the story is a bit different.

Different indeed.

Nice, a serious PC! Like you say the videocards are the weakest link because they're last generation. Watercooling that massive CPU is definitely worthwhile (which you have done of course), but watercooling the GPUs is less performance critical as it's the difference between say 2100Mhz and 2050Mhz on air, but I suppose it's quieter and when you've gone sli then case airflow is problematical if you've gone with air. For GPUs nowadays we just don't see the advantages of watercooling anymore because they're all locked down or running close to the maximum that the silicon can support anyway when it comes to overclocking......what they need to do is produce massive GPU (massive GPU silicon with many many more cores), and that's when watercooling would be able to have a big effect - but that's real expensive to manufacture and the market would be small for massively high TDP GPUs.

EDIT: they could reduce cost of massive GPU silicon by using many chiplets joined together, which is what the future holds anyway according to what I have seen for NVidia, so hopefully they'll be able to produce some massively high TDP GPUs at reasonable cost - and that's when watercooling will make the difference. They could perhaps run them at reduced clocks when on air, and then let the enthusiasts push them to the edge of what the silicon can endure when using more exotic cooling like watercooling....now that would be exciting!
