really? $2,999,999 on newegg why not just round to the nearest dollar and get it over it. but then again. I might not have that one dollar...

If the problem's a single $, I've got a dollar I can borrow 😀

I dearly hope it won't cost $2.999.999 😉 Nice Gigabyte! It takes considerable time to build a loop with 3 cards, nice to see this as an "AIO" product 🙂

2000$-2200$ is a reasonable price for this. Any cent more is not worth it even typing for this subject....

While it is pretty ugly to me as well, I wouldn't mind such a monstrosity to play with. :eyebrows:

It is pretty ugly but temps are kinda meh in my opnion. I have a custom setup with AIO on both my 7950s and they only hit 45c under load with a 1200 oc on the core and they sit inside my case.

Whenever I start thinking a bit more seriously about something like this I find the following thought sobering: If this rig would last me, say, ten years, then I could have this rig now and for ten more years, or I could buy a new, single $300 GPU every year for the next ten years for the same money; or buy a new pair of $300 gpus every other year for a decade...or, well--it's not very difficult to talk myself out of it...;)

I want to know just one thing: Can you leave the ugly box in some dark corner and mount the radiators inside your case ? And how does that perform then ? Edit: I would run the cards inside a Corsair Graphite 780T with the radiators all at the top position, then the front radiator position for a 280mm AIO solution for an overclocked 5960X. Edit 2: Well, considering the tubing length it's rather the card radiators for front and CPU top.

Wow. HUGE waste of money. I've never seen 3-way SLI scale very well.

Is there any practical use for this? Or is it "my bank account is bigger than yours'

that scales so poorly 😯 but what can we expect from 3 gpu's anyway. nice review.

LoooooooL! Sell a few cheap AIO coolers for thousands of dollars... Profitable to say the least, mostly useless though.

the thing that interested me is the SLI bridge i'll gladly buy one for my 980 G1 SLI

Would have liked to know how much of a pain it was to try and thread either the card or the radiator through the front of the case 3 times rather than tested on an open bench. Seems like ease of installation would be an important part of a review for anyone with enough money to throw away on something like this.
