What do you all think is the current "Big Brother" to the 540?
I have 4 GPU's in my 540 today, all air cooled (1080Ti's with blowers). It does ok. But I am upgrading to 4 2080Ti's, and although companies like Bizon and Lambda labs build 4 GPU servers around the 540, I just feel its time to move to water cooled system.
The 540 is too small to accomodate 4 GPU water cooling.
The 740 is too small as well (it's only marginally bigger than a 540).
The 680X is too small, it is also just marginally bigger than a 540.
I REALLY like the "dual chamber" type cases. I am currently looking at:
Thermaltake Level 20 HT
Thermaltake View 51
Thermaltake View 71
Fractal Define XL
However as cool as those kits are, I will probably just end up with a Cooler Master Cosmos 700p (C700P). Because it can totally get it all done, even though its not dual chamber, its huge and there would be no problem putting the cooling system in.
I just wish there was something similar to a 540 but much larger, like a length/depth of around 23 or more inches and a height of around 22 or more inches.
The 540 can handle the 4 GPU's, but the thing is, when they get hot they just throttle to bring the temps down, so basically you give up 10-15% performance. I don't want that, I want my GPU's to give maximum performance, so its probably going to be a $1500 custom loop.
