    SLI or no for Mini ITX?

    I've been thinking about it a lot and I think I'ma yolo and do SLI... I mean... why not... right? XD I'll refer to the hardforum and see if maybe users (like C_Payne) might be able to help me design my PCB. I'll have to custom design my case too. Will post the design sometime on this forum for...

    SLI or no for Mini ITX?

    Single 1180 July/August 2018 then upgrade to 1180TI next summer? I plan on upgrading everything once Ice Lake comes out lol

    SLI or no for Mini ITX?

    I don't mind waiting till July or maybe August. But next year would be a bit insane XD. Most of the games I'd be playing don't even support SLI, so it might not be worth it for me :\

    SLI or no for Mini ITX?

    That sounds like a reasonable possibility. I do want to have a nice snappy NVMe SSD though... Honestly though ya'll. Is SLI even worth the investment? Additional space, heat, power, and cost. Not to mention hacking everything to get it all nice and happy. I gather it's definitely possible and...

    SLI or no for Mini ITX?

    I think I mean when PCIe Gen 4 is fully implemented I'd like to take advantage of the higher bandwidth (perhaps, splitting it more than two ways for other expansion cards). Sorry if I'm missing something, bifurcation and PCIe are new stuff for me!

    SLI or no for Mini ITX?

    The case would be custom if I were to go the SLI route. I'm trying to maximize performance per liter here. I'd be going with two EKWB Coolstream SE 240 radiators and four Vardar F3-120 @ 1850 RPM fans. Clearance will be specifically designed for these components. Yea, custom case is what I was...

    SLI or no for Mini ITX?

    As the title says I've been thinking about configuring 2 1080 TIs in SLI within a Mini ITX case using PCIe bifurcation. How plausible would this be? It would definitely be rocking a custom loop with at most 2 dual-120mm radiators. Would I get decent thermals with this? Will the bump in...

    Hardware Choices For Mini ITX Build

    The idea for the CPU was to pick up a Whiskey Lake i3 (as it *should* come out around the time as the 1180/2080) and then once Ice Lake comes out next year upgrade to an i7. Thoughts on this? Need for Speed Payback, Forza Horizon 3, Civilization VI, GTA V, Rainbow Six Siege, and PUBG.

    Hardware Choices For Mini ITX Build

    I decided to go with a 4K display. I've been reading up on the new NVIDIA architecture and it seems like people say it might come out around this upcoming winter; which is a long time. Any estimates on when the 1180 would come out? Have you heard anything? Appreciate the input.

    Hardware Choices For Mini ITX Build

    Hello! I'm new to this community and would like to ask for some opinions on my next computer build. Background Information: I definitely would like my build to be in the Mini ITX size/FF. However, what I'm trying to decide is what GPU and CPU to put into it. GPU Decisions: The problem is that...
