@@kevinerbs2778 When it worked it was on par at best, but like Jay said, Nvidia's support for SLI was a joke, and the cost of entry to SLI was almost always higher than just investing that money towards a higher tier or faster single card. Frame Gen technology is virtually free and can be adopted towards almost any hardware.
@@Cwayne1989 A big advantage of SLI was scalability. You didn't have to buy a more expensive single card when you could add another cheaper card. If frame gen was actually so good an SLI setup running frame gen would be even better.
This is literally my system :/, spec wise, i built mine in 2019, its the first custom water loop I've built. Seeing all the new gen stuff kick my pcs ass, hurts a little XD
@@ChairmanMeow1agreed. I don't like the mentality of big number of synthetic benchmarks make best measure of performance. Mine is, does the games I play run well with my hardware.
Im not sure if i'm the only one, but if you do revive this build I think you should do a modern version. rtx 3090s and 3090 ti's still support SLI and with the return of threadripper consumer chips you can still fit 8 sticks of ram in. It would be really impractical and Insanely expensive but it would still pay homage to the previous build while adapting it for more modern times
Single broke dad here. I am still gaming on my gtx 1080... I can't even upgrade to Windows 11. Even though my rig is old, I used good parts to build it, so it still gets me through! Your old pc is a dream upgrade for me! Lol!
I remember this build. You thought it was crazy using all those angle adapters going from the GPU to the CPU block, but it worked. If it's dumb, and it works, it's not dumb.
It might be old, but still looks amazing - Pascal has really held its own all these years, I retired my 1080Ti back in April after a solid 7yrs and hope the 4070Ti Super gets me another 7yrs.
I love this! I bought a D frame 2 off the back of this build. I bought a white one with blue accents. I still use it to this day and it's been through several iterations. Good to see the old girl is still alive!
I ended up on this channel because of this build saw an ad for a D frame locally and KNEW it was good but wanted to see it reviewed and HAVE a EVGA Dark X299 motherboard that was to "copy this build" build never happened and the X299 is still "new in box" )-:
what's more impressive to say it was his daily for awhile and then just sat around not being switched on, it mixed back up pretty damn well. Would be interested in the state of the blocks etc when it's emptied
I used a Titan X for a couple of years, it was a very capable card. It got sold for an insane amount of money to a guy who was rendering animation. I got a secondhand water force 1080ti after, similar vram but significantly faster clock speed.
Moral of the story, your cutting edge probably 5k USD+ build of today in 10 years will probably have the performance of a budget pc that costs 800 to 1000 usd.
Whats really crazy is if you think about it processors 12 years ago were around 100-200 dollars for the top of the line maybe 300. Now its 700-900. Graphics cards like the 1080 was 399, but no you can buy cards that put the 1080 to shame. i.e 6600x, 2070 for like same price. But you can actually double or even tripple the perfromance if you spend 1,000 on graphics card. Unfortunatley even a ryzen 5 5600x = 150 dollars. Released 4-5 years ago. Building a system today will run you around 700-800 dollars. Where 2012 it would of been around 500-600.
Well to comment on your statement, pc parts today or released 3 years ago is still keeping its value longer then it did before. 4090 been out for a couple of years now and it increased in price lol.
I’m still running an Origin Systems build, vintage 2018. 8700K on a 3.5 bay pump system, had twin 1080 Ti in SLI until I updated to a 4070 Ti earlier this year. 64 Gb RAM and still had a 2Gb SATA platter drive. It works well and is my daily system. I built a 13900K with a 4090 MSI GPU, 64 Gb RAM can’t remember the speed or timing, ASUS Maximus Extreme earlier this year. I can’t run it in the apartment I live in. It pulls too much power, it thermally shut down a wall wart due to the temp in the wire feeding the prongs on the outlet it was plugged in to. The GPU alone was a 2K cost, ridiculous. For a piece by piece system, it was nearly a $4K system.
As someone who was on an old box for a decade (coming from the old i7-920) days this is fantastic! No one will understand how we feel, unless they themselves have walked the long mile in our shoes. bravo good sir!
Great video Jay, fun to know i still run an FX-9370 CPU on 4.6 Ghz all core with an 1070Ti in SLI with 16Gb memory 1866 xmp profile. And it still runs butter smooth in recent games and with nvidia profile inspector its easy to still enable SLI for games which dont support it standardly.
Jay. Maybe consider leaving that system together for a while for nostalgia reasons. Maybe use it again for testing again in the future. The best then vs the best now.
I remember the "Terry Crews" build. That was a good video. Crews seems super likeable and really solidly into PC stuff. So I cannot believe I have been a Jay's 2 cents follower for like seven years. Wow.
ikr. I also felt that way a few days ago when paul harrel died, and i realized i had been his follower for nearly a decade and literally watched the man gray, get cancer, and finally bite the dust. Makes you realize how fast life flies by.
I love these videos with older gaming PCs. It really hits my nostalgia because these were the systems I wanted before I could actually afford to build a system. I am thinking of building my 2015-2018 dream PC that I couldn't afford then! Keep showing some of these
Perfect illustration of there is no such thing as "future-proofing". Build the computer that you need today and next year, and replace it every four to five years.
This build was a little bit after i started watching your channel. I built my first pc with a ryzen 1800 and then an evga gtx 1060. Currently getting ready to build my 3rd pc and going to build my first high end pc. Thanks for guiding me through years of this hobby! Glad you guys are growing and healthy!
the death of SLI and crossfire was such a sad day for tech. it really lowered the bar for how far we could push. Did you know that 4X 1080Ti's on LN2 held the raster world record up until the 4090 dropped? It took 4 generations to break that record due to the death of SLI. Even now, we're only just barely breaking it. That's how powerful SLI and crossfire were, and cutting support really hurt extreme builds everywhere.
This is a good example of why future proofing is just a cope we do, in 2 years there will be a cheaper but way faster upgrade. Just gotta buy whats good for now and enjoy the few years you get out of it. The old system is still perfectly fine for 1080p or even some 1440p games though.
Same. Been watching more nature videos and gardening stuff for a change of pace and then it occurred to me that it's the same thing since I'm still watching videos online.
I’ve been watching your videos for a very long time jay! Been a subscriber for very long I think atleast 9 years now. Thanks for this video loved it felt just like old times!! Keep up the great work!

I'm still rocking a EVGA x299 Dark motherboard. With a EVGA RTX 3070. Solid computing power, but I choose it because of the 4 channel DDR4. Better to my use case (I used to run multiple VMs to study DevOps / SRE stuff). Peace and long life! 🖖
Repeatedly tells us not to blow air direct through fans when cleaning and let them just spin as it can build up electricity. Proceeds to do exactly that

Jay should honestly , each time he builds his yearly over the top personal pc, take a high quality photo and frame it and give it Employe of the year , then hang them on the wall like Ancestral paintings
The fact that that pc (minus the water cooling) is only worth a few hundred dollars today is insane. For context the titans are $140-150 usd today. An x299 board is $120. A 18 core i7 is $200 usd. Fuckin insane how high end hardware depletes in value
Hardware don't have to deplete in value. All depends on if the end user's needs are met - with the activities/ tasks they are busy with. So perspective does matter. :)
High end? CPUs were stagnated in most cases deliberately to gatekeep higher cores for higher prices. Nvidia if they wanted they could have passed efficiency cost savings down to the consumer but they chose not to. Prices have been inflated higher for greater profits and since people kept paying higher prices... they kept going up. The same applies to thousand dollar smartphones.... which have no msd card slot and headphone jack....
I still have an old gaming pc with an Intel X980 which is dated 2008. I just upgraded the GPUs, for many years, say 2010-2015 Intel CPUs were upgraded incrementally and the X980 held it’s own. PCIe made this possible to keep upgrading GPUs.
Hey Jayz, I just wanted to tell you that you're doing an AMAZING job! I've been with you since I was a kid and always admired your setups and knowledge of the PC Master race. It has been so inspiring and continues to be every time I watch your videos. Thank you for everything man.
Spend 1,000's on a computer, use for 6 months and stick it under a bench for 6 years. Drag it out for a video, then spend 1,000's more to update. What's wrong with this picture?
Jay, Thanks for the trip down memory lane. I remember watching you build this back in the loft studio. I recently recreated my first HEDT from 2013. Hit a rough patch back in 2016 (health issues) and lost most of my possessions. ASUS Z97-PRO MB, i7 4770K, 32GB 2866 RAM Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO double fans! EVGA 670 in SLI 850W PSU (New rig twin NVIDIA founders 1080 Ti). Windows 7 Pro Cooler Master HAF full tower with 360mm Fan on top. Plexi side panel and 2 count em, 2 DVD drives. Now Windows 11 Pro after installing TMP 2.1 to MOBO. Run older games made for SLI; FAR CRY 3, Dishonored, and yes it can run CRYSIS!. Hope you're feeling better, saw your hematological update VID. God bless you and your family.
Jay, Im not even kidding, this is beautiful. It would outperform my current system I use for orchestral music writing, plus, is gorgeous. I used to feel like PCs were about form, stick it somewhere, use it, who cares what it looks like, but this system sings to me in the way it looks. Sure, the specs might be dated, but for my meager needs, outside of needing more memory (I need 64 gb minimum, pref 128), this would do everything I need and more, plus the dual SLI setup would make my preferred reverb engine, MIR 3D Pro, run like a dream
I had a 6850K SLI 980Ti system with a custom water cooling loop (the only one I've ever built). It was fun to build and fun to tinker with, but SLI didn't come anywhere near scaling. I replaced the 980Ti pair with a single 1080Ti and got about 50% better performance in games. A 1080Ti is about 67% than a single 980Ti. By this time, Nvidia and AMD would have been able to make SLI and Crossfire work a lot better, but they don't want us to by low-end cards and pair them, so they dropped the technologies. I still have those 980Tis, so I might rebuild that system (on air this time) just to play around with. I would be fun to just have on display in my gaming room.
I remember watching those videos as soon as they dropped and yes it was exciting times, I had SLI and a triple monitor setup, but support dropped off for all of those great things and definately less exciting nowadays. Great memories. Can't believe I have been watching you for 7 years!
Feels like its just a couple of years I watch this video. then realized when you check the video date. its the same time I build my first gaming pc and starting to watch your channel.
Just goes to show that future proofing only gives you about 12-18 months before it starts losing value, and another year or 2 after that before it’s completely outdated
Jay, I'm still running same motherboard for daily work and gaming. I have upgraded parts across the years which I will re-use for when ryzen 9000 comes out. My setup intel 7920X, asus rampage extreme vi, 64gb (4 dimms), 1tb 980, 4tb 990, corsair axi1200 power supply, evga rtx 3090, corsair icue 420 aio, cooler master haf700 evo, and lots of corsair icue fans.
Dude one of your vids is why I put my rad on top of my build. It cools down so quick when fans ramp up. Just one super thin from premo cool on top of lian li case. It works really good.
I would still use it today just because you took so much care and attention plus, it would be a nice reminder of how it was 6 or so years ago. Lovely looking machine.
Hehe it's almost the same as my recent build, green UV, but these are flexible tubes. They are UV green colored, the fluid is clear. Good luck with your new project, I'll follow that closely.
I’ll take the X299 7900x system as an upgrade! I’m still rocking an X99 5930K that’s over o’clock to 4.5 GHz as my daily machine with a GTX 1080. I love Intel. I still have my first I7 980x extreme system as a backup
Awesome to see, I still rock my In-Win Dframe exact same color. My PSU's capacitor's are busy trying to escape so would love to do a PSU rebuild to keep the housing true to the dframe.
Until 2 weeks ago, my daughter was still using my old Pc from 2013 with a i5 Ivy- Bridge, delidded and under an Ek Waterblok direct die cooling. Had benchmarked that CPU to 5.2 GHz, and was running it stable over all the years on 4.9 GHz The system was also running with 2 AMD HD7870 in Crossfire, i am still amazed how long that pc was running nicely, greetings from Belgium
While _you_ might not have been into 3D printing in 2018, I would consider it both cheap and mainstream back then. We started getting 4k resin printers, monochrome screens and some nicer features on the midsize printers back then in the $5-800 range (considerable cheaper than the commercial models in the $2k+ for an entry level), and you could build a 48" tall delta printer for $400. 2007 on the other hand, it was still pretty niche. Add: In PC history, I had SLI 400 series GPUs and GPU rendering in real time was in its infancy. There, made it relevant to the channel. 😁
Its funny, it still probably beats my rig im using today, my R5 2600x paired wit 2060 super. Still does what i need it to do! Thats still a bad azz good looking pc today! I would so rock that!❤
in terms of cpu, it destroys your rig so hard that it would never turn on again, had a 2600x as second cpu and then this one here because it was a cheap combo offer with mainboard, pu (7820X) so 8 cores and one step below his and yes it makes the 2600x seem like a Core2Duo ^^ ive got a build here which is my secondary rig next to my bed(i7 7820X/64gigs/1080TI) hehe omg man you should upgrade if my second PC is that much faster hehe ^^
i like to think about the water cooling like an electrical circuit, which very well explains why a parallel loop increases flow. we can think of the pump as a voltage source (battery), and the cards as resistors. if we say that the pump give us a "voltage" of Vp, and each card has a resistance of R, then we can use the formula I = V / R to calculate the current (flow). if we have the cards in series, the equivalent resistance is 2r, giving us a current of I = Vp/(2R). if we instead set the two cards up in parallel, then the equivalent resistance = 1/(1/R+1/R) = R/2, giving us a current of I = Vp/(R/2) = 2Vp/R, which is four time larger than the series scenario. however, this gives us only the total flow through the loop. if we are looking for the flow through each card, then we simply divide this by 2, giving Icard = Vp/R, a flow 2 times that of the series scenario.
Man this was a blast from the past. Right when I started watching you, because I was planning a pc build. I held out for a year and ended up going Ryzen 3000 series then and still rocking that computer. I keep thinking I’m going to do another but it’s still going strong after a gpu swap.
Just got baught a used pc from a friend and still this pc has more power than what I have now, things have moved so fast and I need to just buy parts and build something up to date and go HAM!!!
I started buying parts for my current rig in 2017. I still need to get a a few more fans and some fittings, but my rig is going to last me for the next 5 years.
I was wondering what happened to this build. I remember the 1st video you put out and seeing the finished PC thinking 'wow that's a cool case design and concept! Still looks good today.

Man i remember the day this build was originally posted on the channel. Where has time gone, still a beast of a build in an awesome case
And here I'm still running an 8600k and a 1070ti from late 2017.
lol 8700k and a 2080 that replaced my exploded 1080, its about time to upgrade for us
8600k AND 1080TI here
Just built a new PC, was rocking a 1070 and a 7700k
@@rjkent5 1080Ti is the GPU that many call Nvidia's best just because of how long it has remained capable of running a game at reasonable settings.
Still running a RX580, but upgraded to a 5700X from a 1700X.
Still kicking with 7700K and 1070 (since 2017). And Jay calls THAT dated... BRUH.
The fact that that pc (minus the water cooling) is only worth a few hundred dollars today is insane. For context the titans are $140-150 usd today. An x299 board is $120. A 18 core i7 is $200 usd.
Fuckin insane how high end hardware depletes in value
That means a coin farming rig is cheaper too.
@@cgjoh Crypto mining is a scam not worth the electricity
Hardware don't have to deplete in value. All depends on if the end user's needs are met - with the activities/ tasks they are busy with. So perspective does matter. :)
High end? CPUs were stagnated in most cases deliberately to gatekeep higher cores for higher prices. Nvidia if they wanted they could have passed efficiency cost savings down to the consumer but they chose not to. Prices have been inflated higher for greater profits and since people kept paying higher prices... they kept going up. The same applies to thousand dollar smartphones.... which have no msd card slot and headphone jack....
@@amirshahab3400 Nobody said it has to deplete in value.
Can't believe this is from 6 years ago! I remember thinking this build was one of the baddest PCs I'd ever seen. Time flies man.
You kids, "look at the old titan build, lol".
I still have my first PC build. 8088, with 16 color EGA monitor, built (assembled) in 1988.
I still have an old gaming pc with an Intel X980 which is dated 2008. I just upgraded the GPUs, for many years, say 2010-2015 Intel CPUs were upgraded incrementally and the X980 held it’s own. PCIe made this possible to keep upgrading GPUs.
Hey Jayz, I just wanted to tell you that you're doing an AMAZING job! I've been with you since I was a kid and always admired your setups and knowledge of the PC Master race. It has been so inspiring and continues to be every time I watch your videos. Thank you for everything man.
Spend 1,000's on a computer, use for 6 months and stick it under a bench for 6 years. Drag it out for a video, then spend 1,000's more to update. What's wrong with this picture?
Did Jay just full blast those fans with air?!
Jay, Thanks for the trip down memory lane. I remember watching you build this back in the loft studio. I recently recreated my first HEDT from 2013. Hit a rough patch back in 2016 (health issues) and lost most of my possessions. ASUS Z97-PRO MB, i7 4770K, 32GB 2866 RAM Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO double fans! EVGA 670 in SLI 850W PSU (New rig twin NVIDIA founders 1080 Ti). Windows 7 Pro Cooler Master HAF full tower with 360mm Fan on top. Plexi side panel and 2 count em, 2 DVD drives. Now Windows 11 Pro after installing TMP 2.1 to MOBO. Run older games made for SLI; FAR CRY 3, Dishonored, and yes it can run CRYSIS!. Hope you're feeling better, saw your hematological update VID. God bless you and your family.
so good to see you having fun again Jay and not wore out im going thru the wore out phase myself but high depression 4 me
Jay, Im not even kidding, this is beautiful. It would outperform my current system I use for orchestral music writing, plus, is gorgeous. I used to feel like PCs were about form, stick it somewhere, use it, who cares what it looks like, but this system sings to me in the way it looks. Sure, the specs might be dated, but for my meager needs, outside of needing more memory (I need 64 gb minimum, pref 128), this would do everything I need and more, plus the dual SLI setup would make my preferred reverb engine, MIR 3D Pro, run like a dream
I had a 6850K SLI 980Ti system with a custom water cooling loop (the only one I've ever built). It was fun to build and fun to tinker with, but SLI didn't come anywhere near scaling. I replaced the 980Ti pair with a single 1080Ti and got about 50% better performance in games. A 1080Ti is about 67% than a single 980Ti. By this time, Nvidia and AMD would have been able to make SLI and Crossfire work a lot better, but they don't want us to by low-end cards and pair them, so they dropped the technologies.
I still have those 980Tis, so I might rebuild that system (on air this time) just to play around with. I would be fun to just have on display in my gaming room.
I miss these Builds! Start doing this builds again! I really enjoy your custom builds.
I remember watching those videos as soon as they dropped and yes it was exciting times, I had SLI and a triple monitor setup, but support dropped off for all of those great things and definately less exciting nowadays. Great memories. Can't believe I have been watching you for 7 years!
Feels like its just a couple of years I watch this video. then realized when you check the video date. its the same time I build my first gaming pc and starting to watch your channel.
Just goes to show that future proofing only gives you about 12-18 months before it starts losing value, and another year or 2 after that before it’s completely outdated
Jay, I'm still running same motherboard for daily work and gaming. I have upgraded parts across the years which I will re-use for when ryzen 9000 comes out. My setup intel 7920X, asus rampage extreme vi, 64gb (4 dimms), 1tb 980, 4tb 990, corsair axi1200 power supply, evga rtx 3090, corsair icue 420 aio, cooler master haf700 evo, and lots of corsair icue fans.
Bring it back! This build is so SICK!
I'm still running X299 with a 9940x in 2024. Anybody else with something similar?
10940X/256gig of ram/3090 itz bloddy flippin awesome bro, and u got a special exclusive x299 feel so yeah, just different goodness :)))
5:16 Jay Beard Scratching SFX
2:48 Remembering the Titans...
X299s are still my main build. Finally, a video relevant to me. Thanks Jay and team!!
Budget current gen beats it in 5 years. People with 5 year old Budget tier still think their systems are worth what they paid 5 years ago
Dude one of your vids is why I put my rad on top of my build. It cools down so quick when fans ramp up. Just one super thin from premo cool on top of lian li case. It works really good.
I would still use it today just because you took so much care and attention plus, it would be a nice reminder of how it was 6 or so years ago. Lovely looking machine.
Hehe it's almost the same as my recent build, green UV, but these are flexible tubes. They are UV green colored, the fluid is clear. Good luck with your new project, I'll follow that closely.
I’ll take the X299 7900x system as an upgrade!
I’m still rocking an X99
5930K that’s over o’clock to 4.5 GHz as my daily machine with a GTX 1080.
I love Intel. I still have my first I7 980x extreme system as a backup
Awesome to see, I still rock my In-Win Dframe exact same color. My PSU's capacitor's are busy trying to escape so would love to do a PSU rebuild to keep the housing true to the dframe.
Until 2 weeks ago, my daughter was still using my old Pc from 2013 with a i5 Ivy- Bridge, delidded and under an Ek Waterblok direct die cooling. Had benchmarked that CPU to 5.2 GHz, and was running it stable over all the years on 4.9 GHz The system was also running with 2 AMD HD7870 in Crossfire, i am still amazed how long that pc was running nicely, greetings from Belgium
The over-the-top builds was the reason I started to watch your videos
While _you_ might not have been into 3D printing in 2018, I would consider it both cheap and mainstream back then. We started getting 4k resin printers, monochrome screens and some nicer features on the midsize printers back then in the $5-800 range (considerable cheaper than the commercial models in the $2k+ for an entry level), and you could build a 48" tall delta printer for $400.
2007 on the other hand, it was still pretty niche.
Add: In PC history, I had SLI 400 series GPUs and GPU rendering in real time was in its infancy. There, made it relevant to the channel. 😁
I'd totally update that build.
ooh man, what a sick throwback, for a while, this was one of my fav builds that you did.
Its funny, it still probably beats my rig im using today, my R5 2600x paired wit 2060 super. Still does what i need it to do! Thats still a bad azz good looking pc today! I would so rock that!❤
in terms of cpu, it destroys your rig so hard that it would never turn on again, had a 2600x as second cpu and then this one here because it was a cheap combo offer with mainboard, pu (7820X) so 8 cores and one step below his and yes it makes the 2600x seem like a Core2Duo ^^ ive got a build here which is my secondary rig next to my bed(i7 7820X/64gigs/1080TI) hehe omg man you should upgrade if my second PC is that much faster hehe ^^
Yea strip that case and put something modern in it, that would be cool, and better than just letting it sit for posterity.
i like to think about the water cooling like an electrical circuit, which very well explains why a parallel loop increases flow. we can think of the pump as a voltage source (battery), and the cards as resistors.
if we say that the pump give us a "voltage" of Vp, and each card has a resistance of R, then we can use the formula I = V / R to calculate the current (flow). if we have the cards in series, the equivalent resistance is 2r, giving us a current of I = Vp/(2R).
if we instead set the two cards up in parallel, then the equivalent resistance = 1/(1/R+1/R) = R/2, giving us a current of I = Vp/(R/2) = 2Vp/R, which is four time larger than the series scenario.
however, this gives us only the total flow through the loop. if we are looking for the flow through each card, then we simply divide this by 2, giving Icard = Vp/R, a flow 2 times that of the series scenario.
my ryzen 5700X gets almost 16k points in R23... dang thats crazy...
That’s so good to see how old tech is performing nowadays. While the Titans are lagging behind, they retain some value. Thank you for sharing!!
I love looking back at older builds and how they perform in today's workloads and games. Very fun!
Love that color coordination!
i just started watching your channel when you built this bad boy, got me into water cooling officially back in the day
My favourite "modern" spare build is a 4930K with m.2, GTX 660s in SLI, & 8gb quad channel ram. it works so fast for the workshop.
Not trying to be that guy but hope Jay been doing alright. He's not looking the best anymore and I hope his health is alright
Man this was a blast from the past. Right when I started watching you, because I was planning a pc build. I held out for a year and ended up going Ryzen 3000 series then and still rocking that computer. I keep thinking I’m going to do another but it’s still going strong after a gpu swap.
Just got baught a used pc from a friend and still this pc has more power than what I have now, things have moved so fast and I need to just buy parts and build something up to date and go HAM!!!
I started buying parts for my current rig in 2017. I still need to get a a few more fans and some fittings, but my rig is going to last me for the next 5 years.
Man I miss the old days when you use to build unique systems like this or Nebula V1
I was wondering what happened to this build. I remember the 1st video you put out and seeing the finished PC thinking 'wow that's a cool case design and concept! Still looks good today.
