Been doing some research and starting to select my build, would greatly appreciate some advice!
The GPU's are the only thing I haven't picked yet, of which I'm going to get 4x
I'm about ready to accept i'm not going to find any 1080 Ti FE's or even 1070's for that matter.
So really my question is, how bad of an idea is it to place 4x 1080 Ti's next to each other? If that's your only choice what extra steps would you take to protect them?
ASUS Turbo GeForce® GTX 1080 Ti 11GB GDDR5X is my lead contender so far.
I would really wait for FE cards. Volta is supposed to be out within a couple months. If you absolutely HAVE to get the Turbo cards, make sure there is good air intake and airflow over the cards. Removing the backplates will dissipate heat a little better and allow more air to flow out.
Side note: be careful with a 1600W PSU, I believe epixiop saw that 1080 Tis ran up to 300W each, so you're pushing 1200W with the GPUs alone. Add the CPU, SSD, fans/cooling and everything else, you'd be cutting it close.
