Liquid Series from PC Specialist ** GTX 1080 NOW AVAILABLE**

Next week is definitely good compare to end of July! In case I can't keep the pallet, would PCS provide one free of charge if I need to send the case back?

I'll find out today if possible if there would be a charge or not.

keynes said:

I think I would stick with the 750D to avoid issues with the delivery of the pallet. Just wondering when OC on the GPU are likely to be available

I can't really say as to when we will offer it as honestly I don't know. We're trying to get everything else smoothed out first whilst adding some new cases and things first, we don't want to create too much work initially as we'd rather focus on getting each thing right before moving onto something new. I can't see it happening in the immediate future.

If I decide to OC the gpu myself, I believe EVGA covers OC under their warranty but concern that I could void my warranty with PCS. if I go with the system I just want to be sure it is fully customised to what I initially intended to get. I also want to take advantage of the liquid cooling system.

I've got an answer about the overclocking the GPUs

You can overclock the GPU no problem without voiding the warranty however if you break anything in doing so then you will have to pay for the labour/repair.
EVGA will cover the warranty so long as there are no signs of physical damage.

If you are to do it and something goes wrong then EVGA will cover so long as there are no marks to the card so if you were to overvolt the card too much that it left a scorch mark then this would void the warranty however if it just cuts out then and stops working you'll be fine.

I've tried finding out about the pallet however I can't get an answer for the time being as it is still being discussed.

Thank you James. Would PCS be able to provide any advice on acceptable overclocking or perhaps you have been informed by EVGA what could be an stable OC?

Just buy the friggin' thing and pump it full of electricks til it vibrates! Job's a good 'un.

Currently no, we have very little experience in overclocking GPUs as it's something we've never looked into until recently. I have done it to my own EVGA cards however it was with kid gloves and I didn't really touch the voltage. Once we're a bit more confident in the ability to do so then we'd be happy to provide information on it.
We've not spoken to EVGA about it but I can try and contact one of their engineers to find out the general limitations of the cards and such.

It's more than £3k! Need to take my time

Recommended settings would be helpful, thanks again for all your help

I know you're only kidding, but my respect for keynes goes up and up as I follow this thread. Proper planning prevents poor performance remember. Top man that keynes! :clap:

I'd certainly recommend against throwing all the power at it

I emailed EVGA last week after posting and I've not received an answer yet. If and when they get back to me I'll let you know

Thank you for your help, my original quote went up like £200, I assume it is to do with the sterling. Hope it comes down again.

That's what I'm here for Yes this is because of the Sterling, believe me we're all hoping it comes down again too

I hope this will happen but I though I would put it on here - Will the new Titan X be on the liquid series and if so when? also will they only support dual SLi for this.

Also when buying a new PC with the 10 series does the new bridge come with the PC when you have 2 1080 or titan X etc - I haven't seen anything been put about this??

You can already spec it, I'm not sure if its 'available' or if you'll be on a waiting list. PCS only offer the new Titan X in dual SLi - but why on earth would you want 3 of them

Not sure about the new bridge, I expect the only thing that will come are the bridges supplied by the motherboard manufacturers not the new Nvidia high bandwidth bridges. Although I think that's something PCS should consider offering imo.

The Pascal Titan X is currently available on Liquid Systems, we're currently waiting on the GPU Coolers being manufactured which will take around 2 weeks for EK and 4-6 for Alphacool.

Unfortunately they will, be locked down to 2-way SLI only, this is because of some pretty strict conditions on sales of the GPU.

So this has been bothering me quite a bit, we don't currently have any HB (High Bandwidth) SLI bridges that can fit onto or Liquid Systems as we use GPU bridges instead of piping the cards together. EVGA are making them as we speak and we've contacted them as to when these will be released but we have no confirmed date as of right now.
We've contacted every customer that this will affect and we asked if they would like to wait on the system being delivered or receive the system with a standard SLI bridge and then as soon as we have the EVGA ones in stock we send them out the HB.

Thank you for the update - the thing is if someone is buying the 10 series and there is 2 of them, will the HB be added to the price or is this a thank you for PCS and no extra charge. Reason why I am asking is that I am thinking of buying the liquid series and it could be a really OTT build but hey who cares (not me) and if I order the PC now then we say 2 months later PCS phones me or emails me saying we have the HB SLI bridge. And to be fair, to get the most of them you have to have one, will we have to pay since we wanted it when the build/PC was made.
Hope it makes sense

Unfortunately this isn't something I know the answer to for sure as I'm only head of water cooling and don't have any say in pricing and things. To my knowledge, I don't believe it's built into the price and they are given out for free but I can't say for definite.
