00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:08,160
So many viewers have demanded to see the performance numbers from the ridiculous

2
00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:11,679
4-way SLI 6 core machine that was built

3
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:13,599
in recent NCX tech tips episode. So just

4
00:00:11,679 --> 00:00:19,000
updating you on my progress here. I'm actually just installing the GeForce

5
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:25,199
driver which you can see adds four-way SLI support for the

6
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:29,119
GTX 480. Now four-way SLI is intended for world record performance and

7
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:33,920
requires non-standard power and cooling. It is not recommended for general

8
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:38,320
consumer configurations. So cooling may be a bit of a an issue, but the half the

9
00:00:36,559 --> 00:00:43,120
high air flow, maybe it'll be able to handle it. We'll find out. And as far as

10
00:00:40,719 --> 00:00:48,879
power is concerned, that's a 1500 W power supply. If this can't handle it,

11
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:51,039
then uh I don't know what can. But one

12
00:00:48,879 --> 00:00:54,480
thing, if you come over here, I'll actually be able to show you. Now,

13
00:00:52,559 --> 00:00:57,920
before I actually load this machine up, I'm going to have to move it somewhere

14
00:00:56,160 --> 00:01:03,039
where I'm not relying on an extension cord. But, uh, at idle, without even

15
00:01:01,199 --> 00:01:10,080
drivers installed for the video cards yet, we're at 300 watts. That's idle on

16
00:01:06,479 --> 00:01:12,720
an 80 plus silver power supply. So, um,

17
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:16,560
I expect this is going to draw a mean amount of power under load.
