Riddle me this...
 
Base Hardware:
ROG SWIFT PG278Q ( 3 monitors )
Asus RAMPAGE V EXTREME/U3.1
Intel® Core™ i7-5960X Processor Extreme Edition
(20M Cache, up to 3.50 GHz)

G.SKILL F4-2666C 15Q-32GRKB
Keyboard/Mouse
EVGA 1600w T2
Samsung 850 Evo 1TB (2 Drives)
Samsung SM951 PCIE M.2 SSD
Geforce GTX Titan X (4 pieces)
Riddle #1 (option 1)
Based on the 40 pcie lane availability on this cpu/mobo, option 1 is to run 3-way SLI and enable the ultra fast M.2 drive with raid 0 samsungs for storage.
Riddle #2 (option 2)
Based on the 40 pcie lane availability on the cpu/mobo, option 2 is to run Four way SLI, dump the ultra fast M.2 drive and be happy with a Raid 0 ssd array.

Note #1: 4-way sli on a 3 monitor surround does yield performance significant enough to consider with (depending on the driver version) a tiny bit of random issues.

Note #2: GPU/CPU will be covered in blocks which means 3 way GPU overclocking on water could bridge the 4-way performance gap.


Wuttayasay gents? Option 1 or 2?
Comments.

Option 1 seems like the easier way but still awesome!!

Passive cooling raddage, nice ;)

Which pumps are those? Are you using a separate psu for the water cooling?
