RIP EVGA and all the legendary SLI builds 😭

It kind of does a great job showing how these expensive systems can relatively quickly be outdated in a short time period.

It's been 6 years?! Where TF did time go?

13:04 That’s Jay’s “I’ve been water cooling PCs before you were even born” face

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.

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.

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

Your iFixit Ad is the only one I enjoy watching and I don't jump through!

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!

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.

"2080 6 years ago" I'm still rocking a 1070... Its that old 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.

Whatever fluid you used, did not seem to stain the glass at all either for just sitting for so long. That is impressive

6:00 I bet it's because it reminds you of popping the hood of a car :)

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!

So glad to see you feeling better and I can see your energy and enjoy your enthusiasm!

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.

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!

i love love love those 90s style infomercial for ifix it

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

Omg I remember the vid of you building this. Time flies.

I'd kill for that green pc. My asus motherboard died 4 months ago and now I'm daily driving a 20 year old laptop. Life sucks.

@JayzTwoCents I started watching your channel because of your IFix-it adds I still love them and you have more tech tips then LTT does now

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!

WAKE UP NEW JAY VID JUST DROPPED

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.

Awesome video !! Love this kind of content !!

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

im online too much.

Me still rocking my EVGA Hydrocopper GTX 1080. 😎

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.

ooh man, what a sick throwback, for a while, this was one of my fav builds that you did.

We need more of these actually

That is such a cool case and an awesome build! Flashback to the golden age of pc building with SLI and EVGA! lol

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.

Bring it back! This build is so SICK!

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.

Still love that case. It's timeless

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!

Aaahhh days of SLi. I do miss all the extreme builds sli or tri sli. The can it run crysis stuff.

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

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

OMG your moving ! I can so easily remember you moving in there not that long ago and shuffling desks around etc lol

Wait, did Jay spin the fans while cleaning with the dust machine at 3:00.... 😇😁🤣

Be well all

Rebuild it and that chassis is cool for the age.

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.

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.

And here I'm still running an 8600k and a 1070ti from late 2017.

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

Ooh, I love these! I do this myself with older rigs too. Look at it later see how it is.

i just started watching your channel when you built this bad boy, got me into water cooling officially back in the day

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.

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, 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

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

I remember the first SLI rig I had was 3DFX Voodoo 2 babe back in 1998! Back then SLI was Scan Line Interleave.

@JayzTwoCents Jay, that glorious rig deserves some new hotness! Hit it up good sir!!

I miss these Builds! Start doing this builds again! I really enjoy your custom builds.

Such a great build, thanks for the trip down memory lane.

"Worked last time I used it" is also car speak for "ran when parked" lol

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.

Love that color coordination!

I remember watching you build this years ago! That’s crazy

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.

X299s are still my main build. Finally, a video relevant to me. Thanks Jay and team!!

A friend of mine helps others who are on limited incomes by creating designs for them. He used to stream his creations, while getting instant feedback. Alas, his system was gifted to him in June 2018 and is not strong enough for him to stream and run his design programs. I wish I could help him, but I am one of those people on a limited income he helped. He too is expected to live off of less than $950/mo...as a disabled veteran. Sad to see that he is treated this way.

one of my fav build you did 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

Such an Awesome build still! I Love your excitement. I Love building PC's too but it's so expensive now I just can't afford it as a hobby now with my Son!

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.

I was just thinking about the InWin D-Frame like a week or so ago. And now we have Jay looking at an old D-Frame build.////

Phil turning in that chair looking like a future bond villian lol

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!!

Got my gaming mat/ Looks great. Thanks man.

The iFixIt Intro never gets old love it. DAYUM THAT BUILD

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

I’m still running x299 this made me feel like my computer is old. I mean it is but the realization of it hit hard.

Jay's IFIXIT ads are fucking amazing and I love them.

I love looking back at older builds and how they perform in today's workloads and games. Very fun!

love the look of that system

love u jay !

Uuuu, new studio. Cannot wait.

ty for the ifixit ad i cant get it out of my head

Always nice to look back at SLI being popular to have in your set up compared to now.

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 remember the terry crews build! i think that was right around the time i first started watching your videos

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!!!

That still looks amazing! Your "old" computer is still years newer than mine. I'd kill to have something like that. Then again, I built mine with all used parts (except HD) and barely spent $250.

Best sponsor spot ever lol. oh how i remember commercials like that.

I love the EVGA box in the background that says Not 4090 🤣

16:20 just a random npc teleporting out of nowhere to hitch a ride at 50mph.. lol cyberpunk glitches are awesome! Glad you got that on camera.

I LOVE that case. It speaks to me.

I remember watching you do the build video of this system.

The classic ifixit sponsored segment, something not only you don't mind watching through, but you find yourself mouthing along xD major kids adverts on nickelodeon vibes

I too remember this one. I was looking to build a system and was watching custom build videos and watched that one.

Love that case and the cooling. If day do something newer in it for sure.

Need more iFIXIT promo spots in that style pls. I laugh every time.

The PC looks so nice!

I would still like that gaming rig its way better than what i have currently

Pascal was the best era for GPU’s in my opinion, I loved these cards, had plenty of different models and I’m still running a 1080ti in another PC.
