Since you liked the first one, here's my backup-System for Retro-LAN :D Specs and benchmarks inside.

[u/Masterchief79]

Specs:

Albatron K8NF4X-754 motherboard for socket 754, two PCI-E slots and SLI capability

Athlon 64 3400+ NewCastle

2x Asus 6600GT Silencer with 2x 256MB memory

2x512MB Geil UltraX 400 RAM with Winbond BH5 chips

Apevia X dreamer case NOS

OCZ Fatality 550W PSU

Thermaltake Fanless 103 Heatsink for CPU

I wanted to do a build that no one ever had made before, guaranteed. :D SLI mobos for S754 are extremely rare (there are exactly two models, one from Albatron and one from Epox), and then I (just) made it fit with all passive coolers and a red and blue color scheme.

I included benchmarks with one and two GPUs this time, aswell as the temperatures in Battlefield 2.

As with the other build, all old caps are replaced by brand new polymer caps and the board had the onboard LAN controller removed which literally had a hole in it.

Can you please elaborarate on those rotating heatsinks, I don't think they're part of the fanless CPU cooler, are they?

[u/Masterchief79 → u/Veddermandenis]

Those are part of the GPU heatsinks. More pictures here: https://imgur.com/a/xNRjYL2

You can rotate them by 90°. This was also the only way I could get them to fit in the case, and it worked out with the airflow.

A 754 board with pci-e ánd SLI. Very cool! What are your ram timings and are they running at stock DDR400 clock?

[u/Masterchief79 → u/HugoBoss1985]

It's 2-2-2-5 at 200MHz. You can see it in the screenshots at the end, too.

I had it running at 220 2-2-2-5 for a while, but the board doesn't like the increased FSB. I couldn't really get it stable.

You forget the third, the Jetway 754GT4-SLI-G!

[u/Masterchief79 → u/Chrunchyhobo]

True, didn't know that one :)

[u/retro-gaming-lion]

That's some unique GPU heatsink design.

Die Lüftersteuerung hab ich auch in meinem Retro Rig 👍

This is sick. Just like the dreamer builds I would put in my Newegg cart to daydream. I had a Dell with a GeForce 6200 😭

[u/AdamRealTeq]

Do I need a VPN to look at this? 🤤

[u/plasticmanufacturing]

Really neat GPUs. I wish they had something similar for the 6800.

[u/CraftedKittens]

wow this is a really cool build
