This just posted this video about how they are moving to water cooling for the equipment. Also at the very end, he talks about replacing the Titan X's with GTX 1080s

Edit..

Looks like Steve Croft posted just before I did in the News section

Interesting news. I assume it is easier to put a watercooling block on a stock 1080 compared to a Titan X since it would be more common hardware.

It looks like they are stuffing all of that into a Thermaltake Core X9 case.
Which I have one of & when it arrived I thought someone left a fridge on my doorstep.

I certainly does...

I also have an X9 Case in white and am still deciding where to put the monster and what exactly to put in it...

Thought about putting two systems into the one case. ;)

My GPU's are running on air. If I drool it will be a mixture of air and water :)

Interesting, I have my Dual Xeon system with 7 or 8 GPU's installed in it, running on PCI-E-USB adapters, and couldn't get the system to recognize more than I believe either 5 or 6 video cards. The frustrating thing is, it has 10 8x PCI-E slots, and my original plan was to try and run 10 cards. Something about not enough memory space or something with the motherboard, to which I called BS because it is designed with 10 slots, they should all be able to be filled and work. But, after talking with the support engineer at Supermicro, they came to the conclusion that there was nothing they could to to make it work. Wasn't happy, that was an expensive board/CPU combo, which left a lot of performance on the table unutilized.

If you were to bung in a bunch of NIC, Fibre Channel, or SAS controllers you could use all of the slots no problem. Given they don't typically have several GB of memory that needs to be mapped in the system.

Hmm, well, too bad they didn't design for worst possible scenario then. ;-) Besides, who would want to run all that stuff when you could run 10 video cards?!! lol Talk about an epic system!
