Title: Just Build it and Burn it: My $1,000 DIY GPU Rig Fiasco

Hey guys, just got back from a weekend of trying to build a dream gaming PC, only to have it end in disaster. Spent $1,000 on some crazy components, threw them all together, and managed to overheat and fry not one, but TWO high-end GPUs. What went wrong, and can anyone tell me where I went wrong?

"Yikes, sorry to hear that, OP. What's the issue with your build, are the GPUs overheating or just not living up to your expectations? Maybe we can help you troubleshoot or provide some advice to get it running smoothly."

"Damn, that's some wild experimentation right there. I tried to build my own GPU rig too, but ended up losing $300 on a broken 6-pin power connector. Guess I learned my lesson"
