It's fairly bad, you were praising it the other day at how level it was.
I wouldn't be happy with that.

Ayahuasca · 12 Apr 2015 at 17:39

Just checked mine with the stock cooler and seems level.

Sagging - the damn PCB is bending :eek:

Poor Titan X.

Is it just my eyes or is that card flexing on the right?

I'd also remove those plastic caps, they are right near the extremely hot RAM chips, don't want them melting.

but i'm not 100 % happy with it, because i hate things that dont look right, so i might opt for full water block/ reservoir/pump next week.........or return it to stock with a few mods that it needs.

but lets see what it looks like when i level the board first.............finally, it wouldn't sag in the In-Win D-Frame !!!!!!!!!!

nor am i, the rest of the rig looks brilliant, it has to levelled up with the rig turned upside down and the bracket left about 3 hours to cure in place.........the sag is about 1/2 an inch, the Backplate had to come off because it looks so ugly

i'm not sure what to do now

Ayahuasca · 12 Apr 2015 at 18:03

Put the backplate back on, put the side panel back on and use the card? :confused:

You said yesterday it doesn't matter about looks as long as it cools well.

^JP^ · 12 Apr 2015 at 18:04

Mal, looking at that you have no memory or vrm cooling at all?

Mal X · 12 Apr 2015 at 18:05

that will do it, but the Material thickness will need to be quite thick or it'll buckle as well...........damn, the RAM is a problem

it's blasted from the underside only, but it does get hot on the top face.........yes although the full Arctic cooler is ugly it was definitely dead level with very cool RAM...........

this is not an easy decision

Other places seem to have ETA's between today and the 17th for stock, so unless Gibbo forgot someone at EVGA's birthday it should be about the same.

I hope, GIVE ME MY TITAN!

this is not an easy decision

i've refitted the backplate, the card is dead level now but it's huge, it's actually starting to block the 5th slot :eek:

the card looks like a slice of ham in the middle of a Ham Sandwich

but at least it's cold and silent now

the Water cooled CPU mounting disc wont fit under the reference cooler without heavily modifying the cooler's base plate, you'll need to cut it out to allow the CPU mounting flange to contact the GPU Board on the underside..

this means you'll loose all the Stock Coolers fins :eek:

, so you'll need the same back plate as mine to cool the RAM............Which is exactly what ARCTIC do with their Hybrid 2 .

You cant get around it, if you're gonna try and cool/silence the Titan X on the cheap, it's going to look ugly.

Flange.
