I have a 180mm Silverstone AP182 blowing over the rear of the card which already cools the chips well, I measured them using an IR gun after playing for a while and they were under 100c. I only want a backplate to make it look a bit cleaner and to stop it from sagging in the future.

i've found a way to solve the board sag :-
http://www.rcr.com.au/metalmate/carinya-brackets/sturdy-angle-brackets

that will go under the board and attach to the mobo tray, it doesn't attach to the board, just pushes it back up......if you use silicone sealent to attach it to the tray you'll need to leave it overnight to cure, with the GPU removed......... i used this on the 970 SLI

and i've reduced the size of the Arctic back plate so that can go back on too....NOT NEARLY AS UGLY

as long as the card can be returned to Stock for selling it in the future you're ok...

I am profoundly jealous of you all. I had to wait 3 weeks for my TX and it failed almost immediately. And now I have to wait 2 weeks for the replacement.

<Sob, sniff>

(None of this is OCUK's fault, of course.)

wow that's bad, I guess i'm lucky i suppose.

what sort of temps are people getting. mine seem to running near 83 degrees when gaming with fan speed at like 80% it's kinda worrying

dasimpse · 15 Apr 2015 at 17:44

SO if i buy a zotac titan x, is this the same quality build as the others?

Ayahuasca · 15 Apr 2015 at 17:46

All from nVidia I think, Zotac will just slap a badge/branding on it and box it.

Identical, you're paying for the name/warranty etc.

Then you'll need to set it up on manual and adjust it, it takes ages to get right.

mine is 70 degrees (power limit) at 55 % fan speed............with the cooler it's 48 degrees max on 40% fan (dead quiet)

Ayahuasca · 15 Apr 2015 at 18:28

1400/2000mhz overclock and I haven't seen it break 70c in games with an aggressive fan profile. I've optimized my case cooling though and have fresh air from a nearby window right near the case.

Mal X · 15 Apr 2015 at 18:59

the only thing lacking is a really good 4K TV and i dont mean the LG OLED, not yet anyway :cool:

Tonester0011 · 15 Apr 2015 at 19:45

Pssh, air cooling.
Hoping mine wont go above 35c when its wet.

Ayahuasca · 15 Apr 2015 at 19:49

Putting mine under water would set me back £300 for all the gear, not worth it for another 100mhz on the core or whatever I'd get.

Tonester0011 · 15 Apr 2015 at 19:52

I don't do it for overclock, i do it for silence.
I run my system stock.

Orangey · 15 Apr 2015 at 20:04

Water would get you more than 100MHz, 1500 should be doable for a lot of units.

Ayahuasca · 15 Apr 2015 at 20:11

I'm already at 1400 on air.

Noise doesn't bother me as I'm always using headphones whilst gaming, for all other use the system is quiet anyway.

I hate using headphones, and noise does me in.
Computer is in the same room where i sleep and i leave it on all night (films, etc) i really hate even the tiny whisper of fan noise.

Normally have my setup running through one of those Aquaero fan controllers, which ramp up with water temp, but now i just use 5V reducers with quiet fans

(fixed performance, but less hassle)

Going down the AIO route would be less costly, potentially still give a bit more headroom and most importantly definitely be quieter. If I didn't already have a custom loop and only required the gpu block, this is what I would be doing.

Just wondering if anyone has some fps results for gta v at 1440 p maxed out on 1 Titan x? I am sooooo close to taking the plunge with the asus Titan x to replace my 2 gtx 980 soc. They manage to hit 45-65 all on high but that's at the best aggressive oc I can get out of um and they spike 81 degrees after 30 mins and that's before summer! :/
