The GTX Titan X owners thread.

[Kaapstad]

Anyone with the Gigabyte Titans tried overclocking yet? Just got mine and wondered how far you can push them?

Don't forget to post pics to get on "The Roll of Honour".

One thing I was not happy with when I purchased my Titan X, can you believe after paying £900 I didn't get any haribo!!!! I feel a stiff letter of complaint at this injustice being drafted sir

 

[darket]

I could have ordered any of the instock cards, but prefer EVGA due to allowing cooler removal. Also, the pre overclocked SC works best for me due to running system at stock

The only time any of these manufacturers will know if you've removed the cooler is if you damage the card in doing so, strip or round off a load of the screws or just return it looking tampered with. Not even EVGA will honor any warranty in this case.

Evga's statment on cooler removal basically says if you remove the stock cooler when you return it to them it needs to be in factory condition , I.E use common sense.

as said above they are all the same i have got my msi card running at +200 on the core and+400 on the memory. i think i could push it more but im going to wait until i have water cooled mine first

Ok cheers for the info. Just need to get rid of my 980s now to claw some monies back

dont damage the head of the screws

Gibbo... Any EVGA SuperClocks in this week?

 

[Orangey]

Some of those little electronics screws (on clamp bracket) can be a pita, not sure how you would avoid stripping at least 1 of them at least partially.

Not talking about the TX, just remembering my 5850s.

 

[SpeckleD]

If you use the correct type and size of screwdriver head this should never happen. If you insert the screwdriver into the screw and you have any movement if the screwdriver in the screw head at all you are not using the correct type or size, this is what strips 99% of screws

 

[Gregster]

8 Pack took time out to have a chat with me after smashing up several world records on the Titan X bench runs. He was running 4 way Titan Xs at over 1700Mhz/2000Mhz and the whole system just looked like a massive ice cube at the end

Might want to add that in the OP somewhere Kaap?

 

[Orangey]

And what if they're so overtightened you have to brute force it?

This^^ and using a cheap set of screwdrivers. Cheap drivers are made of poor chocolate like material, poor tolerances for a good fit.

High quality but relatively good screwdrivers are Wera tools. For PC stuff you'll want PH00 PH0 PH1 PZ0 PZ1 PZ2. Know the difference between Philips and POZI drive.

 

[Orangey]

I have pozi. Maybe I'm just a cryptosuperhero like Bruce Willis in Unbreakable and don't know my own strength.

 

[Ayahuasca]

I think most people strip them by having an unhealthy OCD of over tightening things.

 

[Mal X]

dont pull the card apart unless you intend to fit a full water block, because i tried Air and it looks way too big too ugly..........it's 5 slots deep

 

[Quartz]

When my card failed my first thought was to take the cooler off to check that the plug for the fan hadn't come off but there were anti-tamper stickers on the back, so I didn't.

 

[Mal X]

the plugs cant just come out, they're a tight interference fit, there's two plugs, the other is for the ``GEFORCE GTX`` LED

Very good video and added to the Extreme Benching section.

Thanks Gregster.
