If you like to run at sensible temps, you will hear the fans, depending how good your case cooling is will reflect on how fast the Titan's fan will have to spin.
Too many variables but all I can say is it's the quietest blower fan I've used.

They do look nice but Heat Killers look the proverbials
Are watercool making heatkillers for it?
If it's a choice between EK and aquacomputer I would begrudgingly choose aquacomputer, even thoguh it is copper and I'd ruin it lol.
they can't afford them neither..

Alright thanks for the advice, I will be running 1 monitor at 1440p so I guess the 690 would be better; although it's very likely that the lovely 6GB of memory on the Titan will come in useful in the near future... choices, choices...
I am sure they will be but no mention yet. The EK's I had worked a treat and looked 'ok'. That is all I can say and given the choice, I would have prefered the Aqua blocks but I couldn't wait any longer.
I am in no rush this time and may not even bother with water but if big gains come from doing water, I will and by then, they may have the Heatkillers out
Hard choices because it comes down to things like - How often do you upgrade - what settings do you want - what are your accepted fps etc...But the 690 for 1440P is a good choice 'as we stand now'
Crystal balls would be great

I waited ages and almost got the EK's. Glad I didn't though as I really don't like their CSQ guff.
The copper on the outside of my blocks is oxidising though :/. Damn my clumsiness. Next time I upgrade gpu I will make sure there are nickel blocks in the works.
Well I've finally got my pc from the spec in my sig and due to having to download EVERYTHING, I've not really had the chance to play with the card properly yet. What did make me laugh was how the titan copes with the aliens colonial marines game at max settings vsynced at 144hz. Never reached its 3D base clock rate for a 30 minute gaming session on it 
I guess that oxidising can't be avoided?

Your wish is my command Gregster -
At last I have my cards, and that pic needed a Dalek.
Look at that beauty.
There is a shot of the cards finally installed in my rig.
A shot of the outgoing GTX 480s that have served me so well for so long.
I've been running some benchies and they are interesting for my resolution - seems the newer games show the best improvement and the Heaven and Valley scores are much improved. As it's late I'll compile some results tomorrow evening.
I think it is driver related. So many peeps having TDP problems (not reaching 100%(me included)) and I implore anyone who is having this, let Nvidia know.

first waterblock is on and tested - managed 1175 stable (no downclocking) but where as on the aircooler it would let me set and get 1.2v, with the waterblock on it's only letting me get 1.182v... which is odd... if I could get the full 1.2 I think it would do 1200ish
That is weird. A block shouldn't make any odds to volts.
@ Sk3lph. Very nice. I do love the seleton cases and the lighting works well

with the actual volts are being controlled by the bios / drivers... it must be a temperature related thing... but as per that thread you linked to, it doesn't make much sense for it to be limiting the volts when colder, and there's no fan attached so it's not like the fan drawing power could be affecting it either
don't get me wrong, I'm pretty pleased with 1175 with no down clocking (and no noise!), but there is something nice about hitting a round number like 1200
GPU core is running at about 32-34C on full load (water at 24-25C)
I ran both of my cards seperately last night with the door open and ran Valley with the TDP @ 106% but neither card would reach 96%. I could keep temps under 50c and it would throttle down from ~1150 to ~1027 iirc.
Early drivers, so I won't be kicking off yet and I am sure they will have it sorted. It is just a little frustrating that it throttles without any reason.

My card is stable at 1150mhz core now, with volts at max in EVGA precision. Gives 1.187 volts. @ 1.2 volts I think I could hit 1200mhz core maybe higher. This card needs more volts
For those talking about downclocking, if you have vsync enabled and a target of 60fps. I've noticed the card only needs to run at abut 600mhz - 800mhz to achieve that on some games. Games like BF3 run at full turbo as more power is needed to achieve 60fps. If you disable vsync and your card isn't overheating it will turbo to it's max and stay there until heat becomes an issue. If you get your card under water it will turbo all day..
