Gigabyte is planning on releasing a non-reference board that is equipped with its multi-fan WindForce 3X cooling.

Reference cooler looks 10x better, better build quality no doubt to. I don't see the point if it's going to be priced higher than the standard titan, anyone blowing that kind of money is gonna watercool their titan which will put any three fan cooler to shame.

Looks pretty nice, though I prefer the reference design more. If I rma my 480 SOC, they might accidentally replace it with one of these. :D

That's not build quality, you're talking about material expense, totally different things.
 
The question is will nVidia allow Gigabyte to sell these ? nVidia have earlier stated that GTX Titan is only to be sold with the reference cooler.

so how do you explain EVGA being able to release hydrocopper versions?

the cooler is largely irrelevant anyway, people are not getting massively better OC's on water than they are on air... a decent bios update and changes to the PCB / VRM's would be needed to really push these cards, and that is the bit that Nvidia definitely won't allow

Simple... I can't. I can only see very diffuse information scattered all around and contradicting statements originally to be that nVidia would allow changes to either Mhz, voltage nor cooling solutions. Then I read that nVidia allowed eVGA as the only manufacturer to tinker with some voltage adjustments.

I can't say anything for sure - but I'm just wondering as what to believe.
 
from what I've read, no one is allowed to play with voltages beyond 1.21v
there's been rumours or confirmations of a couple of non-standard cooling solutions and boost clocks, but no one has been allowed to change the reference PCB to one that allows for more power (so far)
