Just found this waterblock review

Has anyone heard what has happened to those really cool SLI bridges that were seen at the Titan launch.

I thought NVidia were going to sell these.

I've tried both the XSPC one and now the Aquacomputer one and they perform pretty much exactly the same, both good blocks.

Which do you prefer, the Aquacomputer one ?

khemist · 9 May 2013 at 19:51

Probably the Aquacomputer one because of the clear top, should look nicer with the backplate as well although i liked how the XSPC one covered the whole pcb.

If you get a backplate will you be posting some pics.

khemist · 9 May 2013 at 20:33

Definitely!.

For those who has Titan EVGA Backplate.
I took my backplate off today and guess what?
All memory chips on the edge of PCB had no contact with backplate at all.I have try to put new thermal pads 0.5. mm - same issue, they to thin.I have try 1mm pads but they too thick.
I have removed thermal-pads , as I think it is much better way, rather that using a "rubber" on memory chips with no contact to the backplate.

A good article here on the gains that are achieved with overclocking. Very impressive.

Tried out the T.I. bios earlier out of curiosity, was good and and had constant speeds without fluctuating but flashed back to stock now.

I am on it also but heat is holding me back

I need waterblocks badly.

khemist · 18 May 2013 at 21:20

Yeah, it's a crime not to get them,

i should have my Aquacomputer active backplate around the 28th or so, can't wait to get it installed... for looks if nothing else.

Will probably change the colour of fluid as well.

I tried out a few different bios versions. One of my cards would only go to 1124mhz no matter the voltage though. I keep them on 1110 just to be safe. I was hoping for closer to 1200mhz with a 1212mv bios but it wasn't to be. Even at under 40c

I also couldn't make 1200Mhz. 1196Mhz iirc was the highest bench I could get.

You should have a go at that physics bench thread you started (Fluidmark I think it was), using drivers 320.00. On a single Titan it is possible to run a clock speed well over 1200mhz doing it. I even managed to overclock the Titan higher than my GTX 690 for that bench. Sadly those sort of overclocks don't work on any other benches.

khemist · 19 May 2013 at 09:37

Spotted a guy on another forum who has a card that hits almost exactly the same speeds as mine.

This is mine - 1215/7516

And his - 1215/7532, both cpu's are at 5.0 but his is a 3930k.

Yeah, mine was stupidly high.

I wish I had never started that bench..... I hate it

Here are some benches using the first graphics test in 3dmark11, the reason for doing them was not to get a score but to show what GPU clocks were reached and how increasing the overclock works in practice.

For all of these overclocks the CPU was @5.1ghz

+161 on GPUs

+168 on GPUs no difference to actual clocks

+174 on GPUs a bump in actual clocks

+181 on GPUs no difference to actual clocks

+187 on GPUs a bump in actual clocks (hey were all over 1200mhz)

+194 on GPUs no difference to actual clocks

+200 on GPUs a bump in actual clocks, I crashed on this one near the end of the test but not before I got the clock speed.

The point of these runs is to show that you only get an increase in actual clocks if you overclock in 13mhz steps
