My TX was very quiet. Of course it was dead quiet after the fan broke.
How crap is that, ~£860 for a titan and the fan breaks :=(

200 and 500 is easy for this card, but is too high for 1080p ........ i select 120 and 120, but the priority now is to take a look at the thermal paste and figure out if it's worth fitting Arctic Accelero arriving tomorrow............. it probably is
yea but i've lost my Phillips screwdriver, so i dont think i can get the cover off tonight
Nope, really easy to take the cooler off, two screw on the end bracket vents by the DVI port then all the screws on the back, I always leave the 4 around the core until last and unscrew them in a criss-cross pattern bit by bit (don't let them jump off as they are sprung).
I am sorry you only have one Phillips screwdriver

Torx screws anyway? So good luck using a phillips.
Or not, what do I know. I stink of **** and have no mates.

That's just the COD engine, it's awful apparently.
ive spent the last 2 hours looking for a fix Christ!
found a Phillips socket set 
my spare room upstairs is an Alladins cave of DIY tools and junk...
i removed the cooler really easily and found the paste to be well applied
damn it what a bummer, so i replaced it with Arctic MX2 and that's it.......... runs about the same and maybe cools down a bit quicker.
ok, so i'm going to fit the new cooler late tomorrow after work.............fingers crossed !!!!!!!!!

I still need to post Unity running if anyone still wanted that.
Just benchmarked Rome 2 using DSR 4587@1920 . All settings at max (except AA which I believe is only FXAA or MLAA anyway) and it averages 75fps in the benchmark. This is with SLI enabled, and pleasingly getting great using on both cards and a pretty smooth experience.

COD was running fine prior to the new patch well over 70% usage. I'm lucky now with the new patch if it runs overs 60% (more in the 30-50% range).
I have 3 profiles
Stock , +200/+200 and +250/+500
1189/7000 - 1389/7400 and 1439/8000
If the game isn't that demanding I use the cards stock clocks with a custom fan profile, so the heat/noise isn't that bad. If not I use a small OC (1389/7400, max temp 75c, fan is 59% at that temp) to get FPS slightly higher and I run the max stable OC (1439/8000) to bench with a constant 70% fan.

Ok results are in for my 3x Titan X’s AIOs:
Setup:
3x Stock Nvidia Titan X’s with stock BIOS with EVGA 980 All-In-One liquid coolers
Case/Cooling: Caselabs Mercury S8. 7 intake fans. 6 exhaust fans (room for 1 more exhaust)
Fans: All Corsair SP120 Quiet Editions running at the static full speed of 1,450RPM 23dBA
GPU Fan speed: Lowest possible setting (22% around 1050RPM)
GPU setup: Sandwich stacked
Overclock: +225Mhz on all 3 cards (1440Mhz speed)
Highest temperature rating running intense GPU benchmarks: 60C (Probably 50C in games)
I couldn’t find anything to measure GPU VRM & Memory temp unless someone can point me in the right direction
If this was Tri-SLI sandwich stacked on air, the GPU fans would probably be running at 100% at a full 5800RPM and would probably be reaching 90C+ and throttling. Plus 100x louder.
Yes I have room for 1 more AIO Titan X & a slot at the top to put the radiator but I don’t think I’ll need it! (at least just yet)
My biggest complaint is the motors make an annoying buzzing sound. I am VERY familiar with the problems all the Corsair CPU AIOs have and this isn’t any of them. This isn’t the sound of air trapped inside nor the sound of the pump getting too much voltage leading to a ticking sound. It’s the same sound as a wire slightly touching one of your case fans or something. My suspicion is maybe the pump is getting too much voltage or this is just how they are. I have to run a voltage regulator on my Corsair CPU AIO H105 so it doesn’t make a horrible grinding/ticketing sound. This might be happening because the Titan X’s fan the pump leeches off of may have more amps than the 980s and this pump was made for the 980 so that MAY be the cause but again unsure. When I just had one of these running, my fans running at 725RPM would cover up the sound. Having 3 of these now the buzzing sound grows. Now I can still SLIGHTLY hear it even when my fans are at full 1,450 RPM. Again not a big deal because I can’t hear it at all when playing games or there’s some type of background noise. Only in a quiet room with just my computer running I can hear the motors.
These AIOs perform in both performance and sound exactly where it should. Between air cooling and full water cooling. I am happy with the purchase but I wish it didn’t have the buzzing sound. I may get a single Titan X AIO if EVGA ever comes out with one to see if the buzzing goes away. I don’t think I can mod the voltage to the pump since it uses a weird small 4 pin connector that the GPU fan uses.
It’s not pretty but it’s functional! I stopped caring how the inside of my case looked a few years ago when I realized I was spending more time building my computers than actually using them. No window on my case. I recommend everyone try to do the same. It’s like a weight has been lifted off your shoulders.
