ek screws , dont think the nvidea ones fitted with springs.

Cool.

How odd as my NVidia small screws are to small for the block fitting, and none of the EK screws go through the back plate holes - confused???

Pictures of backplate fitted :-

you are putting the original hex screws from nv back into the block first right ?

You're actually likely to have a warmer room once your on water, as you'll be able to overclock them further (raiding their power and heat output).

No true, there is a hell of a lot less hot air exiting in to your room with water than running higher temps with air. No way the GPU is going to hit 80c under water where as it will with air...

Its not really worth worrying about though, water cooling is obv the better option but not if you are not comfortable with the risk ey.

Water cooling makes no difference to your room temps.

If a card uses 250 watts it will do it on air or water and that 250 watts will end up in your room.

Might as well add me kaap

Looks like another round of EK going out.

Nickel+Acetal block and backplate shipped today. That'll give us something to do next week.

Mine has shipped today and it will give me loads to do next week. :eek:

You use the nvidia nut screws to attached the Ek waterblock and then use the tiny screws to attached backplate as before.

For some strange reason the original very small screws that held the backplate on the original blower - are too small for the block fittings. What gives????

You sir are a genius - now realised where I have gone wrong, I did not use the hex screws, which the small screws go in to, which hold the backplate on.
Will disassemble and re do it. Many thanks for your help.

Welcome

room temp 21.5 card temp 23 mostly idle , have blu ray on in background.

Vore said:
It's plastic, are you fitting for aesthetics? Flow direction does not matter just dont use in/out on the same side as far as I am aware.

My original backplate is actually metal. How critical is it to not have inlet and outlet connected the same side of the card? Reason I ask is I have hardline tubing so much more of a pain to change my layout.

I suspect you have the old titan and old ek waterblock which is no direction specific. Its only reason ones where it makes a difference.

No it is deffo a Titan x Pascal, and I just got the block direct from EK - supposed to be for Titan xp. Still it is all working fine so no complaints here.
Have benched a little so far and have managed a core clock of 1987 so far. Water cooling these cards definitely makes a difference on temps/performance I feel. My room temp is pretty warm at the mo. about 26 degrees, but after several runs of Firestrike, max temp was only 39 degrees - well happy with that.

Is it possible to change the LED colour on the Titan P?

Gandahar · 30 Aug 2016 at 10:42

With water blocks what is the extra headroom in overclock on the gpu so far over the standard hsf?

Not with software or anything like that... but you can change it manually. As in hardware mod...

About 50-100MHz for me.

Left it without backplate for now... I like the dark PCB and the stock backplate doesn't feel like it would do much for cooling.
