Swapped the cards around and just seen some slight corruption on the desktop again.

What could that mean?

that looks like a faulty card..........the start of a faulty card, or too much OC

VincentHanna · 9 Apr 2015 at 20:03

Not both cards though, surely.

It's not even overclocked really.

P.B · 9 Apr 2015 at 20:03

mal isn't that part of the gpus bios ? drivers shouldn't affect it should it ?

Ayahuasca · 9 Apr 2015 at 20:08

All I can suggest Vincent is trying each card solo for a while.

Mal X · 9 Apr 2015 at 20:13

no when i looked at the old ASUS 970 software, it said ``TITAN X enabled``...... i forgot to delete all that stuff, because as soon as it was gone the TX fan started up........... it must have recognised Titan X instantly but used the old 970 fan profile instead.

the Asus Strix 970 had no fan until about 60 to 65 degrees and at only 30%..... because by then the Titan X is toast, it just went straight up to 91 degrees, it did this 6 times until i suddenly spotted the Asus Software still there on the Desktop.

my rig downloaded the TITAN X drivers two weeks ago :confused:

.... and i bet these went into the 970 folder, not sure, but the fan was deffo cured by deleting the 970 Drivers

Don't take this the wrong way, but it would make me feel a bit better knowing I wasn't the only one that had a few issues/ a faulty TX

I didn't see any corruption or anything like that though. Just hard system locks on loading certain games, really weird.

I've been running my system as it was with 780Ti SLI for 3 days now since sacking the TX, and testing the **** out of everything and having zero problems.......my TX was therefore definitely to blame.

Law of averages means there will be a few of us on here that get a duffer or two. I'm normally very lucky with my pc hardware though.

Should I take the Kraken G10 and Nzxt X40 off one of my 780 Classifieds and attach it to my TitanX, or should i just go the whole hog and Watercool it properly?

I suppose I could try the G10 and X40 first to see how the card copes and then go the full waterblock route.......mmmmm decisions, decisions

Mal X · 9 Apr 2015 at 20:58

i've got the G10 and X41 on reserve order just in case, but i think i'll probably get used to the noise

Nice looking system, Mal. :cool:

Do it. Proper watercooling is very costly, but so is Titan X

Ayahuasca · 9 Apr 2015 at 21:02

Watercool it properly on don't bother in my opinion.

It's not even the core what's the problem, mine has never broke 70c when gaming on an aggressive profile, my case cooling is very good though and I don't mind noise as long as it's not whiney, the chips on the back of the card heat it up the most and if you have your memory overclocked it's even worse.

Mal X · 9 Apr 2015 at 22:15

you can deffo hear it whilst gaming, it's running like crazy all the time in FC3 even if you're in the menu.... i might get that Kraken but it does look cheap and tacky, i'd rather sneak it in, under the standard cooler shroud

Tonester0011 · 9 Apr 2015 at 22:18

Why would you bodge a cooler when the option to do it properly exists?

Geeman1979 · 9 Apr 2015 at 22:19

Agreed^^^

On a card of that value.... do it right or not at all.

Take the SLI bridge off, reboot and see if it still does it.

My QDCs arrived, 9 days! Bloody Easter.

Hard to believe this one pair cost £30, oh well when you've got 'em you've got 'em.

As good as the black 1's look... I strongly suggest you return them and get the silver 1's. I have had a couple of the black 1's stick which obviously causes issues since the valve doesnt properly close allowing fluid to escape during disconnect. My "spare" set which I used as drain pipes are now not usable (the female part has pretty much locked completely and the valve will not close at all)

From what I have read, this is only a problem with the black 1's. Sadly I have 5 pairs of the blacks. The warranty wont even cover it as using anything other than Koolance's own fluid invalidates the warranty and I use Mayhems X1.

Nice.

1 CPU and 1 Titan X on a 240mm rad ?

Was thinking of getting a 360mm to SLI my Titan Xs but someone mentioned it won't be enough.
