Just wondering about the perspex cover on the stock cooler that some of these cards seem to have. I had to remove a fingerprint protection sticker off it so i assume the perspex stays on? Just dosnt seem like it has any purpose other than making it look cheap. Probably could have found this out myself but have not had any days off since i got it.

Guessing the purpose is to funnel the air flow across the heatsink and exhaust the hot air out the back rather than in to the case? With it being reference and therefore better for sli, I'd say it's absolutely necessary to have something there.
That makes sense, thanks dude.

I need to prepare to disassemble the Titan X cover today.
Is there a guide anywhere, or can someone tell me what screw drivers I will need? I have plenty of Phillips heads but only one Torx head.

Found this on the EKWB website - Installation and mounting manual for EK-FC Titan X water block
Just use the removing stock cooler pic here

Don't forget the 2 screws in the bracket at the end that those instructions don't mention.

I won't need to remove the thermal compound with an AIO solution will I?

You probably will, the AIO might come with its own already on it.

My Palit find was a false positive after all. So i have a Gigabyte due tomorrow (I am sure Parcelforce will try to mess that up).
On the above posts - which AIO bracket fits the Titan X out of interest?
Thanks in advance

Not quite as long as yours but I ordered mine around about the 28th, there seems to be a severe backlog with that particular card.
Cancelled my order today, 780 has done better then I thought at 1440p so I’m going to wait and see what the TI card brings and decide between that and a Titan then.
Prime example of what happens when you sit on the fence with technology, I should have ordered day 1.

Mines shipped, wonder how long it takes buying direct?
Hopefully! Please can you post when you received it? If you end up receiving yours before I receive mine i'll have to give them an angry phone call!
may I ask when you placed your order?

Not without breaking the rules.
EVGA SC.
You can work it out based on the above.
5 day shipping what's a shame.
