The GTX Titan X owners thread.

[OCPete]

...A bit off topic but I've always wondered why people would prefer Nvidia's reference cooler over an aftermarket ( I know the Titian doesn't have any) Are they really good or something? Why do aftermarket coolers never look like that?

I have a referance 780 and the titan style cooler is a high quality bit of kit. IMO it looks good and works really well. It is also not loud. Even on high rpm its not a harsh loud noise, more a whoosh of air (if that makes sense). IMO its very well designed. It is substantial, and seems well made. Its screams quality when you see / install it.

It also has cool features like programmable LEDs etc. Its a proper bit of kit.

I had reference 780s once. The cooler is matte plastic. It's loud if you wanted a decent overclock which hopefully everyone in this thread would.

Thanks for that explanation mate. What are the temps like compared to an aftermarket cooler?

I had cheap reference 780s once. The cooler is matte plastic. It's loud if you wanted a decent overclock which hopefully everyone in this thread would.

Fixed for you, titan cooler is nice.

2x 980 or titan x...

2 x titan x

You guys appear to suggest the original Titan cooler is different to the referance 780 cooler. How so?

I thought they were identical excepting the lettering. They certainly look identical.

I've not owned both but reviews stated the two were identical, and they tested the performance (temps and noise) to be almost identical.

Is it today? should I put on my condom and nappy?

The reference 780 cooler (Titan) is/was metal not plastic.

It was basically used the same design ethos as the GTX690.

Just get your card ready.

They are, but everyone calls it the titan cooler
They did sell the cheap nasty plastic coolers as well, so saying titan cooler just clears up the confusion.

Afaik the Titan cooler was a vapour chamber type cooler whereas the other wasn't? Titan owners will confirm.

Not for me, but I will be well happy seeing people like Kaap and Greggy play !

I'm waiting for the 390 sex

Price will be the decider for me. I know it will be high it is just whether I can stomach it.

Been holding off upgrading for a while and have caught the itch.

Titan price dude. I'll wild guess it being the same price. It did set a new record after all

But yeah, even Nvidia have to be careful.

While quite tempted I'd have a lot easier time parting with my money if it was 16nm FF or below :S (Plus I like my GB WF cooling though the Titan cooler is a work of art).

 

[oweneades]

I'm hoping for less than the original Titan price (given it doesn't appear to have the compute ability) although it won't surprise me if it is the same.

Too much for me if that is the case.

780 cooler is also Vapour chamber. Your thinking about the 900 series where they made a cooler that looks similar to the Titan and 780 but has a heat sink instead of the vapour chamber.

I'd say the second incarnation would be cheaper (IE Titan X black). They'll milk the first one just because it's a new core tech (sorta).

True although I am holding onto a bit of hope (no idea why).

Just Titan price IMO.

My blacks felt quite cheap at £695 a go lol.
