so I have some titans on order does anyone know how much radiator I will need if i decide to watercool three ?

I would go a 360+240 or maybe even a couple of 240s would do.

Lol africananos if you want to know the meaning of pain lookup the 780ti kingpin thread on this very forum. 1 week wait? Pah!

I have an EVGA Titan X on the way from a competitor which I got for £860 and £15 back from quidco.

I might have to get one an Acer Predator XB270HU IPS G-Sync monitor to go with it..

i'm running 280 + 120 + 200mm rads cooling both cpu and soon a Titan x, cooled an sli 780 setup fine with only slow fans, i think some people go a little silly with rads and fans.

I have a feeling those IPS 144hz panels will have ghosting. Although nVidia have said they tweak the voltages on each different GSYNC screen to get rid of ghosting so we'll see if it holds true.

No chance I'd pay nearly £700 for an Acer screen though.

Those 1440p monitor prices for 120hz and 144hz are :eek:

That sounds great I have a case labs pedestal with two 360's in it so i will only need blocks bridge and backplates

Ive only done one WC system before do you know which bridge i would need for a rampage v ?

I'm starting to regret ordering 2 evga ones.

probably not see them till the 7th with Easter looming.... on another question, does anyone know if the sli bridge comes with the cards, or do I need to get up in the loft and dig through the motherboard box?

thanks in advance

ROG Swift and a TX will be you sorted for gaming. An easy choice to make if you have the funds.

Second that!

Will be a great combo

Comes with motherboard so right length can be used.

They are due in on the 2nd, it's definitely not been the best launch for us Brits

No probs and I ran 3 Titans which got quite hot on air with a 480+360 and temps never got hot and could easily have run another with those rads.

I would assume you just need a standard 3 way bridge (you should have got them with your mobo) but Silent Scone can confirm

Edit:

If you meant the water block bridge, see below

Silent_Scone · 24 Mar 2015 at 19:45

You just need the standard 3 slot

Seems to be a fair bit of blur unless you use ULMB which doesn't work with GSYNC.

Need it from the motherboard box or you could order the fixed evga bridge which are quiet nice

Who cares about Free sync / G sync, just throw as much GPU horsepower or lower settings until you don't drop below your screen refresh rate !

Ayahuasca · 24 Mar 2015 at 21:33

A lot of people care mate.

I'm sure Greg can vouch for how good it is and he was using 3 Titans.

tipes · 24 Mar 2015 at 21:34

Very tempted to order the Evga sc, but does anybody know whether they are cherry picked chips or not, and what memory chips they use?

Mark

Ayahuasca · 24 Mar 2015 at 21:35

They aren't cherry picked, the card isn't even that much more than the standard one.

Expect to pay quite a premium for any binned cards but I doubt we'll see a Classified or Kingpin Titan X.
