Ah shiz. Another one bites the dust! 
1.495 is about right but whats your loop? My single 420mm hits over 70c with 1.4v lol
Although it's coming apart soon.
What volts were you running through the Titan to kill it?

1.495
I am now rocking a 6970, as after benching, I was sat on the desktop just browsing and the computer just shut off. Wouldn't power back on, so grabbed an old 8800GT and no probs but tried again with the Titan and nothing, no power, nadda, zip
Oh well, crap happens
Sounds like a perfect excuse to get a full refund and then a couple of 780Ti's with the cash

There was no volts apart from the stock (not sure what that is). I had done my benching and called it a day. Eating a sandwhich reading here and that was it. My ambients were around 12c

Afraid so
Unlucky bud!
What did I say earlier in the thread! Brimstone and fire... You've done a Newit

Stock volts? :O That's a bit concerning! How many rads do you have in that loop to get those temps! Mine are in the 20s.

Commiserations Gregos.
You'll be laughing if you get a full refund though. Did you order from OcuK or elsewhere? How much did you pay initially? Be interested to see if you get a market value refund or the full whack, or even just a replacement titan.

They have Titans in stock

I think he got it elsewhere. I seem to remember him saying his order got delayed by one day (thanks to DPD) so he didn't get it on launch day.

Yer, it came from a place that sounds like scam and reading a story earlier, I have concerns. I paid £817 for it and it is at the post office being sent back for RMA as we speak. I want a replacement Titan in truth and anything else will be hard to take.
@ Frosty, I have a 360 and a 240 fat rads cooling the CPU and GPU, well just the CPU now

Absolutely

Nice. My single 420mm Coolgate doesn't seem to be anywhere near as good as yours. My EK block is a bit makeshift though. Was one of the originals for Socket 2011 with some additional parts. I guess having more rads really does do wonders though

The fatter the rad, just means the less work the fans have to do, so you can run them low and they are quiet. The EK block I got was the RX variant and my first fitting was shocking and I put far too much grease on but after stripping it all down and doing it properly, temps are fantastic.
Not considered a 290X no?
Away with your blasphemy. In truth though, I would miss my 3D too much but as a second play around card, I am in

I'm sure it will be fine with them. People use after sales support as justification pay over the odds here but I've never had any problems with any retailer so it seems barmy to me. Even if I did still shop at OcUK (which I don't) I wouldn't pay more than a couple of quid extra on the off chance you might need the CS. The CS is very good here but I don't think that's something you should pay extra for. All my opinion of course.
I buy the cheapest I can get at a reputable retailer, whoever that may be at the time.

Unlucky Greg Still, it went out swinging.
I'll get that on the board shortly.
Don't worry Clovis, I'll sort you out too
