The Pascal Titan X and XP Owners Thread

[Stunted]

EVGA did do a hybrid cooler for the t-x. both mine were using them. They're working on one for the tx-p, but it's a ways off yet.

 

[Combat Fighter]

Titans never have that option though, its always stock cooler, only gigabyte iirc bundled a windforce style cooler with one of their titan cards so the end user had an option to change it.

I can see evga bringing out a shroud and aio for it though.

Does not matter how fancy or not the air cooler is. They are all crud, hence I'll rip it off everytime.

Waterblock for the win.

 

[tyler_jrb]

Yeah I didnt put one of those in but do have a proper drain ball valve but my situation is going to be as follows

Finish building new pc by weekend with Titan on air.

Drain on 18th to fit waterblock.

Drain again on 30th to fit backplate.

Not too bad , one of the drawbacks of custom loop.

Past few months had to drain mine 3-4 times. Install 1080's, clean rad, setup CPU block etc.

Then again another 1-2 times over the next month for TXP and backplate. Likely I'll get the backplate first before install to save the hassle of draining a second time.

Sorry I'm confused, one of the pictures shows EVGA Titan X I thought they were GeForce branded this version or am I being a ****?

Those are boxes for the old Titan X, NVIDIA decided to keep the same name as the older architecture card for extra confusion.

 

[Panos]

Quick question, what's NV warranty policy on watercooling?

 

[Vore]

Are you guys waiting for the EK backplate or are you just going to use the stock one?

 

[Mark_D]

Are you guys waiting for the EK backplate or are you just going to use the stock one?

Is there any advantage to using the EK one other than aesthetics?

Stock one won't fit with full block unless you stick it on.

They are active backplates so yeah will remove some heat from the back of the card. EK ones use thermal pads for the VRAM, core and VRM areas. Stock backplate doesn't.

I think this time from a picture I saw in a review nvidia has put one thermal pad on its backplate.

And what's to stop me from putting more pads on?

After all both back plates are just a sheet of aluminium aren't they?

You sure? Thought it might like last time but you would have to use the nvidia screws not the waterblock screws?

Wow.. this card is vastly different in 4k. The Acer monitor looks stunning with all the 4k content chucked on it. Really impressed. And man the smoothness

Dunno whether to go to EKB and QDC.. seems like a very expensive option compared to the EVGA AIO. I wonder how long EVGA will need to make one, even though they've confirmed they are making one on the forums.

Maybe towards the end of September knowing their current build times................

I've just moved all posts which don't belong in the owners thread. If you have questions about the card itself, ask in the Pascal Titan X launch thread

Having used AIO on gpu and using EK with QDC and Predator 360, i will pick the last over anything else.
It has all the benefits of custom loop, no need to worry for leaks, and is expandable if needed.
The only drawback over custom loop no clear tubes and colours.

And if you sell it later, anyone can remove the tubles, water and plug the card+block to their custom loop. AIO you rely for people having the extra space to fit it.

And by September you of course mean December knowing their current ability to meet deadlines

TROH me please!

Actually came through on the 4th, but I've only just got round to taking a pic.

Having just checked my 1080's yeah they should do. My bad . But make sure you have a 4mm socket as they are nut type screws.

Backplate is also active as well for those wanting to know if the EK backplate is worth it other than for aesthetics.

Titan stock backplate is semi active too. Well at least in the photos it has a thermal pad.
