The EVGA GeForce GTX TITAN X combines the technologies and performance of the new NVIDIA Maxwell architecture in the fastest and most advanced graphics card on the planet. ... EVGA GeForce GTX TITAN X HydroCopper
I thought Nvidia don't allow non-reference builds ? So will this be released as an assembly kit where you need to swap the cooler out yourself ?
According to this link it looks like it's going to come assembled. It's more or less a reference card still, only the cooler is exchanged.
nV likely wants to keep reference PCB to prevent AIB cards from reaching crazy overclocks which would increase moral lifespan of cards, which with Titan name is already high.
Still they put special voltage controlls on them, like Vet mentioned in the other thread. Might make them last longer (and overclock higher) eventually, even with the reference pcb.
There is no point volt nodding these on air, you will kill the card. The vrms will pop, remember its the electrical current that kills and not the amount of voltage. Running any card with a volt mod on air is something I would never ever do. However a card without a voltmod that s running on water is a waste of cooling. The reason why I sent the 980s back was because of no proper voltage controller. Hence they don't clock very high at all even when using something like evbot.
