ZOTAC Unveils the GeForce GTX TITAN-X ArcticStorm Edition
Even as NVIDIA prevents its AIC (add-in card) partners from coming up with custom-design GeForce GTX TITAN-X graphics cards, ZOTAC seems to have found its way around that, either by using a loophole that allows partners to come up with TITAN-series cards with "factory fitted water blocks," or NVIDIA is loosening up on its custom-design policy for the SKU, in the wake of GTX 980 Ti not being faster than the GTX TITAN-X, and competition from AMD "Fiji XT" graphics card. The result, is the GeForce GTX TITAN-X ArcticStorm (model number: ZT-90402-10P).
This card comes with a hybrid air+liquid cooling solution. You can run it either as a conventional air-cooled graphics card, care of its meaty IceStorm triple-fan heatsink, which is carried over from the company's recent AMP! Omega SKUs; or plumb the card to a liquid-cooling loop. The fans stay off when the GPU is below a 65°C temperature threshold (or when the liquid-cooling loop is active). Even with the fans off and the liquid cooling loop handling the GPU, the heatsink cools the 12 GB of memory and VRM. The card offers factory-overclocked speeds of 1026 MHz core, 1114 MHz GPU Boost (compared to 1000/1086 MHz reference), and an untouched 7.00 GHz memory. ZOTAC will display the card at Computex 2015. The company will give this card a worldwide launch.

I lapped my 2x Titan-X's before I even installed them as well as my XSPC water-block for them and never looked back.
In-fact, the only cooler I can allow to be installed for a while until I get fed up with the sound are the AMD reference coolers which seem to cool the cards reasonably well but sound like your in a jet about to take off!
Some might say that I am being extreme, but my GPU thanks me for my efforts :P
I can imagine it would take much of a loop to cool two of these. a 120x2 radiator would likely be plenty,.... the fans could surely pick up the extra heat.

The recent spite of non reference cooler releases seem to point in that direction, Maxwell loves low temps and can easily reach 1500MHz when under water, I think this is a preemptive strike to soften the blow of AMD taking the fastest single GPU crown back from the green team.
