Project Crimson Titan 2.5 Custom WC for GTX Titan X SCs SLI

15th Warlock · Oct 26, 2014

New update:

I finished installing the waterblocks and am in the process of leak proofing my loop:

Currently I have the loop running for 24hrs on an external PSU, will upload more pics once the leak testing ends and I can finally see the temps I get from these waterblocks.

Thanks to everyone who's read and posted in this thread, your support means a lot to me :rockout:

Blocks look very nice! Leak testing is always fun times... I hope you don't see any seepage/leakage

Very good work, can't wait to see it when it's done.

Thank you Matt, fun times indeed

The case is a bit more crowded than I expected coming from the HAF-X, but I'm sure I'll be able to tidy up and make everything fit once the leak testing is done

After 24hr leak testing all systems are go:

Hope you guys like the finished product, once more, thanks for all your replies and support :rockout:

manofthem · Oct 27, 2014

Like it? No, I love it! Looks great and I know it'll perform superbly :respect:

Great work yet again :toast:

Damn, you've made a very jealous man of me, lol.
Btw, if that's your kid, great work getting him exposed to building and overclocking early, especially if he put that OC on the 980s!

Thank you both so much :toast:

It looks a little crowded IMHO but I like the final result

And yes, that's my son, my little helper, always making dad proud

A new upgrade, still a work in progress, introducing ver. 2.5 with water cooled Titan X SCs in SLI:

The first card arrived today:

Testing it on my old 3930K/Titan SLI rig, no point in taking my GTX980s water loop apart until the second card and the EK full cover GPU water blocks arrive:

A picture of titanic proportions (sorry, I couldn't help it

)

The new Titan X, like the original Titan before, doesn't ship with backplates, some ppl say it's because of the RAM modules in the back of the card, or to prevent clearance issues in SLI, I call that BS on Nvidia's part, anyways, those backplates on my old Titans seem to have the exact same screw holes as the new one, I wonder if....

Card is running without a hitch, hope I can order its twin brother as soon as they're back in stock, I'll keep you guys posted

Please let me know what you guys think

What I think? I think you make me jelly!

Very awesome indeed, as anyone could say otherwise. Can't wait to see Titan X SLI.

Gotta admit, it would look so much sexier with a backplate, like your old Titans. The BS is solid, just cheaping out imo, but it's going to be AMAZING when they're on water with their plates :respect:

Thank you Matt! always appreciated :toast:

I was wondering if should strip my old Titans from their backplates, as they'll be sitting tightly together in their new micro ATX home, it seems like they'll fit the new Titan Xs perfectly hahaha :laugh:

Will upload more pics as more parts arrive, once again, thank you very much for your comments :rockout:

If the old boys can do without them, definitely give it a shot. At least take one off to ensure they will work on the new cards and then you'll know for sure. In an mATX case, I don't see the backplates adding much to the aesthetics

Jeez dude, don't immediately show all of up and make us envious of you again

Very nice!!! Cannot wait to see what your system changes after adding that, are you going to now swap the GTX 580 for the GTX 980 as a PhysX card?

Thank you

This time I wanna try using some of the HDMI ports to drive the two extra monitors from the second Titan, I'm hoping I can do that an still be able to use SLI, don't really think that much power is needed for PhysX.

More Titans (X's)!? :rockout:

You're a nutter :laugh:

If you do switch the back plates make sure it is an exact match. That being said - they're quite 'free' around components so if they sit nicely on the memory chips, I guess, why not?

Thanks man! I wouldn't be so into WC if it wasn't for you, remember how I used to PM you all these silly questions when I made my first custom loop?

It looks like the back plates match, I might actually give it a shot just for shit and giggles hahaha :laugh:

Hey guys, my next update is here, I finally have both cards

The water blocks should be arriving tomorrow, I'll update with more pics as soon as I put the cards under water, thank you guys for your comments! :lovetpu:

That desk doesn't look big enough for all those GPUs. If, uh, you need someone to, you know, hold any of them.. I'll totally hold them for you. You know, as a favor.

Thank you! Just a small teaser:

http://www.3dmark.com/fs/4503476

That blows out of the water my previous results with my 980s at 1500MHz by aprox 50%!

http://www.3dmark.com/fs/4449365

And those cards were under water, I can only imagine what these cards can do once I get the water blocks and play with the voltages.

Will upload more results once I can properly bench the cards with water cooling :rockout:

Damn you.

That makes them >50% faster than my 780ti Classy's. You're not helping me 'not buy' one......

Just hang in there mate, the 980Ti will most likely offer the same or even better performance for a far better price, I highly doubt 12GBs of frame buffer will be necessary any time soon :toast:

Besides, the performance you get from those 780s should be plenty for anything outside of 4K gaming for the time being

Very nice warlock, looks great (and powerful).

1 suggestion on your loop, I notice you are running your GPU out directly to your Res in. Keep an eye on that, a lot of these Res's have adhesives and plastics in them, and they are normally only rated up to 60 Celsius. I ran my loops (by no means a seasoned expert) directly into the rad to get a wave of cooling before I pushed it back into the res, just to take off the initial shock of the heat. Then from the Res into the first GPU.

Thanks for the suggestion, this is actually my second EK reservoir as the first one (exact same model) started showing some small hairline cracks in the acrylic, it never leaked, but it didn't look nice either

I thought it was defective, but it could've been heat induced.

I'll take your suggestion into consideration when I rebuild the water loop later today, once again, thanks for the head's up :toast:
