I recently did a playthrough of it with a widescreen 1080p mod and a texture mod, now I'm doing the same with Most Wanted and oh my god the nostalgia... We don't make games like we used to, raging at how hard the AI was half the fun ;) It'll never be the same as when I played it on the PS2 though
Before watching the vid: awsome channel you have and I'm not even that big gamer or PC enthusiast. But I learn a lot here and man you can speak fast! :) But this also means you know what you are talking about, which I absolutely love. Keep up the good work and congrats for 60k subs already. Greetings from Hungary mate!
My water cooled Titan XP achieves a sold 1867Mhz stock boost vs. 1534Mhz when using the stock aircooler. It's apparent that either I have a slightly better GPU than their unit or the waterblock is superior to the Hybrid solution, or a bit of both is involved. Manual overclock I was able to attain are 2088Mhz GPU and 11880Mhz Memory. I've only had the Titan XP water cooled for a few days and will continue to play with the clocks to see if I can get a higher GPU overclock at the expense of a lower memory overclock. I am using an EKWB Titan XP water block and backplate ;-)
I haven't tried to clock higher. But now that the voltage is unlocked, I'll try to see if I can push the clocks more. My guess is that the card BIOS will not allow for much higher clocks.
The voltage was unlocked later on by both the MSI Afterburner and EVGA Precision X tools. Check it out for yourself. Voltage adjustment is now unlocked.
Most of the overclocking nowadays seems to only increase performance in such a way that the results can only be noticed with measurements, as opposed to older cards, which had perceivable gains with overclocking.
EVGA are working on a TX-P hybrid cooler, but it's a ways off. Their 1080FE hybrid fits if you're willing to chop a chunk out of the shroud for the 6 pin pci-e connector and a little bit of the heat spreader to fit over the extra chokes on the TX-P. Beyond that, Arctic's hybrid fits (ugly as sin though), and so does NZXT's Kraken G10, if you can handle their crappy vrm cooling for alternate hybrid options. If you own an EKWB Predator AIO (the one with the QDC), EK will also sell a pre-filled TX-P block that'll connect to it.
Yes...That's what I did, which can be seen in my post here: hardforum.com/posts/1042460620/ (if someone didn't catch the the link in my previous comments)
Theroguelawl Hakeem Hakim It was actually not difficult at all. I put painters tape on the areas the needed to be cut on the hybrid base plate. I also covered the fan with tape as well to keep out as much metal shavings as possible. I then took measurements from the stock base plate and then marked those areas on the tape. I used my dremel with a metal cutting disc to make the cuts. Making the space for the extra power connector was pretty easy due to the more open area to work with. The area for the extra mosfet was a little bit trickier due to the more confined area to cut relative to the small amount of material needed to be removed and the size of the cutting disc. You can see that area here: hardforum.com/threads/nvidia-announces-the-new-titan-x.1905829/page-20#post-1042462625 I used a aluminum grinding stone (also in my dremel accessory kit) to fine tune the shape and smooth out the cut area for both cuts. I then used my handheld electric blower and rubbing alcohol .to clean away all the metal shavings. I then sprayed the exposed cut/shaved aluminum with black plastidip. I reused all the thermal pads from the oem cooler. I then reassembled according to instructions in the hybrid kit (which basically screws back together like oem). You can reuse all the original screws, but the kit also includes ALL the same screws for reassembly. Unfortunately, I didn't take many pics (other than what I have posted) during the process...I should've done a video...LOL
Man, you are better than I am...I bet this is all EVGA will do when they come out with a kit specifically for the Titan. I just bought the 1080 kit, but I am a novice when it comes to modifications such as what you did.
That's the problem with reference designs these days, the routine of making it a blower design is something that needs to be left in the past. Nvidia have been banging on about this (as they say) "premium thermal" that's on the 1080 and the titan, but realistically it looks good but it can't cope with cooling the gpu properly. Its getting to be an Apple mentality where looks overrides usage, or to put it bluntly "all show no go". They would be far better off designing a cooler with multiple fans instead of religiously using this blower cooler that at this point does nothing but hold back performance. There's really nowhere else to go on this design, they could possibly increase the density of the fins on the vapour chamber as to me they look pretty sparse compared to the surface area they have to work with, they could probably double the amount they have by making them a bit thinner. But even then its not likely to make all that much difference. They need to look at different designs instead of recycling essentially the same thing time and time again. Amd have no fear of putting liquid coolers on the gpu's, 295x2, fury x (assuming you got one with no whine) and fury duo all seem to do fine with it. It's about time nvidia put function ahead of form and done something different.
+Tijmen J Literally any other design on cooler would have been better than a blower. Old AMD GPUs have a higher TDP and most don't get up to 85 degrees celcius
Disobeyedtoast They have the fans running higher to compensate, they are noisy.. The whole reason why nvidia lets the temps go to 84 is because they want to keep noise to a minimum. If you would ramp up the fan speed the temps will go down and the clocks will be more stable. But that means more noise. Also a blower style cooler is best for many cases, because they don't accumulate hot air inside the case. And before you might say, well, then get better air flow. Most people don't have good airflow. This is the best ensured consistent quality for a normal use GPU, with a certain kind of consistency and compactness for most. Especially for Titans, where the market is not necessarily just for gaming. But, I agree to some level, maybe they could let 3rd parties design custom coolers for them, but then again, the only ones complaining about this are the ones that don't spend the money on them. And you can easily buy your own EVGA hybrid cooler so you can mod it yourself if you have the card. Or use a waterblock. Also, you can probably use an arctic cooling cooler or a different aio cooler on the card. There are still options.
***** Most gamers who buy titans get waterblocks. But if you can afford a 1200 dollar gpu then why can't you afford a case with good air flow? I prefer open cases with cpu and gpu water blocks, and using push pull on a 480 rad so the fans can have super low rpm. You literally cant hear nothing. Pretty dead silent.
why do the reference designs still have blower style coolers? they're almost the only ones to use them and apparently you can't make a powerfull and quiet blower style cooler. Of course, they want to cut costs and for the RX 480, for example, it was obviously necessary, but for a high-end graphics card you should expect a hig-end cooler, not a low-budget one, right? Instead you get an outdated cooler design with a plastic backplate...
It really seems like you got a weird card ( or I did) I can hit and mostly sustain 1950 with a few drops to 1900 on the stock (fan spinning full speed). Room temps at around 70-75F. Stock boost it will stay above 1700mhz. Perhaps I should try other benchmarks. With the memory on mine I get graphical errors over 450 mhz overclock. I leave it at 400+mhz
Looks kinda clunky, but what more can you expect from a DIY hybrid. Great results, though. Good to know my Titan could hold over 2GHz under water with an EK waterblock. This looks a great deal cheaper, though. Like $300 cheaper. Hmmm...
So is Nvidia pricing this card at $1200 because of the lower yields/higher costs of the GP102 and GDDR5X and skimping on proper cooling because of that or simply wanting to milk more money from selling the card by saving on the cooler? It's kind of sad that a card as good as this is crippled out of the box.
It has no competition, so they increased the price, think of it for a sec, if they know they sell everything they make with limited supply why not go for 1200$ instead of 999$, its additional 200$ of profit on each gpu. The most interesting info about pascal titan x is it launched so quickly after gtx 1080, which means nvidia fellt that in few more months this card wont be such a good deal for consumers, maybe coz of amd's vega, maybe nvidia plans to launch 1080ti or drop bombs with their volta gpus in early 2017, the thing is, with such an early launch of pascal titan, we can assume stronger or similary strong but cheaper cards are on the horizon in next 6 months.
You think that's bad, NVidia have set the price in the UK at £1,200. That equates to USD$1,564. At that price, I think they just lost my interest in a Titan X. I'll go down the 1080 SLi route instead.
foreign's gaming tech Very true with local retailers, just pascal titan x is an exception since its only is avaiable from nvidia store, u cant find it in ur local computer store at all.
I recently did this to my 1080ti I picked up. My question is, if I turn the pump to let the tubes face the back of my case, will I be able to 1. install the 1080ti panel back onto the card? and 2. will it have enough room to mount onto the rear exhaust location?
Would it help to remove the transparent plastic piece on top of the heatsink on the TitanX? This way the heat would no be directed outside but rather a little bit everywhere and maybe the heatsink could be cooled with additional fans? Bad idea?
Hey there, followed this video for my Titan, works well and glad I was able to keep the stock shroud 'cause i much prefer the look of it to the hybrid. Just a quick question, I know you mentioned in one of the previous logs that the GDDR5X chips run on lower voltage than regular GDDR5 and won't get so hot, but since the stock heatsink is now out, the only thing sinking heat from the VRAM is the baseplate. Is it ok to leave it like that for an extended period of time? I did buy some copper heatsinks for memory chips and attached them to the baseplate with thermal tape around the cooler, just to be sure. I mainly use the card for number crunching/protein folding calculations and some gaming on the side, so it's running full speed quite a lot. Thanks in advance!
What percentage of Titans end up in farms and server systems? I'm wondering if that is the reason for the blower style. Is there any reason why a blower fan wouldnt work with a copper heatpipe cooler?
So, how I understood, its hybrid solution doesn't really make sence, if you want to overclock, because the fps stays pretty the same, and the reason is the max voltage of the card is not high enough? of caurse the common temperature goes down and by overclocking as well, what is good for a lifetime of the card after overclocking? please correct me, if i am wrong. it's because english is not my main language, but i am trying to learn it, and i love hardware :)
what other coolers are good to use with the pascal cards? not like the nzxt kraken, but to mod the reference cooler like you did with the 1060. I know evga do one, but here in the UK that aio is 4x the price of ones like the corsair h55
If I'm not mistaking there is an additional empty 6-Pin slot. Can you send the card to AHOC so he can mod it and hardcore OC it on water with your Hybrid mod then LN2? :>
Is the memory overclocking limited by power, or could it have something to do with some kind of built-in error correction? What do you get if you keep the core clock way down (limiting core power demand), but overclock the memory? Does the max memory overclock increase significantly if you artificially limit the core power demand?
Honestly, GDDR5X is so fast at stock, that you really dont see a hell of a whole lot if any benefit by overclocking it anyway so I wouldnt really worry about it.. if you can get 400Mhz on your memory thats great. translates to almost 1Ghz overclock effective. Nothing to sneeze at.
Yeah, I was thinking of not overclocking the GDDR5X what so ever because of power draw, I would only overclock the core if I'm not hitting 60fps in a certain game at 4K because as you saw. The TITAN could go higher, but it just choked on power so I'm gonna stay away from the memory.
would it be possible to then load a custom bios on that thing and unlock the power limit to even higher...150% for example and make that bad bitch run even hotter and even faster man?! Would the stock VRM of the stock reference board be the next limitation in your opinion?
like you would crack open a titan x pascal and mod it for a few frames per second more - even if it halves temps - (unless of course you wake up one morning and think I know, I will mod my titan x pascal for a few frames more)
When they get some money for r&d :p. Up until polaris last quarter, they hadnt make a single profit in 5 years and accumulated huge debts ($2+ billion). Polaris and vega wont touch the titan xp, but will probably do what the fury did last year, near matching the 1080. This gen is more of a money making gen for amd, hence the priority on the lower end market since thats where they can beat nvidia
Is it just me or does it seem like there is little performance gain when overclocking any pascal gpu? With maxwell 200 MHz was a big deal, but here you gain very little with 400
+TheBlackAndFurious 5 yeah , my 1070 superclocked from evga was running at about 1950 last night playing GTA 5 at 1440p temps were from 72-75 degrees (room was 80 degrees)
The blower style coolers are crap and hold back the potential of the GPU. Nvidia maybe figures the people buying these cards would put water blocks on them eventually. LOL
I like the sponsor spot at the beginning. Not to invasive, not a full video about it (looking at you TechSource) and it blends perfectly.
fantastic video mate, you cover so much in depth on gpus, love the hybrid series you been doing
Finally ran the hoses in the right direction. Good vid.
Well, it actually fit in this one. We would have had to make cuts in the others, which we weren't going to do since reassembly was imminent.
Nothing wrong with being in NFS Underground 2, it was badass :D
agreed! I said that because I loved Need for Speed Underground 2 :-)
I recently did a playthrough of it with a widescreen 1080p mod and a texture mod, now I'm doing the same with Most Wanted and oh my god the nostalgia... We don't make games like we used to, raging at how hard the AI was half the fun ;)
It'll never be the same as when I played it on the PS2 though
one of the best old school games ever!!!! i love this game and still own it lol
You need to try Porsche Unleashed.

I haven't tried to clock higher. But now that the voltage is unlocked, I'll try to see if I can push the clocks more. My guess is that the card BIOS will not allow for much higher clocks.
Dan K WOW how did you unlock the Voltage?
The voltage was unlocked later on by both the MSI Afterburner and EVGA Precision X tools. Check it out for yourself. Voltage adjustment is now unlocked.
TITAN XP is beastly!
Thanks for this! Confirmed to me I can reuse my AIO coolers on my Maxwell Titan X cards for my new 1080 Ti.
Most of the overclocking nowadays seems to only increase performance in such a way that the results can only be noticed with measurements, as opposed to older cards, which had perceivable gains with overclocking.
it's crazy how GPU boost 3.0 will OC itself when cooler.
my 1080 clocks to 2,025mhz if it runs below 35C
EVGA are working on a TX-P hybrid cooler, but it's a ways off. Their 1080FE hybrid fits if you're willing to chop a chunk out of the shroud for the 6 pin pci-e connector and a little bit of the heat spreader to fit over the extra chokes on the TX-P.

Very nice, was it tough work? Or doable by someone as god awfully clumsy as me?
+Damon Osborne...this is fricken nice bruh!!! do you have more photos on how you did this...my Titan is on the way and I would like to do this...

With these projects you should do a slush box and see what you get!

12 hundred macaronis for a shitty blower? Well done Nvidia. Your greed is starting to get really questionable.
why is it a shitty blower? the card just has a high tdp. there's only so much you can put inside a closed two slot cooler.
Because you can only get titans from NV themselves, if they would let other companies put their after market coolers you would see better temps.
+Tijmen J Literally any other design on cooler would have been better than a blower. Old AMD GPUs have a higher TDP and most don't get up to 85 degrees celcius

Thank You Sam.
that nfs u2 reference put a smile on my face

yesss nfsu2! I loved that game, brought me back hearing that
And I'm here with dual titan xp's at 2Ghz with the stock cooler on both. Am I the only one that changes the fan curve?
kevinbs05 nope I do it too
you should really have more subs lol this is cool stuff
Nvidia and AMD should hire you so you in charge of the GPU development team lol
Performance testing =/= GPU development
It really seems like you got a weird card ( or I did) I can hit and mostly sustain 1950 with a few drops to 1900 on the stock (fan spinning full speed). Room temps at around 70-75F. Stock boost it will stay above 1700mhz. Perhaps I should try other benchmarks.

I'm not sure that Nvidia sets the prices. It's usually the locals gouging it up+VAT and other stuff.
foreign's gaming tech
Very true with local retailers, just pascal titan x is an exception since its only is avaiable from nvidia store, u cant find it in ur local computer store at all.
to all those who didn't know the pascal cards have this "throttling" not only in thermals
gamers nexus v ltt in the next scrapyard wars!!!! please....!
We'd be down. Let them know!
I wonder how much it helps my stability with a full cover block that covers VRM aswell Like many people have done
I recently did this to my 1080ti I picked up. My question is, if I turn the pump to let the tubes face the back of my case, will I be able to 1. install the 1080ti panel back onto the card? and 2. will it have enough room to mount onto the rear exhaust location?
Would it help to remove the transparent plastic piece on top of the heatsink on the TitanX? This way the heat would no be directed outside but rather a little bit everywhere and maybe the heatsink could be cooled with additional fans? Bad idea?

I did buy some copper heatsinks for memory chips and attached them to the baseplate with thermal tape around the cooler, just to be sure. I mainly use the card for number crunching/protein folding calculations and some gaming on the side, so it's running full speed quite a lot.
Thanks in advance!
someone needs to answer you. I have that same question as well.
Thanks for the video :D
You can clearly see the sadness at Steve`s face at 1:06
thx sam
3:26 subtle b-roll almost look like two cards. nice.
What percentage of Titans end up in farms and server systems? I'm wondering if that is the reason for the blower style. Is there any reason why a blower fan wouldnt work with a copper heatpipe cooler?
my Titan XP will boost to 1830mhz or so but i play in an air conditioned room. Every check asic qualitywith gpu-z? mines like 60.3% asic quality.
awesome project ! :)
EKWB now sells full cover water blocks for this card... So that's another solution.
So, how I understood, its hybrid solution doesn't really make sence, if you want to overclock, because the fps stays pretty the same, and the reason is the max voltage of the card is not high enough? of caurse the common temperature goes down and by overclocking as well, what is good for a lifetime of the card after overclocking?
please correct me, if i am wrong. it's because english is not my main language, but i am trying to learn it, and i love hardware :)
Sam, youre one lucky guy ;D So everybody, say - THANKS SAM! ^-^
what other coolers are good to use with the pascal cards? not like the nzxt kraken, but to mod the reference cooler like you did with the 1060. I know evga do one, but here in the UK that aio is 4x the price of ones like the corsair h55
Did you keep it that way for Sam as a thank you?
Would a full cover water-block perform similarly?
On the GPU temp graph you titled it just "Hybrid" not "GN Hybrid".
If I'm not mistaking there is an additional empty 6-Pin slot. Can you send the card to AHOC so he can mod it and hardcore OC it on water with your Hybrid mod then LN2? :>
he cant because this card doesent belong to him but to one viewer that lended this card to him
Card is going back to Sam soon!

curious to know if you could modify one of the aftermarket air coolers for a 1080 to fit on there.
gamers nexus could you do a tutorial on how to install evgas hybrid coolers onto a 1070 or 1080?
Already did, check history
no he didn't , check history
he basically does it very time he makes his own water cooled card
+konic40 that makes sense I guess I'd like to see him break down cards that are not reference evga makes hybrid cooler for the superclocked 1070.
you guys will not test it without power limit?
would it be possible to then load a custom bios on that thing and unlock the power limit to even higher...150% for example and make that bad bitch run even hotter and even faster man?! Would the stock VRM of the stock reference board be the next limitation in your opinion?
i wanted to know why gamernexus did not add the top case for the card is it because it did not fit ...
Anyone know how I can source one of these coolers in Australia? Amazon has them for $160 and that's a little too rich for me!
my dream is two 8pin connectors on the titan xp + water cooling , 2.1ghz confirmed ?
like you would crack open a titan x pascal and mod it for a few frames per second more - even if it halves temps - (unless of course you wake up one morning and think I know, I will mod my titan x pascal for a few frames more)
why all nvidia cards are always out of stock

Tuchulu you TRIGGERED buddy?
AMaD can't make anything to compete.
right now all new nvidia cards grilling pretty well, no need for heater this winter :D
And people make fun of AMD's temperatures lol
when will amd release gpu that is as fast as titan xp?
Maybe Vega?
When they get some money for r&d :p. Up until polaris last quarter, they hadnt make a single profit in 5 years and accumulated huge debts ($2+ billion). Polaris and vega wont touch the titan xp, but will probably do what the fury did last year, near matching the 1080. This gen is more of a money making gen for amd, hence the priority on the lower end market since thats where they can beat nvidia
+Ariel Espinosa
rx 480 250 $
Titan Xp 1200$
That comparison is yust ridiculus 🙈
+Ariel Espinosa yeah and nvidea uses a cheap cooler on a 1200 $ video card ^^ But i understand your point - let's yust wait till vega and see :)
Put this puppy in a custom liquid cooled loop and I'm sure it'll blow away most everything if you're willing to push more power int it.
Is it just me or does it seem like there is little performance gain when overclocking any pascal gpu? With maxwell 200 MHz was a big deal, but here you gain very little with 400
Thats because pascal automatically overclocks itself up to 2ghz if temps are ok
+TheBlackAndFurious 5 yeah , my 1070 superclocked from evga was running at about 1950 last night playing GTA 5 at 1440p temps were from 72-75 degrees (room was 80 degrees)
yes I know. but pascal at 1500 vs 200 isn that much of a difference. maxell 1200 vs 1400 was a big difference. maxwell overcklocks itself aswell
+sur puppa Maxwell was a much better overclocker than Pascal is. My 980Ti at @1500mhz beats any 1070 and is just 10% slower than a custom 1080
That is because the card overclocks itself as much as as possible.
can i buy this water cooler somewhere? would like to do 1080 hybrid thing
EVGA.
TonyC I only want the watercooler I already have gtx 1080 fe
EVGA also sell the hybrid kit.
TonyC :o thx
TonyC can you give me a link or something cuz I cant find it :s
Did you say Titan XP?
Yeah they really should have packed that with an AIO cooler.
AIO water cooler**
Will there be a 1070 hybrid? :D
at this point just buy the 1080 ...
Yes. The MSI 1070 Seahawk X. It's out for some time already.
why sell a $1200 gpu with a shit cooler? makes no sense
volta 80 performance
It's just pathetic that they ask 1300 for a gpu without a adequate cooler
tbh, titan xp looks like a 900 dollar car max
can't you just put the fan at 100%?
Benito Wymeersch would be unstable. water cooler keeps it cooler under load. he also gets a better over clocking performance using an aio
Green pls stahp with your monsters
Red is nowhere insight anymore already
Evil Nvidia didnt give you test model for ghetto watercooling?
the new nvidia cards, the reference coolers are terrible, and it sucks the most for titan as they will only be reference
Its more efficient using a AMD cooler!
I wish I had that gpu haha
Run anything at 40 degrees
want
These crap default coolers are obivously designed to be replaced by partner coolers.
+zorbas091 ref. coolers are for small cases.
The blower style coolers are crap and hold back the potential of the GPU. Nvidia maybe figures the people buying these cards would put water blocks on them eventually. LOL
1200 bucks and overheats LOL gg
underground 2 ftw
and someday I hope blower fans go extinct from desktop pcs
First like 😀
I like the sponsor spot at the beginning. Not to invasive, not a full video about it (looking at you TechSource) and it blends perfectly.
Thanks Sam!
