June 27, 201510 yr One of the biggest challenges I've had with my Ti is the temperature when its under load. It would regularly reach 83 degrees and start throttling, sometimes to under 1GHz. That issue was resolved today with the installation of the EVGA Hybrid watercooling kit. It's an AIO kit that cools the GPU with water while retaining the air cooler for the RAM and VRM: So far, my synthetic benchmarks have failed to reach greater than 48 deg C at 4k and my test games at that resolution have not raised temps above 55 deg c. This is with a 200MHz overclock on the card. It is a very impressive kit. I'll report back on its performance with P3D.

June 27, 201510 yr Very nice Chris. Can this kit be bought separately? Cheers,John TavendaleTextures by Tavers - https://www.facebook.com/texturesbytavers
June 27, 201510 yr Very nice Chris. Can this kit be bought separately? John, It can be purchased separately. See http://www.evga.com/Products/Product.aspx?pn=400-HY-0996-B1 EVGA can't seem to keep them in-stock though. I've been spamming the F5 key on their site for a little over a week before I managed to grab one. It is worth it though.

June 27, 201510 yr hi all, i ve done the same thing on my asus titanx cooler who had replaced by an evga acx 2.0 cooler without OC the temperature is 20°c less than before Frédéric Giraud
June 27, 201510 yr The nVidia reference cooler really isn't very efficient, especially when overclocking the card. Chris Magnus HR Manager Air Jamaica Virtual Airlines and Cargo (http://www.airjamaicavirtualairlinesandcargo.org)
June 27, 201510 yr One of the biggest challenges I've had Strange I have a kraken water cooler bracket and a corsair H75 cooler and never goes above 32 degrees Celsius P3D cranking - thinking more and more my gigantic phantom 820 is amazing at dispersing heat Rich Sennett
June 27, 201510 yr That issue was resolved today with the installation of the EVGA Hybrid watercooling kit. Great news, looks like that hybrid kit would be a necessity in my little carbide case with sli. Glad they are finally available! <p>Dassault Falcon, Lear, Embraer and Challenger and Cessna Mechanic.Broadcasting live from former Soviet Missile Silo.Rhys Legge
June 28, 201510 yr Strange I have a kraken water cooler bracket and a corsair H75 cooler and never goes above 32 degrees Celsius P3D cranking - thinking more and more my gigantic phantom 820 is amazing at dispersing heat Rich, The issue I had was with the reference cooler, not with the watercooler. My P3D temps are in the high 30's to low 40's when using a 4K monitor with the card OC'd 200MHz. Great news, looks like that hybrid kit would be a necessity in my little carbide case with sli. Glad they are finally available! I would recommend this to anyone with a reference cooler. There is simply no comparison. One of the best decisions I've made for my system.
