Stren's Titan Water Block Roundup

[stren]

In case there is any chance to read VRM temps, I wanted to share this freeware utility HWiNFO64 that was on an ATI/AMD HD7970 readout at the bottom of this post. The readme says the utility works on a Titan but don't know if Titan tells us VRM temps like that model of HD7970. If it would easy for you, the numbers may be helpful to those who OC VGA cards. It might also help those of us scratching our head over active versus passive water-cooling of VRM. I haven't seen a roundup with VRM monitoring since Skinnee put the probes in the GTX 480. Sorry to pile on...just like Martin said would happen. So forget it if too much hassle. But I only learned today that some VGA cards have sensors for VRM temps. Thanks.

Yeah I can try this when the card comes in. As long as it logs the data then it's just one more number to process. I should really setup scripts to parse the data for me lol.

VRM temps would be nice, but only gpu temps are available, using gpuz/precision tune, even tried HWutil from musicfan, but no gpu vrm temps, just gpu.

Also many OCing titans are using custom bioses. My original bios stated (using kepler bios editor to look) that my core boost was 1202, but my core constantly varied under load and never higher than 1050 with any benchmarking program or games, even though I was on water and gpu never above 38C. All the consumer cards bioses were gimped with heavy throttling from too low power limits. Playing around, I ended up flashing mine about 17x, trying to figure out how the bios power limits were causing throttling.

The hard limit is 300W total 265W from gpu, cant go passed those without hard mods. hard limit on vcore is 1.21, cant go past that without hard mods. So card is pretty protected...even if you change bios.

My card now will do 1150 rock stable at 1.18 v (stock v is 1.16), or 1202 rock stable with 1.2v. No throttling.

Just to warn you if your card throttles, and it will unless a rarity (always check a loading program/log and look for throttling, part of my norm after any benchmark now), just trying to save you some time in case you get varying load screwing up results.

Here is rest of my post on bios:
