So, I'm hoping to hear from one of the tech experts from EVGA on this one, I'm interested in snatching up a Titan Z Hydro Copper to put into my Hadron Hydro build.  My build currently houses a 4770k overclocked to 4.2ghz and an R9 290X liquid cooled with an EK water block.  Temps are actually quite tolerable, especially considering that the 4770k is sitting at 4.2ghz and the R9 290X is overclocked about 15%.  CPU temps reach about 75c under max load and I've never seen the GPU core hit anything over 68c.  Also, I'm extremely impressed with this little 500w PSU in the Hadron, it has yet to run out of seam with my current configuration.
 
So, from what I can tell from the dimensions, it should fit in the case just fine, the Hydro Copper Titian Z is the same length as my liquid cooled R9 290X and takes up only 1 slot rather than 3 like the air cooled versions.  I'm just not sure if the cooling system and power supply will be enough to handle a dual GPU solution.  The R9 290X is notoriously power hungry and runs so hot that liquid is really the only viable solution unless you want you rig to sound like a hair dryer, so I'm hoping that the increased efficiency of Nvidia's chips will keep the Titan Z in line.
 
Any thoughts from the experts here at EVGA?  I'd really like to order one of these beasts as soon as possible, but I'd like to confirm whether or not this is a viable solution first.  Please, give me your thoughts.
 
 
EDIT: I'll also admit defeat as far as AMD is concerned.  The R9 290X is the first red-card I've owned since AMD bought ATI in 2006, and I'm really disappointed so far.  The card itself is extremely powerful, but their total lack of talent on their driver team makes me want to cry.  So many driver errors and optimization issues, it's not even funny.  Ya, the R9 290X can throw up benchmarks like nobody's business, but I didn't buy it to watch it run 3DMark all day.  I should have known better than to take a chance on AMD trash, now I can't wait to get back into the green-card camp.

It'll probably fit, but there's no way you're going to power a Titan Z with a 500w power supply, especially since you also have a overclocked CPU. A 750w power supply would be minimum for that kind of set-up, 850w would be better. 

The R9 290X uses lots of power, but not on the level of the Titan Z. You might be able to get away with it, but you'll be pushing the 500w psu to its very limit. If you can get a 750w 1U psu later if it doesn't work, I'd say go for it. Would be interesting to see. Does the PSU have two 8-pins or at least 1 8-pin and two 6-pins? The Titan Z requires two 8-pins, so if you only have six pin pci-e power connectors on the psu, that's four total 6-pin connectors to power it. 

The card will fit, but the power requirements are a bit too much for the Hadron PSU unfortunately.

Thank you all for your input, it's been very helpful.  The reason I asked is because on paper, the stock PSU shouldn't be able to handle it but I vaguely remember when Jacob said that the stock PSU should handle anything I throw at it.  That statement, however, was made MONTHS ago, long before the Titan-Z was out in the wild.  On the other hand, a 500w PSU from nearly any other branding would have failed miserably for my current setup as well.  This led me to believe that EVGA grossly underrated its capability, which I still believe they did to a certain extent.  Now that Jacob has confirmed that it's not up to the task, I will be actively hunting for a 750w+ 1U PSU that will get the job done.
 
I've seriously set my mind on slapping a Titian-Z HC into my little box, so I'm going to find a 1U that fits and is up to the task.  Once I find it, I'll disassemble it to paint the frame in flat black to match the chassis, then I'll sleeve the cables to make for good eye-candy.  Once I have that in place, I'll get my grubby little paws on a Titan-Z HC and get the party started.  My goal?  I want to pack all the power possible into the Hadron chassis, it's a case I've absolutely fallen in LOVE with.  I'd love to be able to say that I have, hands-down, the most powerful small-form-factor mini-ITX build in the world that current tech allows for.  Maybe a feature on EVGA's Facebook page would even be called for (wink-wink, Jacob, I'll make it happen if you make the PR side happen). 
 
All jokes aside, next new post from me will be a Hadron-Hydro build blog with Titan-Z inside!

I can believe it. But it's interesting because Cyberpower is offering two versions of EVGA's Titan Z as an option in its Hadron builds. 

They probably upgraded the PSU

Hi 
I am also looking for a 1u psu to power a titan z and I have found it very difficult to come up with the required amps, I dont know alot about psu's and I am trying to learn as much as I can but I have found this one. zippy/emacs H1M-5807V 1u psu
 
 manufacturers website states that it has 57 amps on the 12v rail. its problem is that it has only 4 x 6 pin pci-e connectors
Maybe some one can say if it is good enough with some adaptors?
Or maybe someone has a better solution to the problem?
