"Not sure what's going on with EVGA production but if I waited for the 980 HC version I'd still be waiting after months it seems.  Not going to hold my breath for Titan X HC either, I've learned my lesson.  I'm seeing posts that non liquid cooled Titan X just can't survive the throttling monster with air cooling especially in SLI.  The only option at the moment is Titan X SC + EK waterblock for me and I don't feel like doing that this time around."




 
I was planning on SLI with mine on air, but I have 2 slot spacing. I would think that's plenty of space to cool the cards with a Corsair 900d and all the air flow. Is this not sufficient? The posts you mention about non liquid cooled cards are with 2 way SLI or 3 with no spacing or what? Thanks.

Just got eVGA titan x sc today.
Scared to instal this beast into my system that has his sister running. (Original Titan)

Here is one discussion at amazon.

Thanks. Wonder if my 900d would make a difference??

Any idea when Amazon will get more titan x in stock?

4K popularity has skyrocketed recently which is pushing the demand for the Titan X quite a bit, I suspect.

I may have to throw in the towel and prefer mine from Nvidia. Anyone familiar with their warranty and customer service? What's it like? I see myself selling this card in maybe 7 months. So resell value will still be good at least.

Agreed with AnonymousGuy, you buy a Titan X so in 12 months you can buy another and SLI it (if needed).

I have this exact setup and the temps are fine. Per usual the top card runs hotter than the lower card. 

OCD fail. I couldn't wait any longer, just pulled the direct from nv trigger.

Yea, that's what I was thinking. The Amazon review had something about the cards idling at 50C which I don't understand. Maybe it's something unique to that machine. I have reviewed a few sites today on SLI for Titan X and none mention temps that high. ??

Mine are idling right now at 40C on GPU1 and 34C on GPU2 probably GPU1 had more thermal paste slopped on it than GPU2. 
 
I badly need to get these cards waterblocked.  I can't OC and play BF4 without a crash after 20 minutes because the cards get too hot and the default fan profile doesn't ramp aggressively enough.  Just waiting on some double sided thermal tape to get here on Friday and I can finally finish up rev.9 of my WC setup.

How good is the air flow in your case? What case do you have? Thanks.

I'm wondering this as well! I ordered my EVGA Titan X from Amazon over a week ago and I still haven't got any updates on when it will be available to ship.

Has anyone else ordered this card from Amazon?

I'm using the 800d case, i have a intake bay with a 80mm fan at the front and then a 140mm angled down towards the Titan X and my temps so far are idle 25, so far top 68 degrees with a custom fan profile. My fan speed has not gone past 71%.
 

I pre-ordered 2 sc's from Amazon a few days ago, so I'll just wait out the month or so it might take to fulfill the order.   I also read that guys review about high heat (idle/load) and thought something was amiss with his thermal solution.
 
 My 2 980's idle under 30c and sometimes in the low 20's, without the fans on.  Using a Lian Li D600 case for that one in the basement.  I have another system in my 2nd floor bedroom (single 980 sc) that can get a little warmer ambient temps.  That one never reaches 30c when idling.  Environment matters when it comes to keeping things cool.

That things is going to be 2" thick, lol. There will be no 3 or 4 way configuration with that on. Are you going for it?

I'm pretty sure with waterblocks effectively making the card 1-slot thick, that would give enough clearance to stack these things on top of each other for 3 or 4 way SLI.  The backplate waterblock is only 1/2" thick which I think is about the thickness of an expansion slot.
 
It's nowhere near as bad as the arctic accelero monstrosity that took up 5 slots :)
