Any info on card availability?

I've been watching the stock on this for the hydrocopper versions but after seeing at least two people pop their cards I don't think I want to trade my pair of 980s with a pair of these now.  I think I'll wait for the 980 ti instead!

Could just be those two with bad luck. Seems like the majority of buyers have no such problem (judging from Overclockers and Gaf). I have one already (Vanilla, bought on Newegg, not installed yet) and just want another.

No such thing as a 980ti, Titan X is a fully enabled GM200. Anything after this is going to be cut-down, less performance, and 1/2 the vram for less $. 980ti would suggest a better card would be coming, and that isn't the case here this time around, more like a 780 if you think back 2 years ago after the original Titan released (and as you know the Titan wasn't fully enabled like the 780ti/ Titan Black). 
 
Then again 2 people out of the hundreds of cards that have been sold (check the overclock.net titan X thread) give you the jitters I wouldn't even plug things into your wall like your phone or go driving as that is something to fear.
 
Nvidia from what I recall doesn't even have an RMA policy, you just get your full money back and order another one from them. 
 
Good thing I'm going away this weekend otherwise I would probably cave and buy from Nvidia directly instead of EVGA as they have to fulfill Neweggs price gouging and Amazon/NCIX and other orders first. Maybe next Monday I will hope. 
 
This may be false, but I recall May 1st somewhere to be when the HydroCopper versions are in. Take that with a grain of salt.

Sounds good to me. No refurbished stuff FTW. 
 

Any news on when Evga might have the Titan X Superclocked in stock? I thought it was supposed to be be early this week. ....I'm waiting (Im)patiently.

Does anyone think that it's worth selling two GTX 780 Tis (say for roughly $425 each) and purchase a Titan X? I use the Acer XB280HK and I feel that the extra $200+ would be worth it in terms of future proofing (VRAM) and stability (no longer need to depend on SLI profiles). 
 
Edit: I guess maybe waiting for a GTX 980 Ti may be a better option (if I remember correctly the GTX 780 Ti was matching the Titan Black in gaming performance). Ideally I would purchase a second card (980 Ti or Titan X) down the road maybe in 6-9 months when the next big thing comes out. When I purchased my two 780 Tis I was using a GTX 690 and that 2GB VRAM was bottlenecking me at 1440P so I wanted the 3GB VRAM and here I am again needing more VRAM =(

I think for 4k Gaming one Titan X is not enough. I don't know how that would change if you watercooled it and overclocked. Also, the longer you wait on Titan X,  the less time you spend with it before it becomes outdated. That's just how I look at it.
 
When DX12 comes out and all the big titles have DX12 capabilities and SLI combined Vram feature is all that is hyped up to be and the good display port 1.3 monitors are out, that's when the Titan X in SLI is not the only option for 4K anymore. It seems like a long way ahead to me.

For most games the one will be enough for 4K (I have the Acer 4K g-Sync too). The G-Sync makes a huge difference. On most all titles you should be able to get 30 to 50 fps with near max settings. I did opt to get 2 and for me it's worth it. But just one does a very good job. Especially with Win 10 on the horizon as it and DX12 are much more effecient. My 3DMark score on FireStrike 4K with one Titan (sli doesn't work yet in Win 10) is about 4800 with only the Acer monitor attached. And about 45oo on Win 8.1.
Even on Assasins Creed at ultra I still got 40 fps with one Titan X. This is the most vram intensive game I've played so far, it topped 8 gigs!
Check the 3D Mark site and look at the scores people are getting. Titan X is taking over the leaderboards for 2K and 4K. And expect an easy boost of 200 MHz on the gpu core and 400 MHz on the memory core. Both of mine maintain that all day long.

I was in your exact shoes. When Evolve came out, I simply couldn't play it in 4K with 780 Ti's... great FPS, but horrible stuttering due to VRAM. Even 1440p was fairly unplayable.
 
One TITAN X IS ENOUGH FOR TODAY'S GAMES IN 4K, especially with G-Sync. Some VERY demanding games, like Watch_Dogs, may dip below 50 FPS, but that is where G-Sync in your monitor will shine my friend. Some of these review benchmarks I don't understand, like Metro Last Light. How the heck are they only getting 30 FPS? I get WELL over that... are they being idiots and cranking 4X SSAA in 4K?! No wonder they'd get that low of FPS...
 
I have two now, and it is glorious (although I need to acquire another 4K monitor, but 4K DSR is great too). Even 6 GB of VRAM may not be enough for "future proofing" as games are going over that now in 4K. I know they may be using more resources than necessary, but I am tired of getting bit in the butt because of low VRAM!

Well yes enough is enough. I am just so obsessed with maxing everything out (minus AA when in 4K) that I say not enough. I kind of lose perspective sometimes.

Could someone give me an idea of temps with the fan speed set around 40-45%? If I can keep it around 75-78c during stressful scenarios, I would be happy.

I think fan on NVIDIA reference cards should work about 70% in games.
For little overclocked cards and faster fan is not unusual.
Situation is similar with all high end generation reference cards except some extremes as GTX480, HD6970, etc...
Fan on NVIDIA TITAN X for me is not loud and on 80-85% in games if need to keep temps above 80C until water block replace cooler.
I say only what I saw and hear over video clips and I really pay attention and it's similar to all previous NVIDIA coolers, it's not louder.
In first moment I thought it's louder but soon I saw it's same as before, several years NVIDIA keep nice and silent cooler and customer listen only air, nothing else.

For those curious (and no offense to anyone on staff), but Newegg has some ASUS cards available right now!

Is this EVGA 980 hydro cooler compatible? 

400-HY-H980-B1

 
Looks really cool and would work great on my new Titan X that does get a bit loud when gaming...

In case anyone was wondering about power consumption, running P95 and Furmark I hit 1200W of power being drawn from the wall...so a 1250W PSU would be required for a 5960X - Titan X SLI configuration.  I guess I'll probably hit 1500W when I start cranking the voltage up on these cards.

Can anyone from EVGA give us a ball-park on when more Titan X cards will be back in stock?

They are in stock now... https://store.nvidia.com/...mp;id=QuickBuyCartPage

Why would you wait and buy from evga? I bought mine from nvidia....  went perfectly. I have bought stuff from nvidia before (nvidia shield tablet) and had equally no issues.
