EK Predator can't cool CPU and 2 Titan GPU.
 
The AIO mod (and future EVGA kit) is temporary until I bite the bullet and build a custom loop.

Yes it can with a 140mm add on rad. Why are you wasting so much money on these kits? You could be putting the money into your custom loop.

Last I checked (about 3 weeks ago), you couldn't add on a rad without draining and refilling the loop (i.e. the "quick disconnects only went to the GPUs)...hence defeating the purpose of an AIO.  Has something changed?
 
And it's not really wasting money...I have an AIO for my CPU and both my GPUs...fits great in the front of my Corsair 740 Air case!

Yes they added this one: EK-XLC Predator 140 (incl. QDC). My one Titan is looking lonely but man it's fast!
Don't do it sli aint worth it.
 

I had two GTX 980 KingPins in sli before the Titan X Pascal. I never had any issues with my setup. If a game was not compatible I would just turn off sli.
The sli is fun to bench mark!

I don't know about a €1250 card being fun to bench.You must have some jobSli in bf1 and gears persuaded me to give up the dream.Also micro stutter fo4Bye bye SLI.

Please post some pic's when installed. Thanks
 

 
 
Vey happy big improvement:)

Dude that looks awesome great job on the case mod.  I am really happy with Predator 360 and full cover waterblock

Thanks again for the tip dude

Hi all! Any update Jacob? I know you love hearing this. Let's keep the thread/dream alive guys! I'm guessing that EVGA will wait for the 1080ti release, since it's supposed to be on the GP102. Would make sense to me.
 
Can anyone suggest a good guide on graphics cooling? I'd like to learn about the VRM, ram, gpu, etc. and about their requirements as far as cooling go.  
 
Also:
When you add a liquid cooler (like a hybrid kit) and remove the heat sink in the card, does cooling for the other components suffer?? (since the cooling for those depends on conduction from the component, through a pad, through the plate, through the heat sink) I guess this detail is where a custom waterblock really shines...? If I utilized a 1080 kit, how could I ensure cooling of these components...? 

When you use the 1080 kit, you do the following at minimum:
 
1. Remove the heat sink on the GPU
2. Replace the heat sink on the GPU with the AIO cooling block (it comes with a splitter cable to power the card fan and the pump)
3. Leave everything else (the original fan, PCB heat spreader, and backplate)
 
Other folks have modded the 1080 PCB heat spreader to fit onto the Titan X P card.  The up side is that you can mount the 1080 hybrid shroud on the card (looks nicer).  The down side (at least for me) was having to mod the heat spreader and risk having something short out or not cool properly...i.e. the Titan X P heat spreader was designed to cool this card.
 
Keeping the Titan X P PCB heat spreader makes the card look kind of ghetto-mod-ish, but it functions very well.  Both of my Titan X P cards see about 45 C during heavy use (gaming, folding @ home, etc.)  (I'm getting a thermal camera for Christmas...and will take VRM/memory temperature pictures!!!)
 
You run the card fan at around 40% or so.  This pulls air into the card and blows it across the heat spreader to keep the VRM and memory cool.  The existing heat sink that you are removing was only connected directly to the GPU...it did not come in contact with the PCB heat spreader.
 
You have to totally disassemble the card to get at the fan connector on the PCB.  Take your time, and keep the screws grouped...will take you about an hour to mod the card.
 
Here is a quick post I did for my cards:

(I'll buy the EVGA kit when it actually comes out!)
 
 

Very educational! Thanks. I guess I did not realize that the heat sink that gets removed only touches the GPU.
 
Please post some pics from the thermal camera when you get it! That's a great tool to have for any kind of cooling work. They're not often totally accurate from my work experience, but they DEFINITELY give you a relative feel for temps in a system. Hot is hot, right? ha
