Thanks. I just don't want a stock cooler with the stock card. I don't really have strong feelings about the PCB being custom but I do have strong feelings about it being VERY quiet and well cooled without the hassle of a custom liquid cooling solution that I have to implement with pump, radiator, fans, tubing, regulator etc. I'd want to keep it down to 2 slots per card as I use other slots on my motherboard.

Don't overlook the gigabyte wind force cooler. It is also a two slot design and traditionally gigabyte is good about having high end skus priced aggressively while asus directcu2 cards tends to carry a decent price premium. I imagine both will be available for the 780.

Thanks - I'll consider the Windforce but hope the DirectCU will be available as it is even quieter. Who knows, maybe the EVGA ACX will be as good.

Wow - why would you take the time to belittle me when you have no information? You could have just skipped this thread.

Would you not consider this EVGA liquid cooled card a custom titan?

But feel free to go to the post where my specific question about an ASUS DIRECTCU titan or Asus DIRECTCU 780 GTX is definitively answered.

Thanks I did get some valuable help from this and other forums. It took a while to get up to speed but it was interesting learning.

OK the DirectCU will be presented at the Taipei show in about a week. In the mean time there are some overclocked ones such as the Windforce and EVGA that have performance above the stock 780 but at about the same price, lower temp and about the same sound level.

Good job owning that guy lol. But damn I wonder if they gonna have those iChill for GTX 780! Are they just limited quantity? I really want them, it will look sick along with my H100.
