Ever find this?

I browsed through the site VC reviews but i didnt find the number, the higher temps on a thermal imaging are for a GTX 690 and it s possible that theses are this card VRMs since the surface thermal imaging goes up to 111.9°C, i ll ask the reviewer personaly though.

Edit : back on topic, the same reviewer said the Titan Z thermal headroom was limited to 375-400W by Nvidia with a 83°C max GPU temp.

I (and I know I'm probably alone here) am glad the TDP is only 375W, within PCI-SIG spec for the 2x 8-pin on the card. They should include a switch that allows higher TDP though.

This Kepler rehash game is getting old and disappointing. Can we please move on to Maxwell?

I recently discovered that the presence of a second 8-pin connection alone actually breaks PCI spec. Not that it really matters, as the only thing it changes is the lack of a cert label on the box, but thought it was interesting. IMO, I like AMD's line of thought on it, if we're gonna break spec, we might as well do it right, lol.

Yeah, I'm surprised PCI-e hasn't certified specs past 1x8 1x6. We even had 3x8 cards 2 years back. :awe:

No switch needed, they just need to allow a higher TDP limit with Boost, right? Just move the slider over to the right, like Powertune.

I hope it's nothing dinky like max 107% or something stupid like that.

Just having a second 8 pin breaks the spec. But the spec is a joke, and has no bearing on what is actually a safe limit.
