I'm thinking of getting the new titan for a GPU and I know it's very hot and I'd like to water cool it but I don't know any kits or really much at all.
please help a newbie at water cooling
 
Solution
All in one GPU coolers are quite straight forward. You install the card as normal and then mount the radiator to the chassis at a fan mount. (not necessarily in that order)

Custom cooling means: Radiator(s), Reservoir, Pump, Tubing/Hosing, Fittings, Drain and Fill ports, GPU block, CPU block, and additional fans. Even a starting CPU kit is going to set you back $200 or more. Each GPU block is nearly $100. And additional radiators have their own prices.

There are some semi-custom options. EK has a new line of quick connect water cooling systems:

EK doesn't actually...


my bad I was in a rush.
Rosewill BlackHawk-Ultra,

SAMSUNG 850 PRO 2.5" 1TB SATA III
, EVGA SuperNOVA 750 G2 220-G2-0750-XR 80+ GOLD 750W
, GIGABYTE G1 Gaming GA-Z170X-Gaming 7 (rev. 1.0)
, Intel Core i7-6700K 8M Skylake Quad-Core 4.0 GHz
, CORSAIR Vengeance LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 2666
,
 
EK Predator wouldn't be a bad choice. Not sure I see enough info about the Rosewill Blackhawk to say what radiators will fit.

I know their 360mm x 65mm (If I recall) can handle about 700W. Comes with a pump and reservoir, just add fittings and a GPU block.
 


I'm far too new with water cooling to try that
 


Oh okay what kind of fitters should I get? and the block what kind should I get?

EK doesn't actually have that many choices for the Titan X. Just variants of acetal, copper, and nickel plated models of the same full cover cooler. They also have their universal blocks, but they are less desirable as they don't cool everything.

I am a fan of Swiftech products. They make a pre-filled CPU cooler that you can expand to accommodate a full custom loop. I have the older model, the new one looks like it comes pre assembled with G3/4 fittings, which is nice.

And I do like a good XSPC Razor full cover block, but that is mostly personal preference. Very rare to see a round up of water blocks since it is so time and resource consuming to install them.

I think my first water cooling build to add a CPU and two GPUs took something like 8 hours to assemble, fill/prime/test, and finally get running, then another refill after the bubbles had settled out.

I didn't even know they had that kind of cooling sweet for a newbie like me. the XSPC looks nice! and I would like but I don't know if they have one for a titan x
 
Not 100% sure, they just released the 1080 version, have it sitting in a box waiting to be installed. They do respond to e-mails pretty quickly though so if they have the Titan X P in the works or if it would fit one of their other coolers.

I have two 980 Razors as well, and I looked pretty closely. I think they would bolt right up except for one screw to the 1080. And those ones were designed also for the previous generation Titan X.
 


I think for now I'm just going to do a EK cooling for the titan xp and while i'm at it might get a CPU cooling as well. I like the ones I saw in the links
