Is the 780 the same size as the titan only the internals have changed ?
780 and titan Sizes, they the same ?

Thanks for the info peeps, So I'm guessing the same rings true for the cooler, Only difference is the Titan/780 branding ?

More than likely.

Yeah it's an identical cooler, apart from the branding. PCB's are so close to the same I've fitted a titan waterblock no problem.

Any chance you could take some pictures of the cooler itself, off the pcb? Especially the back of the fan gubbins. I want to know how much modifying I'd need to do to fit a universal waterblock and put the fan shroud back on it, like I did with my 670's

I'll dig them out the loft tomorrow and take some pics.

Cheers mate, much appreciated. From the few pics I've seen and the Titan stripdown that Tom did (similar cooler I'm led to believe) the modification won't be as simple.
lit logo would be in the way for hoses.
do it right or dont bother at all IMHO.

Here are the pictures of the back of the cooler.
Here's a of shot of the 780's installed in M8 with titan waterblocks, I know I should have taken some shots as I was installing them, but I got too excited to get them in and running.

As far as I know its just a green piece of transparent plastic glued on, You would just need to find the same thickness in the colour of your choice.

Thank you very much indeed, if I figure this out I'll take photos and post them for future reference.

Cheers for the images NoPrisoners!
Looking at it I don't think it's easy, and just like my 670's, irreversible.
I would leave on the black metal heatsink plate that makes contact with the memory chips and stuff, but drawing a few crude lines shows me what would have to go.
Also, having a look at the Titan stripdown video Tom did, there is an important part that would have to be removed.
Imagine this in place (this is one of my 670's before refitting the shroud). You'll see what I mean if you image that block on the Titan/780.
Half of the light up moniker would have go, which would look crap. As it's part of the fan surround it wouldn't be practical to fabricate something to replace it, and look good.
I think I've talked my way out of it
. Unless some kind soul at Nvidia wants to sell me 2 spare covers for 780's? Then I'd do nuts and do it for sure! I'd be creative about what I placed in the window...
