The GeForce GTX Titan X is 10.5 Inches in length which is roughly 27 cm so it should fit comfortably in pretty much any decent chassis. When we open it up, on the inside we spot Titan’s copper vapor chamber, which is able to draw more heat off the GPU and components on the PCB including memory and VRM, ultimately allowing the GPU to run cooler and thus boost to higher clock speeds.

A copper vapor chamber is used to cool the GPU. This vapor chamber is combined with a large, dual-slot aluminum heatsink to dissipate heat off the chip. A blower style fan then exhausts this hot air through the back of the graphics card and is exhausted at the exit to the left.

A 6-phase power supply is responsible for supplying the Titan X (GM200) GPU with power. An additional 2-phase power supply is dedicated to the board’s GDDR5 memory. As you can see, the bottom of the cooler functions as a front-side plate drawing heat from essential components.

This 6+2 phase design supplies Titan X with the power it needs. Tweaked, we’ve seen Titan X boards with reference cooling hit speeds of 1.35 GHz in our own testing. BTW you will have some extra power allowance, the reference board design supplies the GPU with 275 Watts of power at the maximum power target setting of 110%. The board uses polarized capacitors (POSCAPS) to minimize unwanted board noise, as well as molded inductors.
