Hello, as stated in the title this is a theoretical question only, i do not plan on purchasing this. I was just wandering if one were to put a full coverage water block would the titan z be able to reach 1250Mhz on the core? i personally believe i COULD if it were to receive a bios flash that would remove the power limits and if the power connectors were overdrawn. what do you all think?

1250Mhz is a fairly big jump from its base 705-876Mhz, though as mentioned its probably that low due to thermal constraints.
The Titan Z uses the same GPU as in the 780Ti, so your basically looking at how well that can overclock under water then backing down a bit because its a dual GPU card (the power delivery just isn't going to as clean when dealing with double the wattage).

Your also going to be subject to the silicon lottery even moreso than usual since your dealing with two chips instead of one. Its possible, but realistically I dont think it is.

that makes total sense but with the card pulling 475-500w under load that would be a major jump and considering that the 8pin PCIE connector can actually handle up to 360W (id say more like 288 ish to provide some safety ROFL) so in total the card can get up to 651W so power delivery is not an issue however my biggest worry would be whether or not the traces on the PCB and the VRM's can handle 600w. now the issue presented here is that the card's BIOS will not allow that jump to 600W so give it a BIOS flash to make it think that it can. the main point i'm trying to think of is could a titan z perform identically to 2 overclocked titan black editions

I'm not talking power delivery via cables, I'm talking power delivery to the GPU's themselves. The VRM's under there are dealing with double the wattage, and there isnt double the hardware to deal with it.

If it were as simple as a BIOS flash then I bet people would have done it already.
