I have two of those cards already in my current machine. Are you talking about buying them used?

That's fine. I was wondering if you knew of a new source for them.
So, about watercooling... I've never installed any. My computer has a few self-contained WC components, but that's it. How would I go about learning all the parts I need and how to set them up?
Lastly, on my current system, I have (2) 780s and a 650. I use the 650 for displays, and the 780s for render. Would it make sense to replace the 650 with a 780 so I could WC them all, using one of them for display?

Yes - go with 4x780 6gb. For WC advice read my build log. The rest is on youtube and overclock forum.
In the first three lines, it looks to be about $700. Does that sound right? I'm not sure what the rest of the items are in order to look them up. Here's what I have so far. Am I close?
I am getting 90 degree temps for my titans whilst using octane...is this safe? I am using CPUID HW monitor.
Thanks

safe anough, but get better fans if noise isn't a problem, tune a lot of airflow through Your case. if that is not going to help, manually set lower temperature target & it should be fine =) but You start loosing render performance. Watercooling is another option..

Hi
Thanks for replying
Ok. So 90 should be ok temps. Performance at the moment is great so I dont want to touch the gpu settings etc.
They make a fair bit of noise but I really dont care. Noise isolating headphones covers that.
I will look into getting some more fans to put inside my case. I have 750D Corsair Case. Can you recommend me any decent fans?
