Its not terribly talked about, but Titan X Pascals at $160ish which is what I got mine for, a great value. They are really talked about much at all. Always overshadowed by either the grander Titan Xp or cheaper/ better cooled 1080ti. But right now you can reliably find them for $30-50 chaper than the other two.
Mine was in good shape, but ran hot. I overclocked it regardless and was able to run +175 on the core clock and +300ish on the memory. But 88° is hot, especially at 100% fan speed. So, I repasted (Very easy btw) and although the core clock cant get above that +175 without crashing, I can get the memory to +450 and was maxxing at 79° and usually came down.
The big gain was stability though. Before the core would avg 1962 and slowly throttle to about 1880 or worse. However now it goes from avg 1974 to 1962 and thats fantastic.
Titans are great and should be fondly remembered no matter how terrible they truly were especially this one and my soon to be next pick up, the Titan V.
TLDR; Repaste your titan x pascal. And probably anything else of that era
