WINDFORCE 3X Cooling System The WINDFORCE 3X cooling system features 3 pure copper composite heat-pipes, special fin architecture, unique blade fan design, together delivering an effective heat dissipation capacity for higher performance at lower temperatures.
WINDFORCE 3X Cooling System-Fans Unique Blade Fan Design The airflow is spilt by the triangle fan edge, and guided smoothly through the 3D stripe curve on the fan surface, effectively enhancing the air flow by 23% over traditional fans.
3D Active Fan The semi-passive fans will remain off when the GPU is under a set loading or temperature for low power gaming.
WINDFORCE 3X Cooling System-Heat Pipes Composite heat-pipes The composite heat-pipes combines both thermal conductivity and phase transition for efficiently managing the transfer of heat between two solid interfaces which increases 29% of cooling capacity.
Heat Pipe Direct Touch The pure copper heat pipes are shaped to maximize the direct contact area to the GPU.
Stylish Metal Back Plate The metal back plate offers rigidity and protection to the structure, while adding a sleek, clean look to the product.
One-click Super overclocking With a simple click on XTREME engine utility, gamers can easily tune the card to meet their various gaming requirements without any overclocking knowledge, while saving the hassle of manual adjustment.
Smart Power LED indicators Be alert when PCI-E voltage is unstable with the smart power LED indicator.
Ultra Durable Materials Engineered with the highest-grade chokes and capacitors, this graphic card delivers outstanding performance and durable system lifespan.
Built for OverClocking with 8+2 power phases Compared to founders edition, the 8+2 power phases on the card make the MOSFET working at a lower temperature and provide more stable voltage output.
Xtreme Engine Adjust clock speeds, voltage, fan performance, power target can be monitored and tuned in real-time according to your own preference through this intuitive interface.

I have one of these. Sounds like a jet engine under load.

Then you probably have poor case cooling, because I've had one of these and a custom fan curve, and it was quiet and not getting hot.

Have 3 silent inlet fans and 2 silent outlet fans, all extremely quiet with water cooled 7700k. Air drawn in through front and back and pushed out top. No issue with airflow at all. Processor cool and so is GPU. Stays cool but is very noisy.

What temps is your GPU hitting when its like a jet engine?

You perhaps need to redo the thermal paste on the GPU.

Oh and air coming in from front and back makes zero sense.

Sorry, airflow in front and out through back and top. Have water cooler taking air from case to push out the back. Have negative pressure in the case as larger outlet fans on top. Have bottom of case sectioned off for power supply taking air from bottom and pushing out the back too. Case very rarely gets warm but is usually extremely quiet.

you can also quite easily set the power target to 70-80% to run the card much cooler without much frame loss

Gtx1080 do not get too hot...I would look to see if there's cooling issues or maybe play with the fan curve or TDP.

1080 fans don't run at all until the GPU goes over 50C

Think it's the fan curve TBH. I haven't looked at it since I installed the card. Swapped from a 970 which was whisper quiet.

There is no way this model of GTX1080 should be noisy even under full load, it's not a very high TDP GPU in the first place and this has a good cooler on it. It is one of the quietest models going. It is either faulty or you need to dabble with a custom fan curve.

Urm, slightly embarrassed. Took the side off to investigate last night and the card was quiet. Found issue, cable management. :disappointed:
When I put the side of the case back on it was pushing the spare 6+2 adaptor onto the end fan so the card was only running on 2 fans so had to work overtime. Tidied the cable up and as if by magic.........

Thank you to everyone who advised that the sound was not normal - Looks like PICNIC. :blush:

And gtx 1060 6gb costs over 300 lol. Would have to be mental to get 1060 now.

£275 and dropping :relaxed:

1060s are like £200 cheaper. If you are budgeting for £300 these are still a good choice.

msrp of gtx 1080 is $499, so its a decent price. heat
