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.

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.........

This for £422 scan.co.uk/pro…mhz or should I go for the Gtx 1080? Will be running on 1080p 144Hz monitor
vulcanproject to Undercuva
18 Sep 17#28
At just 1080p both are going to be very fast cards. I would argue the GTX1070 isn't that overkill for it if you want high framerates and it'll last a while. £420 is too much for a GTX1070 at this point. You can get them for £370 even in this inflated market.
GTX1080 is kinda overkill for 1080p you'll be hitting 100FPS+ on most games. If you are going to spend £400+ on a GPU though the GTX1080 is the choice at this price for the moment. Don't be paying over £400 for a GTX1070 now, it's mad.
Undercuva to vulcanproject
18 Sep 17#30
Thanks for the reply, I couldnt find 1070 for around £370 other then the mini's, I might just hold out for longer for now lol.
vulcanproject to Undercuva
18 Sep 17#31
To be fair, the minis are generally good cards. The Zotac one may have no back plate but it really doesn't seem a big deal on a smaller card like that, and the cooler is very good. It's not like the GTX1070 is a very hot GPU. It doesn't require some monster cooler. It doesn't really use any more power than a GTX970.
ritchiedrama to Undercuva
18 Sep 17#32
Definitely go for the 1080.
Even 1080 doesn't hold 144fps at ultra settings @ 1080P - anyone who says it does, don't know what they're talking about. :smile:
GrenD to Undercuva
19 Sep 17#41
If you've got £420 to throw down, save the extra £40 and get the 1080, both are possibly overkill but you're future proofing yourself.

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

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.
Pweda to ritchiedrama

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.

Oh and air coming in from front and back makes zero sense.
Pweda to ritchiedrama
18 Sep 17#10
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
