There are not that high of a risk to doing it as there is no soldering involved, just a steady hand
with grizzly liquid metal few brushes over the 3 resisters 10ohm and presto and can be removed very easy with actone so as it does not void the warranty... though how high is your moral compass.... lots of people have done it and it does work though its up to you if you want to do it 
becuse nvidia set the power limit that is within spec for the default clocks that the card takes..... (now over clocking is entirely different) otherwise nvidia would have done it from the factory

They do it so power usage is lower, from factory they wouldn't need to do it they could just put lower resistance resistors on the card.

In the olden days, I would have done it but now I just like to game.

TDP is quite high on it
least you get extra years warranty on it
and as you say, only ones doing a triple 100mm design within 300mm length. Think its 3 slot compared to 2.5 slot though, so hard to telljust realised they moved one of the internal HDMI to the IO rear port

It is no mistake, just like 1080, the Zotac Extreme is the ABSOLUTE BEST 1080Ti on the market, most phases, highest boost clocks and most powerful cooling solution that is also whisper quiet! Plus the 5yr warranty, Zotac really is the no.1 one now and just like with 1080 is I was choosing a 1080Ti Zotac Extreme would be my top choice, followed closely by Aorus Extreme and Asus ROG Strix OC. None of the other cards particular get me excited, but those three do, I do like the Inno3D cards as well, but Zotac all the way.

lol The Gigabyte while a faster card I'm sure look cheap and plastic. The Asus ROG same, the shroud is cheap plastic and plain jane. Could care less for ROG brand. Everything RED needs to go away. The Zotac is nice though. Were happy with EVGA.
The Aorus Extreme is a mighty impressive card, its memory is clocked at nearly 11,500MHz and its boost clock is nearly 1750MHz, it has a 4yr warranty, out the box it should perform identical to Zotac Extreme or just pip it, but for me the Zotac has the better power phase, 16+2 vs 12+2 though in reality you don't need it, but its bragging rights yes.
In short Zotac Extreme and Aorus Extreme are the two absolute best 1080Ti, they are the masterclass and Asus Strix OC and Inno3D X3/X4 are also really nice.
But for me I would always be simply looking to buy Zotac or Aorus Extreme or maybe the Strix as I do like my Asus kit.
Well, that's me persuaded. I was going with the Sea Hawk but now I'm gonna change my order to the Zotac instead

MSI have no card to compete with Aorus Extreme and Zotac Extreme, not even close. They will have to release a Lightning card to compete with those which so far there is no news or even rumours off. If that happens will probably be July or later, so pointless I'd want my 1080Ti NOW, I wanna game NOW!

Yeah, I don't think I can wait that long >< What'd be the best way to get my order changed? I've sent a webnote but should I call you guys instead? Sorry to be a pain!
