Yeah well I been thinking about ZOTAC/AORUS/STRIX because of 3 fans and MSI only using 2 fans... Well could anyone suggest anything?
Click to expand...
STRIX = decent heatsink +ASUS TAX + RGB crap + fan headers. (which any motherboard can do..)
ZOTAC = not much RGB, however very good cooler + 5 year warrenty
AORUS = decent cooler, + extra HDMI for VR + DVI connector
MSI = fatter heatsink, might be quieter due to 2 Fans vs 3. Has better power phasing according to buildzoid. (can refresh power states faster than AORUS & STRIX)

All motherboards of course have fan headers but none I've owned can be set to respond the to the GPU temperature, which I think is the main point of the headers being on the Strix. The Strix pricing (there is a non OC model) is comparable to most of the AIB 1080Ti's. The only 'cheap' one I've seen is the pre-order price of the EVGA model.
The Strix also has 2 HDMI connectors and a DVI connector (as I think many of the AIB's do).

All decent Asus motherboards allow you to adjust fan speed by GPU temperture as does MSI

Here what would sell
Stealth Black PCB
Stealth/Gun metal Cooler
Black Heatsink with Copper Heatpipes
NO RGB
3 Fan design
8/10 Phase none switching design, for fast more efficent power switching
8+8Pin
2.5Slot & 4 Slot Design

Outputs
Standard Nvidia 3DP 1 HDMI
Lower Price Point, due to less features

Reminds me of this card which I personally designed with KFA:


KFA2 GeForce GTX 970 OC Silent "Infin8 Black Edition" 4096MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card **WorldWide Exclusive** @ £199.99 inc VAT



Core Clock: 1178MHz, Boost Clock: 1329MHz, Memory: 4096MB 7010MHz GDDR5, Stream Processors: 1664, SLI Ready, VR Ready, PhysX/CUDA Enabled, 2 Years Warranty.



Only £199.99 inc VAT.

ORDER NOW




:)
- Black / gunmetal cooler
- Twin fan as was ample for 970
- Black backplate
- Nikel coated black heatpipes
- Black I/O plate
- Coil whine reduction technology
- Uprated power phase


It was mainly focused on aesthetics and low noise, in short it was a huge hit as we managed to sell just shy of 6000 units. :D

Never one to miss out on a plug hey @Gibbo ;)

Its not a plug as the product is no longer for sale, just saying I designed such cards a couple of years ago now along those lines and they were a big hit. :)

Unfortunately now NVIDIA sells direct to consumer there is nowhere near the same demand so its no longer commercially viable for me to spend time designing products with board partners as the MOQ (3000 units) is simply too high for us to do so. :(
 
Hi there

80 units of Asus 1080Ti Strix OC arriving at OcUK tomorrow! So the first 80 customers who paid and funds cleared will get their cards Wednesday unless they specified another delivery option. :D

Even better news a further 105 units arriving next week which leaves around 50 cards spare, so get ordering as your will have your card by end of next week if you order a Strix OC now.

Awesome work by Asus to ship such huge volume so early on. :)

Are you not worried about all the reports of coil whine?
