Very pleased so far. But today the fan has decided to permanently run at 100%. Hmmm.

My One.
Cards have turned up today
Just testing them now before getting the w/blocks on later today. So far so good. Will have some pics of blocks later today or tomorrow.
Quality of these has surprised me. They do look and feel really top quality. Weighs a tonne compared to my ref Ti's.
Bought some other stuff so ended up with 3 bags haribo lol.
Add me kaap
Edit: Both cards boosting by themselves up to 1911mhz dead with no overclock. Overclocked both are boosting to over 2.1ghz with no voltage increase. Can't wait to get these under water!
Welcome and on TROH.

To get on the Roll of Honour all you have to do is post a pic with your user name on it of your GTX 1080.

That's a nice boost clock with stock settings, very nice.

Thanks
. Just waiting for the blocks now. Can't wait to see what they can do under water.Hopefully today if not tomorrow.

Thanks
Hopefully today if not tomorrow.
Why would they do more under water?
So how do we get to the bottom of this ? Should we wait or PM you to get the answer ?
I kinda feel like.....2100MHz 1080 vs 1500 980Ti = 10-13% difference.
If I go on ebay I can get 980Ti for <400£ which is 1/2 of the cost of 1080.
Now...is paying 100% more for 10% performace adequate cosidering I have high end watercooling system and if 1080 is locked to 1.25V my cooling system is not going to be used to its full potential and I will gain nothing rly
Soldato
Core and VRMs generally perform better at a cooler temperature allowing for greater overclocking potential.
Not to mention I've not tested with any voltage increase. Custom bios etc.
Hoping thermals help overclock but like 8pack said its restricted to 1.25 volts. Only ln2 managed 2.5 with mods so I guess 2.2 is guna b the average overclock.
I spoke too soon about not ordering one, got a Gigabyte FE coming on Wed.
Don't forget to post some pics.
There's always a limiting factor, otherwise we would run 8800GTX @ 150,000 Mhz.
Also what would anyone expect to achieve by adding more than 1.25v ? Besides benchmarks, even a very optimistic extra 100 Mhz wouldn't even be perceivable in games.
To me this seems like a non issue.
We pushed the 980Ti from 1000 to 1500, we can push this from 1600 to 2100, we're not far off at all.
A bit disappointing and perhaps that's why we haven't seen the clocks on the higher end cards yet, as they aren't much different.
Still, I'll be happy with my Xtreme whenever it does arrive.

Just adding the blocks now. Laughing thinking who the hell wrote these EK instructions.
"Remove all encircled screws using pliers" PLIERS!
Bearing in mind these are the pcb screws that are for a 4 or 5mm spanner by the looks of it. Sat here gingerly removing them with 6" bacho adjustable. Well...

Yep EKWB are famous for their awful instructions.
Fortunately you can figure out what they really mean if you are patient.

Pics please...I'm mega interested in something like this on the clown version...
That's exactly the card I got and I got it because I was always planning on doing this to it anyway
Have a GPU support bracket under the card to stop it sagging...crappy picture and at a bit of a dodgy angle but you get the idea:
Just needed to do this to the HG10 980 to get it to fit on the 1080:
