No. Ive had one of mine go up to 125% though but no downlocking.

2.1 Ghz on one card and 2.2 Ghz on the second. The FE card is actually pretty solid. Perfect balance for day to day use is 85 degrees, 120% power target and fan set to 60% and that holds a stable boost 2000 mhz. Good balance between sound and performance.
About 10-15% ahead of TX performance, while running much quieter (then reference Titan X blower) The pair of 1080's give enough omphhh that 3440 x 1440 is more often then not running at a smooth 100 fps with a few minor tweaks.
try rainbow six siege ultra settings with no AA i get mid 40's

The Division@Ultra 
PCB / VRM's etc is all the same between the cards, they use the same Reference PCB. The Founders Edition does use a Vapour Chamber as used on the Titan X / 980Ti blower. Apparently does help. Not too sure if the MSI Aero / KFA use them however, doe not appear to do so, but of course how much of a diffrence it makes is hard to say.
The Founder edition given its a reference design is actually pretty decent in terms of noise compared to previous generations however, that much I can say.
Surely a reference PCB can have different parts?
Eg Nvidia design the PCB on the aero/kfa I don't see any reason why they wouldnt use cheaper/better vrm manufactures to save money
It will still mean its reference PCB but with different vendor vrms for example
Same as the amd 290 remember the alternative memory on *some* reference sucked hard for over clocking,?

The chances are it will do. pcb photos of the KFA2 "clown card" and nvidia founders edition. They are not exactly the same so likely a few cheaper parts on there.

Ok thanks
Great that helps guess I could take the same figures and take off 5% and that's what I'll see.
Thanks for the reply, FE 1080 ordered, now I gotta get back to the UK to try them

Looks like it is very much game dependent... In the division I am seeing similar gpu usage, but the top card sits at 78C and the bottom card 70C
I had three 680s. All "cheap" plastic cooler ones from Zotac, an overclockers brandes one and an MSI. All under water and all were fine overclockers. Managed to get +250 on core and +300 on memory across the board. While all the custom boards are really nice they are a bit over engineered in most cases - certainly they will be better overclockers at least in theory but the chip quality is likely the main factor. I have no worries about getting the clown card and a waterblocks with regards to overclocking.
Stick with the 1080. Your likely to see better frames and enjoy a smoother experience with a single card. Sell your 980s for £200+ each and enjoy.
Yes This
then its not cost so much once them 980's have sold for the strix
less power
more frames
NO SLI
...what is not to like there
Yes more VRAM as well for those newer games in 4K.... I must stay strong, thank you for helping convince me to stay the course
I'm going through the same Azazl but my 980's are the EVGA SC reference cards, so moving to a 1080 (can't decide between EVGA FTW or MSI Gaming X) will move me away from SLI and offer a quieter PC, more VRAM for the 1440p screen and a smoother experience.
I remember moving from GTX680's to a 780Ti and although it was similar performance, as would be the case here, I noticed a massive difference in smoothness. BF4 around the time played much better on the single card.
