Finally bit the bullet and joined the club. EVGA 1080ti SC2 to go with my 7700k recent upgrade. Damm you OCUK stop making me spend my money.
Good combo

Knock-on effect...
A thread elsewhere led me to impulse buy an Oculus Rift... Even though I remain unconvinced about VR.
A consequent look at some of the games' recommended specs had me getting the GPU upgrade itch (from r9 290x)...
So I bought an Aorus Xtreme 1080ti For 4K gaming and VR.
It comes with a decent factory overclock but I can't help but feel a little disappointed I can only apply another +30 on the core, +485 on memory. Voltage and power limit all the way up. Should I be?
PC crashes and reboots when more applied. Stability testing with 3dMark Time Spy. Score 7739, with a 4770K at 4.4GHz and a Superflower 1000W Platinum PSU.
Edit:
Firestrike Extreme score 11438. That has it sitting in with OCed 1080s in the bench thread. Should be capable of more, right?

Prices Seem to have been discounted a lot recently why is that?
Gave in to Black Friday deal. EVGA 1080ti SC Black Edition.
Temporary flex tube run for the CPU. Water block and back plate in the new year for the GPU.
With the case window off and when not under load, this card puts out some very cold air!
The card is uttery silent and solid out of the box. 2037 core goes to 1988 and holds. If I up it by 2 lots (26) it can hold with a quite aggrssive fan profile (roughly linked 1 to 1 / fan to temp)

Looks to me that nobody at Colorful or the RNG eSports Gaming Team understand how fans/airflow work XD
