Overall you are looking at a card that consumes roughly 285 Watts under full load really. The cooler with MaxContact technology seems to be doing a good job in both cooling performance as well as its low noise-levels. The card remains passive, as up-to a GPU temperature of 55 Degrees C the fans do not even spin. The fans used are a new revision and should also offer a bit more airflow whilst protecting them from dust. ASUS will try to force as much performance out of the cards at a maximum cooling threshold of roughly 70 Degrees C for this 1080 Ti model with the STRIX design and cooler.
The card is 11.7 inches in length which is roughly 30 cm so it should fit comfortably in pretty much any decent chassis. An 10+2 phase power supply is responsible for supplying the GP102 GPU with power. The two additional power phases are dedicated to the board’s GDDR5X memory.
The RGB LEDs and embedded LED strip are AURA SYNC compatible. We know, we know .. they are a bit of a trend and like everybody is following. The LED system can be controlled. ROG Strix graphics cards are capable of displaying millions of colors and six different effects for a personalized gaming system and thus when the graphics card is paired with an Aura-enabled gaming motherboard, easily configurable.
