As you can see the monitor connectors are configured properly Three DP, one HDMI and one DVI connector.  There's proper room to exhaust air therough that amssive honey-comb vent. We don't see that much anymore with all cards we tested, so that is nice to see.

  

The GeForce GTX 1080 is roughly 11.2 inches in length which is ~28 cm so it should fit comfortably in pretty much any decent chassis. Precise measurements btw are 285mm x 133mm Centimeter. It is one of the thicker cards we have seen. The GPU empowering the product is called the A1 revision of the GP104-400 GPU. For those that wonder, the board is equipped with Micron GDDR5X memory ICs. An actual 8+2 phase power supply is responsible for supplying the GP104-400 GPU and that GDDR5X memory with power. The card (with cooler) weighs roughly 1000g. 
 

 

So that top and fan side LEDs would be the configurable RGB LED functionality. Above an example of the RGB LED configuration with (below) their software.
  

 


RGB LEDs are a bit of a trend and like everybody Palit is following. It is an OK implementation, there's not animation available aside from a rainbow preset that simply switches the primary colors. GPU temperature is nice but starts at a green color, and that just didn't look right. Our advise, pick a color that matches your PC style and leave it at it.  
  

 
Of course, you can also turn them off as well. That RGB coloring of your personal preference does work wonders in a color toned PC. Mind you, if a product has a white look, you probably want to match it with a white motherboard.
