At default settings, overall you are looking at a card that consumes over 315 Watts under full load. The cooler seems to be doing a good job in both cooling performance as well as its low noise-levels. The card remains passive up-to a GPU temperature of 55~60 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. ZOTAC will try to force as much performance out of the card at a maximum cooling threshold of roughly 65 Degrees C for this 1080 Ti model with the triple fan design cooler.

The card is very lenghty and thick, roughly 12.2 inches in length which is around 31 cm so it should fit only in decent size chassis. A 16 GPU + 2 mem 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. 

 
We know, we know... they are a bit of a trend and like everybody is following. The LED system can be controlled. The lighting system on this graphics card is capable of displaying millions of colors and different effects for a personalized gaming system. But my man, this sure looks nice. In it's default configuration the colors change with load. Low load is blue, heavy load is red.
