It is time to take and test the smallest and best cooled that Zotac has available, the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti ArcticStorm Mini. This liquid cooled graphics cards comes 100% customized with factory tweaks, simply hook it into your liquid cooling loop and go massive on cooling performance. Ahw yeah!

Very nice. It's just too bad the DVI connector can't be removed to make this a single-slot card. If a GPU comes out of the box with single-slot liquid cooling, the mounting bracket might as well be single-slot too.

When will ZOTAC release the 1080 Ti ArticStorm Mini in the US? It is not listed for sale anywhere.

Hi Hilbert, thanks for the review. I have a few questions that maybe you can answer, i have a custom loop on a ncase m1 and i was looking for this gpu to make an upgrade from a 980ti reference with a ek block. My main questions are:
1) Is the block made from cooper with nickel platting or is made from aluminum?
2) What are the dimmesion from the black block on the side of the card? If you can can you measure the width of the card including the side block?
3) Also can you flip the black block so you can trow the tubing going to the cpu side of the motherboard?
I kinda think that Zotac missed the point of this card... If you are gonna do a mini card for a custom loop and force the end user to route the tubes on a weird way and not make it directly connectable to the cpu seems to me that it will consume more volume space that a reference card with a ek block that have the option to throw the tubing from the front or the back of the card.
Thanks!

Looks like it can be flipped.

Great review Hilbert! Love the aesthetics on this card and wish Zotec ditched the DVI connector for a full single slot GPU!
Now if they can release future Vega/Navi and Volta cards like this when I finally get ready for 4K (next year, maybe...)
