Following some well reported issues with their GTX 1080 EVGA have returned to the fray with probably the most robust GTX 1080 Ti you're likely to find.

Nice review Tom and I have to say the more I see that cooler the more it grows on me as I really didn't like it at first, and really good of EVGA to sort any possible issues with these cards and as you said they really deserve Kudos for the way they handled everything.

Same. I wasn't sure at first it looked like a 3D printed cast for a broken arm. Now I quite like it - especially the plain black version.

Definitely over engineered and that's a good thing, very good of them! Also staying with a 2 slot design is welcome in my book because if there's one thing that eats me up it's sag 
Thanks for the review!
Thanks for the review!
Power% is where the OC'ing really gets its benefit. even with unlocked cards or tweaked bios Ive never really seen enough of a boost to warrant it.
Newer cards just dont respond to it like the old ones used to.

Pascal is the evolution of Maxwell. GPU boost 3 is probably getting them to the limit of the technology. We see all the cards peaking around 2100 MHz. Pro overclockers with all the tweaks need to boost power a lot to get response from the card. And that requires LN to cool it.
Edit: Older cards had more of the thermal limit than the power one. Air coolers weren't that efficient, and when you put them under water you could bump the power up. Now when air coolers are good, water just gives you lower temperatures and maybe few MHz more.
