It's true; some AIB RTX 2080 GPUs will be slower than Nvidia's Founders Edition

Thum thar be the limits of a blower on Turing I would guess. It was starting to creak on the XP, let alone Volta.
Edit. What we need here is some ingenuity. "Sometimes the most simple ideas work the best"
Lift up the PCB meaning you can fit a bigger fan, meaning more air with less noise.
Personally? if my rig was all AIO cooled I would NOT want a card dumping hot air in the case. I found that out when I had my 7990.

If all reference style 2080's do indeed have the same core specs, Same PCB, Components etc... then this could be remedied easily by getting a good 3rd party cooler or slapping an AIO onto it.

From my experience a single 120 rad was not enough to allow my Titan to go bonkers. That took a 240. That said though they make 240 AIOs, but that is what I would want on a card like this.
I mean you're in for a penny I guess.. You should at least cool it properly. Kaap mentioned a few times that the blower cooler was not good enough for the Titan V. Well I guess this won't be much different.

Blower style coolers have never been that great. I would say a 1070 is MAX for a blower style.
But what I DO like with the 10xx series blower coolers were that for a ITX system then they came in handy as they exaust the hot air.

It's the same thing just a different cooler so yeah slap a block on, save some money, and call it a day
Founder cards were not great. My 1080ti struggled and downclocked quickly.
Gainward Golden sample blowers however. I am very surprised how well they performed. It ran 10C lower than my founder card and also clocked higher.
Guess it varies card to card, but judging by the dual fans on the RTX, we are leaving the era of single fan blowers. We will find out once sites like Guru3D get their plethora of AIB cards.
But the title is a bit misleading. Is the clock speed "low" or is it meant to refer that it will be "lower" than the founders edition. To me that is a big difference. Not sure how you can claim low when the base clock value is absent.
