Custom cooled GTX 1080 spotted

Pictures of the first custom cooled GTX 1080 have appeared online, though this Galax GTX 1080 may not be the founders edition replacement that you have been looking for.

This custom version of the GTX 1080 has been designed to bring GTX 1080 performance at a lower price point by using a more budget friendly cooling design and removing the GPUs rear backplate. As you can see below this GPU does not have the aesthetically pleasing GTX 1080 "founders Edition" shroud, instead using a cheaper to produce plastic shroud, while maintaining the same general cooler design.

With a lower TBP than the GTX 980Ti this cooler will certainly be enough to cool this new powerhouse of a GPU, though it is likely that this cooler will run at slightly higher temperatures.

This new GPU will use the same reference PCB design as the Nvidia founders edition GTX 1080, so it should be compatible with future GTX 1080 water block designs.

You can join the discussion on this custom cooled GTX 1080 from Galax on the OC3D Forums.
