Other options in the company’s arsenal include the fan-cooled GTX 1080 Amp Edition with a base clock speed of 1,683MHz and a boost clock speed of 1,822MHz, the GTX Founders Edition with a base clock speed of 1,607MHz and a boost clock speed of 1,733MHz, and the GTX 1080 Amp Extreme with a base clock speed of 1,771MHz and a boost clock speed of 1,991MHz.

Zotac announced their newest GTX 1080 model, this one equipped with a liquid cooling solution, flawless for advanced, liquid-cooled PC configurations. Based on the GTX 1080 config, the chip offers 2560 CUDA Cores, 160 TMUs and 64 ROPs. Zotac advertises a 1632 MHz base and a 1771 MHz boost clock, which is a modest bump over Nvidia’s reference design.
“ArcticStorm uses innovative designs and the best materials to deliver the one of the coolest temperatures”, the company said.
Power to the card is provided through dual 8-Pin connectors which seem a bit too much but that’s needed to feed the impressive power delivery system featured on the PCB. The card with its powerful component layout is created to push overclocks to the limit and you would never need to worry about the temperatures as this card is cooled by liquid. Extreme graphics card, the new Zotac GTX 1080 Arctic Storm also comes with a full cover water block and a decent factory-overclock. These micro channels measure at 0.3mm precision cut thickness and allow maximum flow path for heat to be dissipated effectively out of the block. Unfortunately, we do not expect it to come cheap, mostly due to a custom PCB and a full-cover water block. A metal wraparound backplate keeps the card from bending.
According to Zotac, the waterblock supports the company’s Spectra lighting system, which can be customized through the free, revamped FireStorm tuning software users can download from Zotac’s website.

Aqua Computer is also only selling the block, not the entire card + block ensemble.
