DEAD ZONE
EKO
The latest innovation from ZOTAC, the dual blade EKO* (ek-oh) fan goes beyond traditional fan blade designs. The innovative design increases airflow by up to 30%, allowing more effective heat dissipation. EKO fan is the culmination of expert engineering and experience with each shape and curvature of the blade carefully designed to ensure highly efficient cooling while keeping noise level to the faintest whisper.
Carbon ExoArmor
Protection and durability enhance performance, reducing vibrations to refine noise even lower. The metal wraparound backplate and metal fan shroud unite to look and feel as one. Carbon fiber water transfer printing wraps up the look with an extra touch of style.
ICESTORM
Blending performance and style. Combining superior heat transfer capabilities of copper heatpipes, a large aluminum fin array, and triple EKO 90mm fans to accelerate cooling while reducing noise, and increasing airflow.
FREEZE
Fans will turn off or on when the GPU temperature pushes pass a set temperature threshold.

Pros: * Fastest factory clocked 980 Ti currently released * Highest stable O/C - able to reach stable +100 GPU/+400 RAM over the factory O/C settings (total of 1353MHz on core and 8020MHz on RAM, and >1500MHz on core during boost) * Incredible cooling (check temps on guru3d review) * No coil whine * Extremely well built (like the tank of GPU's) * Backplate eliminated sag
Cons: * Weird fan noise * Takes 3 slots for those who plan on SLI
Overall Review: Zotac really hit the bull's eye with this card. I was hesitant at first because of the brand name, but after reading Guru3D's review as well as comparing to my previous Gigabyte G1, I took the leap of faith in hopes of getting higher OC clocks. My card has an ASICS value of 76.0, and was able to OC easily to a stable clock of +100/+400 from using MSI Afterburner, applying a 60% fan speed (which is not noticeable inside the case) and a +87 mV core voltage and +11% power limit. I've ran it for about a month now with a combination of Unigine Heaven loop, 3D-Mark Firestrike, Witcher 3, CSGO, Heroes of the Storm, and various other games and did not get a single crash/freeze, BSOD or card reboot with these settings. I don't have the best airflow inside my case, and with an ambient temp of 72'F my card would not past 67'F on the core with a constant 60% fan setting. I think the 60% fan setting is optimal, it barely sounds louder than the 50% or 55% and provides enough cooling for any application at pretty much any OC clocks. When not doing any graphical demanding work, I leave the fan on auto, which basically turns off the fan and the temp hovers below 40'F. I was also able to hit +75/+400 stable without any changes in voltage or power limit, so if you don't care about the extra +25 MHz on the core, then this setting will run even cooler and quieter. I was also able to hit +125 MHz on the core and finish 3D Mark Firestrike, but Heaven crashed after 15 minutes. An OC of +150 MHz on core did not allow me to finish Firestrike. I also didn't see a reason to OC the RAM past +400, so I never bothered trying to OC it further. The only thing that bugs me is that the left most fan makes a weird noise, equivalent to the noise of coil whine, when it gets over 50% fan speed. It completely goes away when I stop the fan with my finger, so it's definitely some kind of mechanical issue. I decided that it didn't bother me enough to return the card, especially with the OC speed I was able to obtain. I can't hear it if I'm playing a game with either speakers or headphones, and I usually leave it on auto speed when not doing any GPU intensive work, so the fan is off. Contrary to common belief, there is ZERO coil whine on this card, and it's possible to replace the heatsink with a water block which completely eliminates this noise. Overall, I don't understand why this card isn't getting more attention than the other brands (particularly the Gigabyte G1 and the EVGA's, which this outperforms). It overclocks better than any other card, has the highest factory OC clocks, and most efficient cooling. I had the G1 originally and could not get past a +50 MHz OC on the core and had to deal with a bad coil whine so I got the Zotac instead. Overall, I am extremely pleased with this card. Zotac, even with their poor previous reputation, really showed an improvement in their top-tier products and I have a new found respect for them. It is an absolute MO-MO-MO-MO-MONSTER KILL!!
