Now that Nvidia’s top-end GTX 1080 Ti is in-market, enthusiasts have begun testing, to see just how much performance they can wring out of the core. So far, the GPU has proven to top out around 1.9GHz in best-case scenarios, with a typical boost clock of around 1.6GHz. But how far can that be pushed?

That’s what the folks at Tom’s Hardware wanted to know, so they built a custom water cooling loop to see how far the GTX 1080 Ti can be pushed. Well, that, and because they weren’t particularly pleased with the GPU’s overall noise level under load. Custom water cooling loops aren’t something I’ve gotten to play with very often, but I have built one when I tested the CryoVenom R9 290 just over three years ago (we used the same rig for testing a pair of Asus Poseidon GTX 780s as well).
