Inno3D Announces GeForce GTX 980 Ti iChill X4 Ultra
Inno3D announced its flagship GeForce GTX 980 Ti based graphics card, the GTX 980 Ti iChill X4 Ultra. The card derives its name from a gargantuan custom air cooling solution by the company, which features four fans - three cooling the main GPU heatsink; and one along the card's top, cooling the memory and VRM. The main heatsink, a little over 2 slots thick, features a meaty aluminium fin-stack heatsink, with two aluminium fin-stacks projecting from a central base. This heatsink is ventilated by three 100 mm fans, suspended on a metal shroud, which is easily detachable by turning a few thumb-screws. The second heatsink draws heat from the heatspreader covering the memory and VRM, using a flat heat pipe, dissipating it under air-flow by a 60 mm spinner.
The card offers factory-overclocked speeds of 1152 MHz core, 1241 MHz GPU Boost, and 7200 MHz (GDDR5-effective) memory; against reference speeds of 1000 MHz core, 1076 MHz GPU Boost, and 7012 MHz memory. The underlying PCB is NVIDIA reference design, featuring an 8-phase VRM, and 6-pin + 8-pin PCIe power connectors. Display outputs include one each of HDMI 2.0, dual-link DVI, and three DisplayPort 1.2 connectors. Expect the card to feature a 10% pricing premium over reference. Based on the 28 nm GM200 silicon, the GTX 980 Ti offers 2,816 CUDA cores, 176 TMUs, 96 ROPs, and a 384-bit wide GDDR5 memory interface, holding 6 GB of memory. The card bundles a medium-sized mousepad with iChill branding, and a key to 3DMark (2013) Advanced.

But I like different coolers so I may just be weird :P
