I think it is odd that there is a cut out in the cooler shroud for an extra power connector, but there isn't a connector there. So you can see right into the shroud. Pretty ugly looking, IMO.

I know that is where the fan header thing is, but I'd rather they put that at the back of the card, and avoid that ugly hole in the side of the shroud.

There's actually a fan header next to the 8-pin. ASUS has done something similar on their new Strix cards as well I think, two fan headers on the end of the card, that are PWM controller just like the fans on the card. So the hole isn't just an empty hole.

Yep. It even says it in the opening post:

You also get one 4-pin PWM case-fan header, with which you can drive at least one case fan in sync with the GPU temperatures (the GTX 1080 STRIX features two such headers).

Probably a way to help with this cards likely sub-FE style of cooler (I doubt this even has a vapor chamber).
