AORUS Cooling
The new AORUS GTX 1080 Ti/1080/1070 graphics cards pack the highly-acclaimed WINDFORCE Stack Cooling module.

Excessive heat from GPU can be dissipated through the copper back plate, providing a well-rounded, total cooling solution.
The patent-pending 100mm stack fans provide larger and smoother airflow over the heatsink compared to the conventional triple-80mm-fan configuration. The overlapping design allows for more heatsink coverage as well, together delivering a maximum 10% cooling enhancement. The semi-passive fans will remain off when the GPU is under idle or low power gaming. The LED fan indicator on the top of the graphics card provides an instant display of the fan status.
