Zotac makes small GTX 1080 Ti of 21cm long with water cooling block

Zotac has presented the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti ArcticStorm Mini. It is a small version of the video card with a water cooling block that the company released earlier. The card is 212mm long, making it the smallest water-cooled 1080 Ti according to the manufacturer.

The characteristics of the ArcticStorm Mini are similar to those of the large variant announced in May and measuring 30cm in length. The water block covers the entire video card and cools all components. A black backplate is placed on the back and the transparent water block is equipped with white LEDs. In the large version, these are RGB LEDs.

On the video card is an ArcticStorm cooling buck for a custom loop water cooling. Zotac gives the GPU a base clock of 1506MHz and a boost to 1620MHz. That is barely higher than the reference speeds of 1480 and 1582MHz that Nvidia specifies. The clock speeds are the same as those of the larger GTX 1080 Ti ArcticStorm.

Zotac has not disclosed the price of the ArcticStorm Mini and when the card will be available. The large variant is currently in the Pricewatch for just under a thousand euros. Zotac previously released an air-cooled GTX 1080 Ti Mini, which is also about 21 cm long.
