Triple fan with Zero RPM
Massive thermal solution
Back plate
 
  Great thermal performance
     
  Super low acoustic level
     
  Low components temperature to ensure long life time
     
  2-slot design
Triple fan design
For lower temperature
Zero RPM fan
0 dB for GPU under 60 degree C
 
  Three-fan design: get 30% more airflow to move
the heat away from the fins operation
     
  All the fans will start to work for cooling the board
when the GPU's temperature raises to 60 degree C
or higher.
     
  Keep silent while under light loading operation
Zero RPM fan design
All the fans will start to work for cooling the board when the GPU's temperature raises to 60 degree C or higher.
   
Keep silent while under light loading operation
Smart heat pipes design
     
  Heat Pipes design: 4XU shape+1XS shape, to establish an 8-pipes design.
     
  Fully cool down the GPU to achieve maximum over-clocking capability
Smart Fin design
And "Honeycomb" shape bracket Benefit hot air flow out
 
  Fin design: with horizontal placement on the left and vertical placement on the right - the hot air on the left side may flow away outside through the bracket, the hot air on the right side will flow different way, the hot air not to get conflict.
     
  "Honeycomb" shape bracket design increases 20% space in this 2-slot bracket. Hot air can blows away easily with more space.
     
  Smoothly air-flow will increase cooling performance. Those fans can work lower rpm to keep GPU cool and generate less noise.
Massive thermal solution
 
 
Copper base design
Cool faster and efficiently
DrMOS directly cooled
Lower DrMOS temperature for over-clocking
GDDR5 chips directly cooled
Lower DRAM temperature for over-clocking
 
  All heat pipes are soldered by an copper base, GPU's heat can go through the copper base and pass to all pipes. Those pipes can then transfer heat to fins.
     
  All the DrMOS chips of GPU PWM circuit are cooler directly, a copper base is attached to those DrMOS chips to provide even fast thermal transformation from DrMOS and cool down even faster.
     
  All 12 pcs 7Ghz GDDR5 Chips are cooled directly, thermal module attaching those chips to be cool down efficiently.
Back plate design
Cool and protection
 
A back plate is fabricated on the backside of the board, and a thermal pad is attached between the plate and board PCB.
   
Lower the temperature of PWM circuit up to 11 degree C.
   
Protect the components from damage on the backside.
   
With the new design, Gainward GTX 980 Ti Phoenix "GS" with factory over-clocked speed gets 6dB quieter than reference board under full load operation.

"Golden Sample"
 
Factory over-clocked
Gainward GeForce GTX 980 Ti Phoenix "GS" works not only much higher clock speed than reference board - offers unbelievable performance but provides reliability and extra over-clocking capability. With the factory over-clocked speed, it outperforms GTX 980 Ti reference board by 11% gaming performance (BF3).
Extreme silent acoustics in 3D heavy loading under f actory over-clocked speed PWM Power Balance
With the new design, Gainward GTX 980 Ti Phoenix "GS" with factory over-clocked speed gets 6dB quieter than reference board under full load operation.
Extreme cool in 3D heavy loading under factory over-clocked speed
Thanks to the new cooler Gainward GTX 980 Ti Phoenix "GS" with factory over-clocked speed performs 10o C lower GPU temperature than reference board with reference clock.

  UNIQUE FEATURES
 
Gainward superior hardware design
With the experience of the Gainward's award winning high-performance/wide-bandwidth hardware design, GeForce GTX 980 Ti, again, with re-designing the entire hardware, that brings -
1) lower energy loss
2) lower EMI level
3) higher stability under high current operation (heavy loading operation).
6-phase + 2 PWM Power Balance
Gainward designs 6 phases + 2 dynamic switch phases with DrMOS for GPU core and 2 phases power supply for graphics memory that helps to supply enough fuel to the 3D graphics engine and memory chips. The 6 phases + 2 dynamic switch phases to ensure no single supply source is overloaded. By load-balancing the power source to maximize the over-clocking, efficiency and stability the voltage level, the choke noise and EMI noise also be reduced.
DrMOS
Gainward continues using DrMOS in those phases of PWM for core power circuit. DrMOS is designed to handle high current with low noise operation and less heat generating.
Thanks to superior hardware design, Gainward's GeForce GTX 980 Ti gains not only more power efficiency but better performance while gaming.
