Test Rig
For our tests, we used a new test rig which is comprised of an Asus ROG Rampage VI Extreme (X299) Motherboard, along with an Intel Core i5-7640X at default clock speed of 4.0GHz, as well as 16GB of G.Skill Trident-Z DDR4-3200 ram in dual channel mode.
All tests were conducted at default clock speeds at a resolution of 1920×1080. High or Ultra settings enabled.

FireStorm Software
You can use the included FireStorm software to overclock and tweak your GTX 1070 Ti. Spectra lighting can also be adjusted here too.

Idle Temperatures
At default clock speeds of 1607 MHz, the idle temperature was around 35 degrees Celsius. No problems here. If the default clock speed of 1607 MHz is not enough for you … you may try and overclock it a little using the Firestorm software from Zotac.
Load Temperatures
At full load, the card reached a high of 54 degrees Celsius, which was surprisingly low. I’m guess the large heatsink and triple fans really help with the cooling.
