    Zotac GTX 1080 mini

    Does anyone have any experience/comments on the GTX 1080 mini cards? I see that Gigabyte and Zotac are the only makers of mini versions. They seem amazing for the ncase M1 as far as airflow is concerned. Are there any cons in the mini cards? I'm leaning towards the Zotac due to the dual fan...
