THE GEFORCE RTX 3080 TI 12GB HOF OC LAB EDITION
The GALAX GeForce RTX 3080 Ti HOF OC Lab Edition 12GB is a massive tri-slot card that measures no less than 352mm in length and 160mm in height.
As with other GeForce RTX 3080 Ti 12GB cards the HOF OC lab Edition by GALAX is using three fans (102mm for the side fans and 92mm for the center fan) all of which spin counter clockwise (the center fan is also one of the three ARGB zones).
The main cooler consists by 2 large aluminum heatsinks all of which are connected via 6 heatpipes.
I was a bit surprised to see that the far left side of the card is covered so hot air can’t exit from there (probably so it can exit from the right side).
The model of the card at the top is one of the three available ARGB zones.
GALAX equipped their 3080 Ti HOF OC Lab Edition graphics card with three 8-pin power connectors to provide more juice for serious overclockers.
The rear aluminum backplate looks very nice and the company logo seen here is also the 3rd and last ARGB zone.
You can find the dual-BIOS switch on the far left of the rear.
Moving at the front of the card we find the 1 click OC button, 3 Display Port 1.4a ports and a single HDMI 2.1 port.
ARGB lighting is not all over the place which is fine, still I would had liked it more if all 3 fans were illuminated.
As a small bonus for this review, I also managed to get the EAGLE GeForce RTX 3080 Ti 12GB by GIGABYTE so this model will also be included in the charts.
