In non overclock mode 1.8 is hard to achieve and sustain. Raise the power/temp/fan speed target and you are good to go to 2Ghz. That's what I have been reading thus far.

Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
Someone is lying...

Noise tolerance depends on the person, temps/throttling depends on the test environment.
After looking at 1080 FE reviews on the whole, I can say I have no interest in buying one largely due to those issues.

I've never come across a GPU cooler running at 100% fan speed where the fan was unnoticeable. Even the quietest coolers are audible at 100% and reference cooling is VERY audible at full blast, at least it has been with every single reference card I've ever owned and that applies to nVidia and AMD.

You can still pour liquid nitrogen over the card and claim it can run 2GHz+ at 50°C. You could also stand in another room and claim it's silent.
There are 3 possible reasons:
1. Reviewers really "lie" to advertise Nvidia. (wouldn't expect that from most reviewers with those extremely good measurements though)
2. There is such a big fluctuation in card/chip quality.
3. The ambient conditions were different/unrealistic. See my extreme example above.
Probably a mix of all three. Looking forward to the release, so more reviewers can review retail cards and we see who "lied" and how those cards perform in average condition.

Or they ran a game that barely taxed the GPU while running a higher fan speed...
Or they did not mess around with the target for temp and power, and also did not adjust the fan profile to be more aggressive.
Quite a few reviews did not change those settings, or explain why they might need adjusting.
Cheers
It can happen but almost never does.
Why not? Because "well ventilated" in this case usually means 3-4+ 120mm fans running at moderate to high speeds.
It also depends on where the fans are in the case too. If they're not directly airflow at the GPU you might not see much benefit even with that many fans.
Most sites test with open bench because its much more convenient which I can understand but if the 1080 is having throttling issues on a open bench its almost a sure thing it'll have much bigger throttling issues in a average PC case.
If you want a 1080 just wait a bit for 3rd party cards to show up with better coolers which should fix any throttling issues and maybe even overclock better. They might even be a tad cheaper too.
