55c at 1987MHz? Are you sure this isn't on water? Just curious why it's only using 92% of the power when it's set to 130%, would that be 92% of 390W or did you limit it with a voltage curve?

Not really impossible, when I benchmarked my 1080Ti FTW3 for a review my ambient temperature was about 26°C, the fans were at 100% and 117% power limit was set.
It really had trouble to reach 61°C on the GPU core, and the rest of the sensors reported temperatures between 50-61°C.
And my maximum default clock speed is also 1987MHz by GPU boost 3.0, but I think it goes back to 1949Mhz from 1961Mhz when you cross the 60°C mark.

It are just really well built cards with great cooling capacity for such a beast of a chip in a 2-slot design.

Anyway great card Sajin and hope you'll enjoy it!

I'm curious about the actual power usage? If it is around 110% usage like in Mass Effect Andromeda or Doom in 4K. The temp is gonna be above 65C for me even at 100% fan speed.
And...Is it loud at 100% fan speed? Mine is loud and I have to wear headphone to play Siege.

To me the FTW3 gets somewhat 'loud' beyond the 70% fan speed mark on all fans combined, but it's not something I'm bothered with as the CPU fans are a tenfold louder, everyone has their own tolerance levels.
I'm more concerned about durability of the fans than silent fans that break quickly and become noisier, requiring RMA and then getting a potentionally worse performing refurbished card.

Power usage did very often go above 110% and hit 117% in history (sometimes I even hit 120%)

The temperatures for the GPU under full load with the higher power target & draw in typical gaming loads can be anywhere between 63 to 68°C for me with fan speeds maybe hovering around 60-70%~, usually power fan is a bit higher than the rest as it has the hottest sensor which sometimes can hit 71°C, ambient temps of let's say 24-26°C.
This is mostly from playing GTA V as I play that the most, but the card during daytime is pretty much using all it's potentional at 80-100+ fps. (1440p, 1,5x scaling)
Case is well ventilated and one of the four 200mm fans is used as intake from the sidepanel directly on the GPU/mobo etc.
