Overall this massive number of OpenGL/Vulkan tests run, here are some overall metrics:

Zotac GeForce GTX 1070 Ti Mini - NVIDIA Linux Performance

The Zotac GeForce GTX 1070 Ti Mini averaged running all of these tests at 50% fan-speed for its cooler and only peaked at 58%.

The exposed GPU power consumption of the cards themselves via NVIDIA-SMI. For all these tests ran, the GTX 1070 Ti Mini had an average power draw of 123 Watts and a peak of 199 Watts while at idle was only 12 Watts.

The Zotac cooler did a good job keeping this small GeForce GTX 1070 Ti cool. For all the tests ran, the idle temp was 32°C, the average temp under load was 57°C, and the peak temperature was just 68°C.

Within the Core i7 8700K Coffee Lake system, the average AC system power draw during all of these tests was 211 Watts, a minimum at idle of 44 Watts, and a peak of 289 Watts. Again, a ton more data is available via this OpenBenchmarking.org link.

Overall, quite happy with this purchase and for those needing a high-end GPU to fit within a SFF / HTPC system, the Zotac GeForce GTX 1070 Ti is a very competent contender. The Zotac GeForce GTX 1070 Ti Mini (ZT-P10710G-10P) can be found at NewEgg.com for $449 USD.
