Although EVGA Bucks can't be redeemed for real money, they do have a equivalent value of 1 USD or 1 Euro within the EVGA online store. Thus, by being one of the first to register your serial number at EVGA.com, you could take away a GTX 1080 Ti, or a couple of GTX 1070 TI's, or almost whatever else takes your fancy.
The Asymmetric Cooling System, known as ACS and ACS2, were early versions of GPU coolers with a directed hot air exhaust flow AKA 'Blower', before the advent of more elaborate OTES designs. Fans were offset from a GPU, and air was driven through heatsink fins in a more compact but still familiar methodology. The second iteration utilised heatpipes to transport heat from additional components, clearing indicating the direction the technology was going towards both larger heatsinks and active cooling of more critical zones.
