Ooo I like the integrated flow meter ! that's cool, gives you something to actually see once the bubbles are gone

They will probably no longer team up with MSI and they will make there own AIO card now. Then also have this card as the EVGA equal for the custom block cards

What? That would require Corsair to manufacture their own graphics cards. Would be easier for them to expand their partnership with MSI. Would be a big move for Corsair to make their own graphics cards.

No. They just get the reference PCB get a simple plastic box with a hole and then an AIO. Not that much of an undertaking

They still need a partner to manufacture said reference PCBs. Corsair doesn't own those facilities themselves. You are talking as if Nvidia sold all reference PCBs themselves, they don't. Corsair's full systems use MSI-made motherboards and GPUs.

Breaking away from MSI would move them away from creating their full systems with MSI hardware. The smart decision is to stick with MSI and try to be their water cooling partner for their MSI Sea Hawk full block GPUs. Notice that MSI has not revealed an RTX series graphics card with a full-cover water block yet.

If Corsair wanted to make their own graphics cards, they would need a manufacturing partner. It would be easier to continue working with MSI, rather than try to build their own PCBs or forge a new partnership with another manufacturer.
