Oh deary me, that is hideous.

 

[MSIRawZ]

Sexyest thing I've seen in a long time.

Oh deary me, that is hideous.

Don't actually mind this. The side of the card you'll actually see is pretty nice.
I wonder if this cooling solution means a 120 or 140mm predator in the works? It's pretty much exactly that.

edit - I looked at it again and I think the black lines make an M for MSI on the other side of the plate. Now it makes more sense.

 

[Kushiro]

I hope those are removable. Then again I doubt the 1080 needs more than a 120 to stay cool enough.

 

[Greenback]

Sexyest thing I've seen in a long time.

You should probably get out more then

 

[Doomslayer]

Oh deary me, that is hideous.

I agree

IMO the only thing looks good on it is the Rad & Fan

I don't mind the look of this sure it's not the prettiest on the market but it's not the ugliest either

 

[AngryGoldfish]

I think it looks pretty good.

I'm waiting for EKWB to release a dedicated closed loop cooler for full cover GPU's. That would be epic.

 

[AlienALX]

Like.

 

[Kushiro]

Geez at this rate MSI might as well release a darth vadar version... Then again if they screw that up, they gonna get a lot more flame.

Might actually bring in a few more sales.

 

[Doomslayer]

lolwhat

I have changed my mind i don't like it at all cause of the stupid dragon on the rad.

Why couldn't MSI have just release this without the Dragon on it just do something plain oh that right this is MSI were talking about, MSI never does anything plain.

 

[Excalabur50]

So I have a buyer for my 980ti's buuuttt he wont have the money till he finishes a contract, and since nvidia dont sell to Oz eg Titan, my missus has said I can get one of these if they come out before my mate is ready
So what do you recon will this be a viable alternative for me? I think it will but I love getting outside opinions before buying and I think this will be better than the seahawk edition seeing as it's a full cover water block
Ok then fire away yea or nea
And thanks

Surely if they're working with EKWB that'd be the Darth Vardar version?

Damn that always gets me. Always miss that r.

 

[Dawelio]
