Actually I just corrected pricing, the pre-order was like way over the top. prices settle at € 629,- / 599 USD.

I must have a bad sample. The cooler was anywhere from silent. I found it to be incredibly noisy, even with a more decent fan profile.
Also, the temperatures were nowhere near the results in this test. When I ran a 100% load scenario for half an hour, the temps would stabilize at around 76°C. And then the fan would be clearly audible @60-70%.
If I would lower the fan speeds, temps would rise FAST and if I'd get an higher fan speeds (90-100%) the temps would drop to very decent levels again, so it wasn't that the cooler wasn't making contact. But the pc would lift of the ground because of the jet engine that was in it.
There's an Arctic accelero III on it now, even though I had to remove the extra hdmi slot at the back to make it fit. Now it's truly silent and temps stay below 64°C at all times (can't recommend anyone from going this route btw! Because I had to remove the hdmi port, my warranty is probably as void as void can be....)

At this price 1080 doesn't make sense any more, unless it costs around $400. For $80 more one can get Ti version.
