Overclockers have really yanked the price up on this to an eye watering £899.99..Ouch.
Scan on the other hand are more realistic at £829.49. That's still £200+ over a founders edition. The prices are out of control.
If and when I get a 1080 It seems the best option (for me at least) is to find one of the cheaper 1080 cards and slap an EK water block on it.

Again a great product from Msi.I really dig this one.
The cards tempratures are astonishing low in idle and full load.And above all she is a beauty
.
Thx Hilbert for the great review.
i'm puzzled why MSI insists on having a fan on GPU. Gigabyte's hybrid 1080 is fully cooled by AIO, no extra fans.

Am I missing the point of the Seahawk for a 10 series card? Isn't it pre-water cooled to get a great overclock? These cards don't overclock past the Pascal wall so why go overboard on the cooling? Placebo?
Are we depending on a tweaked bios or something to make this worth it?
Don't get me wrong, it's a cool piece of kit, nonetheless.

not placebo. pascal starts throttling at above 50C in steps, so if you can keep it under 50C, and you can with hybrid cards, you'll have higher and more stable core clock, as confirmed by this review, too.
