Will msi release a "super duper" edition custom cooler soon? It would go well next to the "Killer" Ethernet adapter.

I'm honestly putting water on it asap so I don't care what shroud is on it so I could technically save $100 to go towards water cooling. However I'm impatient and apparently only reference models or "founders edition" will be available on the may 27th idk when the aftermarket cards will release so I'm just going to jump the gun get the reference and save up for water cooling.
