Ooh, sexy ! Some photos surfaced on an EK edition of the GeForce GTX 1080. Basically the product is fitted with some EK loving that you can add into your custom liquid cooling loop.

MSI is proud to announce an expansion in the GAMING graphics card line up with the MSI GeForce GTX 1080 SEA HAWK EK X and MSI GeForce 1070 SEA HAWK EK X. Based on the new NVIDIA GeForce GTX 10 series, the graphic cards are equipped with an EK high performance full cover water block to fulfill the demands of extreme performance. This ground breaking partnership which spawned the MSI GeForce GTX 1080 SEA HAWK EK X and MSI GeForce GTX 1070 SEA HAWK EK X is the next step towards an even better gaming experience. These graphics cards combine MSI's top-notch graphics card engineering with the dominant water cooling expertise by EK. The supreme liquid cooling performance guarantees a stable, silent GAMING experience.

Looking for some DIY fun? The SEA HAWK EK X comes with a pre-installed water block out of the box.

Nice, but sure as hell MSI will make you bleed for the price of one of these.

Well, MSI is asking more than an insane €1000 for the hybrid version, so this one will probably be the same or more, considering the niche.

Probably cheaper to get a founders/reference edition and doing it yourself.
