MSI To Release Five GeForce GTX 1080 Ti graphics cards two with LCS
MSI has lifted the curtain on their GeForce GTX 1080 Ti graphics cards. They are releasing the Earo, Armor, Gaming X, Sea Hawk EK and sea hawk editions. That means the lineup has two liquid cooled SKUs, one of them cooled by EK, the other by Corsair.
Next to the two Liquid cooled cards, the Gaming X (photos here) is joining the party as well as well as the more affordable Armor and Aero series cards. MSI did not release full photos just yet, but is teasing with the photo below.
Building on the monumental success of MSI’s award winning GAMING X series, the MSI GeForce® GTX 1080 Ti GAMING X 11G uses the full force of the TWIN FROZR VI cooler, allowing for higher core and memory clock speeds for increased performance in games. The famous shapes of the eye-catching TWIN FROZR cooler are intensified by a fiery red GAMING glow piercing through the cover, while the MSI GAMING dragon RGB LED on the side can be set to any of 16.8 million colors to match your mood or build. A completely new custom 10-phase PCB design using Military Class 4 components with two 8-pin power connectors enables higher overclocking performance to push your graphics card to the max. The classy matte black solid metal backplate gives the card more structural strength and provides a nice finishing touch.
TWIN FROZR VI THERMAL DESIGN
MSI's new TWIN FROZR VI Thermal Design raises the bar of Graphics Card air cooling. TORX Fan 2.0 is the enhanced version of the patented MSI TORX Fan technology which generates 22% more air pressure for better cooling performance while further reducing noise levels. Connected to the huge heatsink are up to 8mm thick copper heat pipes with a squared shape at the bottom for optimal heat transfer from the solid nickel-plated copper baseplate combined with premium thermal compound X to keep the Pascal powerhouse cool.
SEA HAWK
The MSI GeForce® GTX 1080 Ti SEA HAWK X is the result of a revolutionary partnership which combines MSI’s top-notch graphics card engineering with the popular Corsair Hydro Series liquid cooler. This ensures that the SEA HAWK stays at least as cool as it looks while providing extreme gaming performance thanks to vastly increased clock speeds out of the box.
ARMOR
Dressed in a fashionable Black & White design inspired by advanced armor shielding, the MSI GeForce® GTX 1080 Ti ARMOR 11G OC is perfect for gamers and case modders looking for something unique and different. The new ARMOR 2X Thermal Design uses the patented TORX Fan technology also found on the award winning TWIN FROZR V graphics cards and Advanced Airflow Control for enhanced cooling performance. MSI’s Zero Frozr technology stops the fans in low-load situations such as web browsing or light gaming to remain fully silent.
AERO
Sporting a sleek Black & Green look, the MSI GeForce® GTX 1080 Ti AERO 11G OC will look great in any NVIDIA build. The new AERO graphics cards feature a thermal design built around a radial fan which pushes all the heated air out of the PC via a rear exhaust, keeping the rest of your components cool.

I don't understand why is there a fan on Sea Hawk? It should be fully cooled by liquid. Seems like MSI is trying to cheap out and just slapped on basic AIO on their card without designing more custom part to cool VRM and VRAM areas with liquid. Gigabyte makes better liquid cooled cards.
