That's the model I originally wanted. Too bad these water cooled ones are always released so late.

The aio gpus should be avoided imo.

i wait for the release of the open loop version with a waterblock.
currently have liquid devil rx6800xt, but have had the 1080EK
i'm good with tools etc... but after i put a block on the Radeon VII i realized i wanted the warranty and as close to plug and play as you can get on an open loop.
almost pulled trigger on 1080 Seahawk but friend got one and it was too loud and the hoses too long for my liking.

i personally prefer aircoolers i will trade a bit lower clocks to avoid extra potential failing points (( namely the pump maybe a leak i know rare ...but still ... or even a bad batch of aio *coughs * enermax )) ...they look neat though :P

I've got a better reason why, because you need 360mm or 280mm at worse for a 300+ gpu and the pump needs to be really good too
failure to do so and you're at the fringe of air cooling, no point really
I used an AIO for the cpu until they couldn't keep up (threadripper 3960x) and once I watercooled the cpu, the gpu followed one year later because why would you want a 80°C backplate and air cooling venting 60°C+ air in your case for +20°C temp on the gpu and vram...no point
the real cost of custom loop btw aren't the blocks it's the damn fittings >< don't be fooled
p.s.
I had cpu aio for the last 15 years never had leaks or problems (just don't buy that threadripper one that creates goo into your system)

What's the point of making these vaporware releases? I mean, its already sold out. If it ever existed at all.
Why bother?

In 2008 i brought the scythe ninja 2 i used it up to 2012 on my phenom 2 720 , then my brother used it and the phenom till 2018 , in 2020 a friend of ours (college student ) her outdated core 2 duo broke down dead mb ... Poor thing had no pc for the college essays , so we pretty much gave her the whole package free (mb / phenom/ ddr2/ninja2) ... That aircooler still cools like it is day one ... Few re-pastes in between ! How many aios can claim they are working like their first day after 13 years ?
