The MSI GTX 980Ti SEA HAWK utilizes the popular Corsair H55 closed loop liquid-cooling solution. The micro-fin copper base takes care of an efficient heat transfer to the high-speed circulation pump. The low-profile aluminum radiator is easy to install and equipped with a super silent 120 mm fan with variable speeds based on the GPU temperature. However, to get the best performance, the memory and VRM need top-notch cooling as well. Therefore, the GTX 980Ti SEA HAWK is armed with a ball-bearing radial fan and a custom shroud design to ensure the best cooling performance for all components.

Scheduled for October release in the USA. MSRP: $739.99

One more Hybrid card looks good and the Corsair H55 is a not a bad little pump and easy to swap out if it packs up. Just comes down to price now.

The H55 is no doubt a very capable entry level AIO cooler, but funny how MSI said they are bringing the "best" Corsair liquid cooling to the their 980Ti HAWK :p

But with USA. MSRP: $739.99, I guess it will be around £700-£730? I think people would probably prefer (if it was an option) if Corsair release the mounting bracket at the usual £30, and get the H55 AIO themselves for £45-£55, that will still work out under £600 with the reference 980Ti...

Or may be just grab this instead?

Yes the Inno3D GeForce GTX 980Ti Hybrid Black is going to be better option just on price alone. I would not be surprised if it is the same company making the pump.
 
You could do this yourself with a good value reference card plus a corsair h55 and a corsair n980 bracket ( if they've released it yet?).
I've just done it with one of my 780Tis using a h55 and a corsair n780 bracket. It looks very similar to the MSI card and shroud, which isn't surprising as its corsair based.

Oh, and it works brilliantly! Doesn't go over 55 degrees now. Going to get another set for my other Ti.

If you get an MSI gaming 6 you can keep the backplate and vrm cooling and just remove the main hsf, 4 bolts! I've done this on both of mine with h55s and kraken G10s, very easy to do.
 
Given the Inno3D I think they might be a bit late to the party here. It's never going to be a cheap option and I doubt the performance will be that much different.

thats cheap, but id still add the extra for the evga, as it looks better, has better warranty and is easier to do stuff with as more people have them so if you wanted to mod the bios etc theres probs something out there for it

:)
 
Liking that hybrid cooling is getting more and more popular, good to see MSI jumping on board. Loving this Inno3D Hybrid Black, 1400MHz boost at stock and temps around 52C full load :D

Def going hybrid with Nvidia Pascal or with hybrid whatever AMD rebrand next year :P
 
Can board partners come up with an X2 card (like thePowerColor Devil 13) ?
Because that's where hybrid cooling shines and a nice dual card with a 140mm rad would be great.
But probably Nvidia is waiting for this November for something like that, since there is still a "long" wait until Pascal.
