Thanks.

Do you have any links for the watercooling for the 240 case only I've struggled to find anything in the past? I've not really looked into it for a while TBH as I thought the lack of space may be a problem.

There's a really tidy hardline one here:

And another here (although not a fan of white builds):

http://forum.corsair.com/v3/showthread.php?t=135683

Which look to use an EK res/pump combo DDC PWM (prob the 100 looking at the size of the res). You can fit a fair old amount in the 240 - you should (although you'd have to have a workout with ram height and the top vent vs slim rads and fans) be able to fit 2x240 rads in there. I've built a mitx wc build in a Fractal Nano S (bit of a rip-off of Pauls one, have re-done the tubing as was in a rush haha), and although tight, works well:
Can't seem to upload iages, so's here:

might be worth a quick webnote, but im sure they are sold Stock with Air coolers one, and then replace and do it themselves. Again Gigabyte dont mind in such waterblocks going on, so for RMA OCUK wise im sure air cooler would be included and they'll strip it down for any RMA. but again best to check

Many thanks.

I wouldn't even have a clue where to begin installing such a thing!!

I could pull up the full list of components when I purchased the PC from Scan should anyone be able to suggest whether it can be done?

I'm looking at picking up an FE model. Can someone who already owns one provide some feedback on the noise and temps? Previously I've had the GTX Titan Reference cards and the noise wasn't great but it wasn't a game changer. Just wondering if the new FE models have improved?

After a weekend of hammering ME:A I'm surprised how well it runs on this card especially with the overkill requirements they released, with everything on ultra @ 3440x1440 it's between 75 - 100 fps it could probably go higher but it's capped.

MSI GeForce GTX 1080 TI ARMOR 11GB Video Card is on sale and in stock in the US

So it wont be long now for us i think

Great to hear thanks. Starting to get excited again now :)

I wouldn't wanna pee on anyone's bonfire, but I wouldn't wanna risk buying anything from MSI. Sounds like their customer service is a shambles at the moment. I cancelled my order and ordered the Asus but may even cancel that for the EVGA.

They are very good when it comes to CS and the fact you deal with the retailer makes it easier. It was said that buying a MSI GPU from OcUK would allow you to remove the cooler and put it under water but like any other GPU manufacturer, you break it, you pay for it and it is that simple. I have no issues at all buying from MSI.

Same here! I've had nothing but MSI cards and they've been absolutely perfect!

I think things might of changed since you bought your last MSI card. Customer support seems awful at the moment with two support tickets unanswered (14 days and counting), telephone help line tells you to raise a support ticket. Even gibbo mentioned he wasn't sure what was going on with MSI at the moment.

I also contacted ocuk about the warranty void sticker and was told if it was removed it was warranty void so I couldn't take off the cooler and add a water block.

I ended up returning the MSI 1080ti back to ocuk and went for an EVGA.

I can confirm this what razor time is saying I eventually got a reply from them and then said I had to get in contact with someone else at msi which in turn told me to get in touch with ocuk which in turn said I would need to get back in touch with msi.
I do believe things have changed at msi as I had 290's and they said it was ok but that was 3 years ago when their CS was pretty decent.
