Looks interesting with an integrated aio under the shroud with no additional tubes or radiator to place in your case . Price should be fun.

FE 2080 Ti + Waterblock = Job done.

Missing the point slightly. This is obviously for people who don't want to go through having to do a custom loop. If anything it having an aio under the shroud makes it a bit interesting.

The only interesting thing about it is how much Asus will try and charge for it.

Cooling performance for me is more interesting, having the aio integrated into the shroud is a bit different from what past cards have done. The big complaint with cards with an aio has always been the tubing, its either too long, too short or too rigid. And if none of those are issues the last one that remains is it usually looks a bit untidy to say the least. This seems to be an attempt to put those concerns to bed, i'm just interested in seeing the cooling performance on what is known to be a hot running core, then future products could also possibly make use of it.

Price is going to be hilariously bad as is ALWAYS the case with asus cards, they really need a reality check in that department.

Im not sure I get it. All the down sides of an AIO (pump noise, pump reliability, leak risk) without the ability to exhaust the heat directly out the case like a traditional AIO cooled card.

Unless the cooling is amazing over a triple slot cooler (which are pretty capable) it's just added expense and complexity.

Have to wait for reviews i suppose as the price is gonna be lulz worthy. At the least its an interesting idea to get rid of the aio pipe clutter, though i'm doubting thermal performance will be as good.
