Expensive it may seem but with a full cover block I'm guessing it can easily be plumbed into a custom water loop.

Dear lord...

 

[HoneyBadger]

How big is the rad/fan? 120? - I checked on their website

This would be phenomenal without the dragon, and the other dragon, and the small dragon, and the dragons on the box. We get it MSI, you dragon!

You're dragon it out a bit now.

I don't get it, it's an extendable AIO loop with a GTX1080 so why the price?

 

[Aa83]

To be fair, that is how you properly do an AIO watercooled GPU. It's expensive yes, but MSI and EKWB have put a full custom loop together for you, so you can see how the parts, labour, and R&D costs have made this more expensive.

i need more of a life, i did have a little chuckle at this haha

that was clawsome.


I'll get my coat.

Cheaper getting a pair of 980ti's / 1070

Why, your on fire?

Valid point, but this has better scaling

[original.wood]

what would the cost of a GTX1080 in a single watercooled loop be tho? surely more expensive than the AIO GTX unit here.

Not really, their pump and radiator isn't sufficient enough to add a CPU to the loop, it's cheaper to get everything separately that will be expandable and cool better.

Suppose you don't get a special edition backplate and block though, so it is what it is.

What you did there I SEE IT

 

[evoke888]

it come with SteelSeries Stratus XL Bluetooth Controller in the box.

i agree apart from the R&D costs. they have done this for years adding it to a gpu is not something they really need to research.

 

[Aa83]

My point is there are costs beyond putting a loop with existing parts together yourself.
