Just remove the 2 that's not needed for the 6 pin side.

I think mine was Phanteks, had them a couple of years back but only just used them.

roysters · 1 Apr 2017 at 17:07

ohh right, so i need to order 2 of them for both inputs, didnt think of that! cheers!

I have to say, I came from 670 sli, to 980ti sli, to a single 1080ti, its amazing the difference is how smooth it is, Gsync aside, really is an amazing difference in how games feel and play compared to sli.

Yeh its great. I went from 780SLI to single 980ti and won't go back to SLI now. I've slowly been pushing my clocks and am currently at +160 and +500 which gives me 2050/6000 in game and the card isn't skipping a beat at 45c. Got to love water cooling

Never got round to posting but when you have no paper to hand... Just use your hand

Gave Zotac another go with the FE as at the time was only one in stock.

Just noticed the MSI Seahawk is £900 on OCUK, I'm assuming the EVGA hybrid will be around the same price then? Seems quite steep.

£900 - Lol what a waste of money. Just buy the FE and an EK block. Installing a waterblock is as easy as pie

personally id buy the Zotac ArticStorm and add that to my loop. Its a custom PCB not a reference one which i think the MSI Seahawk may be. Cheaper and has longer warranty.

Well coming from 2 Titan XM's to 1 1080Ti i'm very happy with the performance.

Currently running 2088 core and 5900 mem @ 41c and not had a single issue so far so will push it more today

Crappy SLI was putting me off playing games so i'm happy i decided to ditch it for a single card.

Also happy i got into custom watercooling, will never go back to AIO / Air.

Small update on my MSI Gaming X coil whine. I swapped out the PSU and it reduced a lot but it's still considerably more at load than the 1070 had sadly.

Damn, are you going to rma?

I'm not sure what my best option is. I'd hopefully just return it under DSR if I can rather than deal with MSI. The other question is whether to go for another one or wait a while for a different batch.

Your probably right to dsr rather than rma.

Wonder if they've finally reworked that Poseidon block, the previous versions were ridiculously flow restrive when adding to a loop.

I can't believe that I'm finding myself hoping, nay, begging for a card that doesn't have coil whine and I'm spending over 800 quid!

Fingers crossed mate.
