One of the hybrid liquid cooling solutions quite a few of you have been waiting on is the MSI GeForce GTX 1080 Ti and 1080 Ti X Sea Hawk. These puppies come with a liquid block on the GPU and active cooling (blower) over the VRM.
The Sea Hawk will cool the card (typically a reference board) with an AIO cooler based on the Corsair Hydro 55 thermal cooler. Then a low RPM blower style cooler will take care of other components like the VRM area and memory. The MSI will release the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti SEA HAWK and the X model, both a result of a partnership with the popular Corsair Hydro Series liquid cooler. The SEA HAWK stays at least as cool as it looks while providing extreme gaming performance thanks to vastly increased clock speeds out of the box. The specs will be as follows:
MSI GTX GeForce 1080 Ti Sea Hawk:
- Base clock: 1493 MHz
- Turbo clock: 1607 MHz
- Memory clock: 11 Gbps
MSI GTX GeForce 1080 Ti X Sea Hawk (stock tweaked version):
- Base clock: 1544 MHz
- Turbo clock: 1657 MHz
- Memory clock: 11.1 Gbps
