So I'm planning to buy a 1080, an hybrid/ AIO model to be exact. Therefore it's either going to be either EVGA's Hybrid, Corsair's Sea hawk X or Gigabyte's (not likely though).



Now it's just a matter of deciding. The Corsair lands at 973 USD in Sweden (with swedish taxes) and there's no current price for EVGA's other than the 730 on the product page. So i wonder is that with any taxes or without? Also Have any of you guys been noticing coil whine on any of the cards mentioned? One guy on another forum said that he had gotten quite a lot of it from a 1070 version of the Sea hawk.
Would EVGA accept a return if their card had an unusual amount of coil whine?
Cheers,




Absolutely no coil whine with my 1080 Sea Hawk.

I am still debating whether to wait for the evga hybrid to come out in Canada, or just go ahead and get myself a Sea Hawk X. 
I love EVGA and their customer support, but I'm wondering if it's worth the wait while I do not know how the stocks will hold over here, and the avaibility/price of the Sea Hawk X is quite reasonable.
 
Petmic10, if you don't mind me asking, how do you find the Sea Hawk X when it comes to it's max temp under load? I've heard stories, when comparing the 980ti version of the Sea Hawk X to the EVGA Hybrid, that it wasn't as good as the Hybrid in keeping the temp down under load (by almost a 10 degree celsius difference). Do you think they made the 1080 version of the Sea Hawk X better this time around?

i'd say get any of those who come in store. They will perform the same

I would have gone with Sea Hawk X by far if only it was available on EU. Since 15 June it never went in-stock for shops and online stores which ships to Italy. MSI keeps delaying the shipment of these cards... I just can't understand why.

I have absolutely no complaints regarding my Sea Hawk. I think I said it earlier in this thread, when I first got the card the temperature hovered around 50C while gaming and the highest it's gone has been 52C. Keep in mind I had my radiator fan rpm set to about 800 rpm(which is about 50% fan speed) to get these temps. Yesterday, as a test I bumped the rpm up to 1000rpm and the temps dropped by 2 to 3 degrees Celsius while still remaining quiet. Also, it's the middle of summer and normally my room temps are about 26C(79F). Yesterday with the AC on and room temps about 21C(70F) I was playing Fallout 4 at 1440p and the gpu temps didn't move from the mid 40's. Very impressive.
 
I can't compare it to last years model because I never had one but anytime your gaming, 1440p in my case, and temps stay in the 40's it's a win.

Then I believe I'll go the Sea Hawk X route, thank you all for your answers.
