Screw it, I just put in an order for the MSI Seahawk

you will enjoy.....I was playing fallout 4 on 1080 resolution solid 59.9-60 fps.  Heat was unbelievable 32C, that 89.6F.  Radiator at 30%, I dont hear it at all.  30% is default.
IF I am not lazy, i play on the center 4K monitor.

I gave up on the hybrid for a little while now, and am enjoying my ftw but not so much with the noise when its at load. I cant believe evga still hasn't released the hybrid. I hope when its finally out they have a drawing on this forums for a free one to all who waited so long just to go somewhere else or a different card.
 
I guess ill be waiting on the kit to release. yippy *soon-tm*

My build is also waiting for the hybrid-kit... But only for the looks of it and because I want that 50-100 extra MHz that come with lower temperatures, I start to slightly hear the card at 69% and set it up that it never passes 71% :> Got time until Christmas, my wallet needs to cool down a bit for now xD We should be able to get a hybrid kit by than, even here in Europe xD

U know i am thinking the same thing...Buying a hybrid kit swap it with and enjoy the low temps and higher mhz .-.
im still thinking...Also wanted to replace my 2600k to kabylake ones its released too so idk what ima do in december lol

Just a heads up to people getting MSI Seahawk the power limit on those only go up to 105%

Power limit is actually important when watercooling. I've heard this from a couple of people who have actually compared both first hand.

Power limit is important and the Seahawk is only 105% with only 1 8 pin power connector but I'm getting to 2012MHz in MSI's default OC mode. I haven't tried to overclock it yet but I have to think it can go higher if I pushed it a little.
 
Here is Guru3d review of the Seahawk.

Overclocked to 2151MHz core clock and 11404 memory clock

Conclusion: The card is a beast and all u need is 1x8 lol

I wouldn't go by review samples they always get best. You get lower quality chip you can fall victim to limited power. This is what one person on reddit is complaining about downclocking with only 50c temps ATM

What does that have to do with what we are talking about. EVGA SC has higher boost than seahawk and has 120 power limit.

That when overclocking both the seahawk and the SC can reach around the same mhz ones overclocked even with the powerlimit of 105 or having more than 1x8?
