I actually bought GTX 1070 SeaHawk X and send it back immediately, it had a ridiculous coil whine in my silent build. The second problem was the fan no where to be controlled base on the GPU temp. Other wise the card peformed well, i didn't OC it manually i only used the MSI app. My low temp was 30C and max 49-54C (depend on the fan RPM) it was running 1200RPM most of the time giving me a result of 54C. And yes it was so quite i could've hear a small coil whine even when not gaming.
If my first EVGA card dream wont happen then i will still go for the MSI instead of Gigabyte Waterforce, simply because you have to cut the fan cable in order to install a custom one which make no sense in my opinion.




So, the Waterforce fan can't be changed out unless you cut and re-wire? That's pretty stupid for a card that cost that much.
 
I wonder how loud the stock fan is.


Yah, unfortunately i can't post any Youtube link which is annoying. But serach on Youtube: GIGABYTE GTX 1080 Xtreme Gaming Waterforce - Fan test

To be fair though the person who posted the video stated when he set the fan speed at 40% the card never got over 50C.

I was about to go with SeaHawk X too, but for no apparent reason MSI delayed shipment for that model so now I have either to wait until 29 July or hope to get an Hybrid card before that day.

Actually the seahawks come with the founders pcb and it already comes overclocked. Where was the coil wine coming from? Not from the watercoolerkit right?

Looks like he bought in Romania, a place called PC Garage. According to him 40% was more than enough to keep the card cool. He was able to overclock to 2170 MHz.

i have a love hate with the gigabyte. 
 
Love: it has HDMI ports on the back of the card, for VR needs in the future. The fan control software looks to control the rad fan (evga fan control only controls card fan, rad fan is set speed).
 
Hate: cant change rad fan out
