I just snagged a Seahawk from Newegg.

Same. Just grabbed my second one for SLI.
I've put the first one through it's paces, dead silent versus the rest of an already quiet case. No whine or pump gurgling. Never got over 58c, even after 3 hours online.
Crushed DiRT Rally on the Oculus at High settings. Maxed out BF4 in 4k is averaging 130 fps even during very competitive moments.
Can't wait to see what it does in SLI. Now if only those pesky HB 80mm bridges were in stock....Then I could cover that lit MSI logo and get my total EVGA/Corsair Fang-Shooey back.






Nice system.
 
Nice to hear the Sea Hawk is quiet. I too like my case to be on the quiet side.

One pointer, you want to turn the rear radiator the other way around so the tubes are coming out of the bottom. I've mounted an AIO cooler not quite the right way before myself and it caused micro bubbles to wind up in the pump and cause a lot of noise. It also makes the pump work harder. If you put the tubes at the bottom, gravity means the pump isn't 'pulling' the water all the way up the radiator and also means any micro bubbles forming will end up at the top of the radiator and wont be in danger of getting circulated down the tube and ending up in the pump.
 
Here's a recent GamersNexus video where he talks about this and shows the best way to do it: 
 
:EDIT: well it wont let me post a youtube link, the video title is "Ask GN 23: RX 490 Talk, GPU Power %, Driver Performance" and  the relevant part is about 8 minutes 40 secs.

Actually it was available a week ago and still does, but now it cost 30$ more 1070 Sea Hawk X (730$) I may pay more in order to avoid waiting 4 more days :3

And yes 1070 in Sweden is the price of 1080 in the US, soooo fkinnn expensive.

Well if it makes you feel any better the msi 1070 seahawk costs 800 bucks here and if i order the 1080 from amazon for 749.99 and paying an extra 100 to forward it to my island would be around 850 bucks....win win right?

This is the big week guys!
 
I'm not scheduled to get my Sea Hawk until Thursday. Newegg shipped from CA and I'm on the east coast. In my haste to place my order I must have chosen the default saver shipping. Oh well I waited this long what's a few more days.
