..with the RGB now on most GPU's I'm not sure I want to remove the fans.

Check out the Zotac GTX 1080 Arctic Storm.

RGB lighting built right into the preinstalled custom loop waterblock. ;)
Card is expected to launch somewhere next week.

Thanks, that's nice.
 
I have a VR headset and a 4K TV that I use as my PC monitor so I'm looking at cards that have at least 2 HDMI ports like the Asus Strix.
 
I've tried connecting the TV with a HDMI-displayport adaptor and yes it works but not reliably so 2 HDMI ports minimum.
 
It's the reason the DG-87 initially caught my eye.

It has 2 HDMI ports though? :p

The Zotac?
 
I've looked and the specs say: Display Outputs 3 x DisplayPort 1.4, HDMI 2.0b, DL-DVI and there are 5 ports on the back so unless that's a missprint it has just the one HDMI.
 

Hmm, the little nook on the outter most display port kinda made it look like another HDMI. :')
So you're right, its got 3 display ports. Which could also be a problem for me..
I wanted to use two cheap sidepanels which only take HDMI.
What exactly didnt work with your DP > HDMI converter?

Although the adaptor says it's 4K and does use the 3840x2160 native resolution it's forever dropping to 1080P and messing up all my settings (A reboot fixes it but it happens too often). Imagine a browser set to 4K res suddenly dropping to 1080P on a 4K TV - the horror....
 
Anyway maybe I just have a cheap or defective lead but to be honest when it comes to conections I prefer direct and not adaptors and if I can get a Strix or a Gigabyte extreme edition with 2 or 3 HDMI ports built in that suits me and the Strix does a 1070 with 2 HDMI ports that I realy like the look of (and the price).

To be honest the main reason I'm choosing to watercool is purely aesthetic and nothing to do with temperatures and with the RGB now on most GPU's I'm not sure I want to remove the fans.
 

So I am actually doing the same thing and i am curious if you are doing this for aesthetics do you plan to hard tube? cause i can tell you its not cheap LOL right now my system is going to be cooling the CPU and GPU and eventually i will add a second GPU and a 2nd radiator and my parts including all fittings/blocks/etc is close to $900 but imo its going to be worth it in the end. Have you tried EKWB's configuration on their web page, you can put in all your components the type of tubing, color of fittings and it will give a basic "Kit" recommendation for you. 

Actually I'm quite happy with soft? tubing. I have this mad scientists alchemy lab vision in my head and yes hard tubing would also look great with that but I think a little chaos with the loose soft tubing, some normal clear, some UV clear is going to look amazing.
 
Of course it may also look crap - who knows :)

@ Boleyn1895 : Yeah, 4K through HDMI wont work. :')
I wonder if you can convert DP to DVI-I 1080p with a simple cable though.
I already bought HDMI > DVI-I cables, but I guess with that card they'd be useless.
Id rather buy new 5 dollar cables than go through the mess and cost of waterblocking a GPU myself though.
 
@ vormicia : Their configurator is broken AF.
Select a card block + backplate, fittings are suddenly gone.
Select a card block alone, half the fitting colors are missing.
Select a card block alone and a random color, cant continue because it requires "extra parameters".

i only use the configurator to figure out which parts are compatible then i search for the exact parts i need in their store.
