sorry to burst your your bubble tho:p.
But I talked to someone on chat via the online shop and the person said if you change the fan that the seahawk comes with that you will fully void the warranty.
 

I don't rely on your "hearsay".  I will believe it once I have spoken to an MSI customer service representative.  Sorry, but no bubbles have been burst.
 
Besides, he was referring to the fan on the shroud and NOT the radiator fan.  I have no intent on touching the stock fan that cools the VRMs and GDDR5X ;-)

I was reading wrong,I didnt think of the fan shroud. My bad then.I thought you meant the fan on the rad.

yep,thanks for the info:)


have you tried the fan at 100% regarding noise?
since you have the seahawk aswell.
 

No, I haven't.
 
The first thing I did was replace it with a Cougar fan and connected it to my fan controller on my case.

Got lucky and snagged an MSI GTX1080 Sea Hawk X off of Newegg while on backorder.  It arrives Wednesday.  The first thing I plan to do is replace the EVGA GTX980Ti Hybrid with the Sea Hawk and will replace the stock radiator fan with a Noctua NF-F12 industrial PPC-2000 fan.  The fan is specifically designed to have a very high static pressure specifically for radiator applications.  I already have the fan as I've been using it on the GTX980Ti Hybrid and it has been working great.  Temps never passed 56C under full load benchmarking (ambient temperature 28C).  I can only hope the temps on the Sea Hawk will be even lower ;-)

Nice!
 
My Sea Hawk hasn't gone over 52C while gaming thus far. It usually hovers around 50C for the most part. 2012 MHz stable in OC mode(MSI default). Like I mentioned earlier a changed the fan out from the radiator and this time I connected it directly to the motherboard so I can least have rpm control. I did the same with my H100i V2 cpu cooler. So, I have 3 cougar fans(CFD120) connected to my MSI motherboard and all 3 are running in Smart Mode in MSI's bios. 
 
Smart Mode seems to alter fan speed based on temperature. It has been working well thus far.
 
With it set up that way my cpu temps range from the high 40's to low 50's and my gpu is as stated above. I'm very happy with this card.
 
You should do better with the Noctua fan in my opinion.

im getting the idea that you cant change rpm of the fan manually through afterburner?
or can I use precision X on the seahawk? and rpm purposes.

MSI afterburner only controls the onboard fan and not the radiator fan. Not sure about precision X. Your motherboard bios should have some kind of fan control system.
 

Anyone know when the hybrids will be in stock? personally I'm looking for a hybrid upgrade kit that works with my FTW/FTW DT cards.

How is the seahawk btw?

It's really good. It's quiet and cool. I haven't tried to overclock it yet other than MSI's built in OC mode.
 
Looks like the Hybrid is this week folks.

Hybrid cooler is available for GTX 1080 and GTX 1070.

Edit: Sorry if this is old news. I signed up for the e-mail notification and literally got the e-mail two hours later about them being available. I don't know if they were always available and just came back in stock or just became available for the first time.

You are superduper late...they were asking about the FTW Cooler kit btw lol

Ah, I didn't know they had their own.
 
The EVGA GTX 1080 site just says "Coming soon" for the water block/hybrid. It doesn't make a distinction between the FTW and normal cards.

well this thread has a total of 36 pages....i know that no human being is gonna read all 36 pages to see where they posted the Watercooling kit for the Founders PCB lol.... xD

I skimmed some pages and just saw the word "Hybrid" a lot. :D

oh boy guys smashed my old record with the water force...

What clockspeed u got it to run on?

2164 seems sick... O.o
Dont blow it :/

I put the clocks in my signature. 

 
That's stable? No drops?

Zero drops, I know right this thing is a freaking monster. I was hesitant to push it another 13 MHZ but dang it really improved the score (3072 to 3107!!) and the temps didn't even move... I am not going to try any higher 2164 (+113 to core) seems plenty high enough, no artifacts or crashes. So I think I'll stop rolling the dice there.

good stuff.
 
i wouldn't hesitate to take it on a max run with a watercooled card. i would put the memory clocks back to stock and then OC the core clock until u see artifacts and/or driver crashes. after that, pull the clocks back to the last stable number and start OC'ing the memory from there.

Was set on getting the Titan X and getting a Hybrid kit for it later but now after seeing it's 3DMARK scores its only marginally faster than the 1080. Not to mention the NVIDIA store charges sales tax so in total a watercooled Titan X would add up to 1450$ which is just ridiculous. I'm now definitely gonna pick up two 1080 Hybrids as soon as they're in stock this week! :D
