MSI GeForce GTX 580 HydroGen OC Priced
MSI's high-end GeForce GTX 580 graphics card that's ready for water-cooling out of the box, the MSI N580GTX HydroGen OC, released in the European retail market, priced at €563. The N580GTX HydroGen uses the same full-coverage water-block as the N480GTX HydroGen, probably sourced from Heatkiller. The block uses a full copper base and composite metal top. It is ready for G 1/4" threads. The card comes slightly overclocked out of the box, but with the kind of cooling at its disposal, it leaves the fun part to you. The GPU is clocked at 823 MHz, CUDA cores at 1645 MHz, and memory at 4276 MHz, against reference speeds of 772/1544/4008 MHz.

Says 480 but also works on 580.
The point, moreover, is that MSI themselves call it a single-slot design, yet don't fit a single backplate to it.
Curiouser and curiouser..
Even my current card (HD5850) has that. The glue is hard and cracks when you remove the screw..
Again, it's besides the point. Why market this as single slot, but not include a single-slot backplate?
i like the way they match it
