Over the last 30 years, MSI has reached multiple milestones that shows our profession and enthusiasm on technology innovation. As time goes by, our passion for continuous innovation has remain unchanged, MSI is still devoted to providing MSI users a stable, silent GAMING performance.

no doubt about performance and quality of EK water blocks, rads (and misc)... but there should be no doubt about a hefty premium in price, I would bet that even a +200-300$ over overpriced gtx 1080 sea hawk x should be expectedmeans)

I wish I can purchase that AIO without card itself. I think this system works on the new TITAN X better than 1080.

It's a complete aftermarket solution so a 200-250$ premium would make it a sweet deal. Although I would like to see that Rad/Pump combo for sale as standalone unit for Liquid cooling builds as it certainly would help in saving space in case.

There ya go, pump on the radiator so a nice sleek waterblock on the card itself, very nice.
Too bad they did not sacrifice that extra port and made it a single slot card though.

That would be pretty expensive. In theory you could just buy EKs titan X full cover block and cheapest EKs predator cpu AIO and do plumbing and refill the unit. If my memory is not deceiving me, EKs warranty even covers that.

Looks fantastic but like many 1080's will be priced atrociously and guess what - will over clock the same as sub £600 card

I said over gtx 1080 sea hawk x (not over the cheapest gtx 1080)... newegggtx1080seahawk
for that money (add another 200-300$) you can not only buy gtx 1080 with custom loop (and block of course), but almost make it double.

Get rid of the DVI-D and make it a single slot. Who's buying a watercooled GTX 1080 and using DVI-D? Beautiful card though, if you're going to sell an AIO this is the way to do it.

This is very new. I've asked them about it when first Predator AiO came out and they said they don't have plans for it. Obviously they do now hehe :) I just have to check if I can fit it into my mounting point between cages.
