You know you could at least link to a source or show a picture so people wont think it is a Kraken G10 copy.

What is great about this is that it does not limit you to the Asetek coolers like the NZXT bracket does so you can use your CoolIT rebranded coolers (H80, H100, H60, H80i H100i). It only takes up 2 slots where as the Kraken G10 takes up about 3 slots.

What sucks about this is that it is only for reference cards and each plate must be customized per card model. You will also have to remove the mid plate if your GPU have one and reuse the stock blower fan. So unless Corsair decides to make one for your reference model card you are basically SOL. Not to mentionthe refrence model cards fly off the shelves because those are the cards that gamers use since most waterblocks for open loop liquid cooling are made for refrence cards.

Most likely they will only target the latest higher end cards too (R9 290 / 290X GTX Titan, 780 Ti, 780 and 770) where as the NZXT Kraken G10 has a much wider compatibility.

Interesting. I would like to see a review on these once they are released.

Would be cool to see an SLI or crossfire edition for people with two-card setups.

What's the chance these would be compatible with a GTX 670 FTW?

Slim to none unless Corsair thinks there is a profit to be made with an outdated GPU. They have to custom make the plate to fit the 670 FTW. Also your card must be the 670 FTW that have a single stock blower fan, not a model with dual fans.

Here is a video that digs down more into the details of the cooler

Yeah, it has a blower. The reason I mentioned FTW edition is because it is built on a 680 PCB. The 680 PCB doesn't have any of the same mounting that the 700 series does?
