MSI GTX 1080 TI Seahawk X 11GB - Watercooled

[Martin Lomax]

Hello, I have came to look advice, Does anyone have any information regarding this GPU?

I have the opportunity to pick one up for £600 on Saturday, and whilst adding it into pcpartpicker doesn't throw up any issues with my build, I'd be grateful if someone could look it over and double check I am not making a mistake.


Ignore the BenQ monitor, I have a additional monitor i plan on using.

I have found the card specs online, and from their website it states that the cooler dimension is
https://gyazo.com/6c1d630d197d52f782b5709692c4e049

"Cooler: 151 x 120 x 52 mm"

Unfortunately that just wont fit next to the power supply

Understood, So I am unfortunately best off not picking this card up, and instead purchasing a air cooled card for the time being, and possible upgrading the case at a later date to provide more room, it says on the website about a side fan, area but I am unable to find it whilst looking inside the system, their is a front fan, but thiis is slotted very close to the ssd/ hd bays

The side fan will be on the side panel itself but it will not fit on as it will push against the GPU when the side panel goes on, as for the front fan that is a big no. Unfortunatley an air cooled card is the only way to go, however air cooled cards are very good these days and can actually be alot quieter than liquid cooled cards.

Thank you, Ill go back to looking for a card, I am most likely looking towards the Asus Strix,OC edition, will that one be suitable? Many thanks

Yes that will be suitable
