What in the world...
I know people are going to buy this, but with that cooler, why?!? If it is the fastest card on the market then the first thing enthusiasts are going to do is rip that cooler off and integrate it with their existing loop. That is an ugly brick to have hanging off your motherboard!
Don't forget the crap ton of sagging that monster will do!Quote:

Just have to add that the card is ugly as sin too, the cogs are a nice touch but it's like putting funky sprinkles on faecal matter, it's still faecal matter with sprinkles...Quote:

Bet that thing weighs a ton !
I've never broken a pcie socket and wondered why MSI makes that steel armor mods on boards .... think I can see why now.
It looks like water block components are placed on both sides. At least the brick just below fan power cord looks like water block component to me.
Do they design this stuff during office away days at Legoland, or something??!!
