I would love to see Linus do a review of this. Loving the uber powerful, and unique systems that Linus has been doing right now (oil cooled PC, and the 63:9 curved LG rig). Would love to see another video with a rig for that cooling system (and well frankly those GPUs too).

Indeed. The forums were pretty negative about the 8GB R9 290X, but Linus seemed to be fine with it. I'd be interesting to see what Master Linus has to enlighten us with.

This looks stupid.

 

Also, what about people with cases without ODD?

Yuck.

 

Notice they are individual RAD's for each card, why can't they just release a single card version of this without the GIANT ugly box on top.

Makes no sense.

 

I get they want to keep each card as cool as possible, and didn't go with a single loop, but this is just crazy..

No one with that sort of cash will buy this, they will go a custom more stylish loop.

 

Here's a tip to Gigabyte, MAKE A SINGLE CARD WITH A SINGLE RAD.

 

A least you'll be able to hear the coil whine/buzz better... ;)

WTF, Its a mix of retarded, cheap and stupid. It doesnt look good, and wouldn't a 360mm rad be better??

I would think Gigabyte knew what they where doing. But companies do make mistakes.

They made this decision for understandable reasons but that makes it just like sticking 3 gpu's with G10's on them with a fancy box on top.

I'd like to see this make way for more AIO multiple GPU coolers. Custom loops are fun but I like the simplicity of AIOs.

Except it actually gets more complex and inefficient rather quickly since everything has its own block, pump, res, and rad. Then all the tubing has to go somewhere as well as all the individual little rads.

What I'd like to see is gigabyte and other gpu manufacturer partner up with EK and just buy a gpu with a great waterblock already installed.

 

Not this gimmicky garbage.

well, hard to say anything about such monstrosity, looks like a Frankenstein to me, or a tumor that grew on Your computer case... well I don't like it... and again You have to unplug the tubes to route them through  5 1/4' bay, so You have to fill the loop by Yourself, well, that kills the whole idea of "maintenance free, all in one rig"... sorry Gigabyte, I love Your products, but this is just stupid...

 

 

correction, You have to fill three loops, the whole idea doesn't make any sense to me...

we are eternal, all this pain is an illusion...

This is super lame. I guess it's just for lazy people with lots of money that don't want to build a custom loop. It ruins the aesthetic of lots of cases and the ones that match the looks probably don't have flat tops for it to sit on.

Well the idea will come handy for some people but the overall design/aesthetics is just to plain bad. Not really appealing like their Cases out on the market, either way.

Well it looks cool in all of it's huge flashy glory.  That's all I got for it though.  Wish they had put some thought into actually creating new technology instead of creating a box and controller for old tech.

wh...what...what the hell?

I would love to know the thought process when they designed this thing.

I gotta say this isn't the most logical idea here. It's interesting, but won't sell well, and I certainly wouldn't have the money for it!
