ASUS 1070 strix vs MSI 1070 seahawk

This is gonna go inside a cooler master maker 5 and on a AORUS gaming K7 and i dont know which one would be better. Ps i live in a place where 80°F+ is normal and can reach the 100s

both should be totally fine.

the Seahawk will probably run cooler, but if it's significantly more expensive, the STRIX is just fine.

(plus, it won't be 100F in your house, right?)

 

I'd personally wait for VEGA to release, which will probably offer much more performance for the same price with the VEGA CORE

Time to make this thread back to the track, i personally say the Seahawk is cooler than Strix and i am fine with the radiator that is attached on it. Also i do not like the strix because it is long, i do not like long cards

2 very different cards but both very good in there own right. the Strixx has its own Custom PCB and the Sea Hawk is a reference PCB with a AIO strapped to it. Both will probably hit the same OC's but the Sea Hawk will maintain a more constant spped due to GPU boost 3.0 not having to really worry about thermalls.

Since @Ordinarily_Greater Has called me, I must awaken from my slumbers and respond: STRIX looks awesome, but the Seahawk has a cooler name, a cooler cooler, and uses Corsair's cool fans and AIO.

Sea Hawk is cool but do you really need to watercool a 1070? Unless your system has terribad airflow I'd get the Strix and not risk an eventual pump failure.

Since I looked upon this thread, I shall reply. Go Seahawk if you have a fully tempered glass case fo it wont be hot. Trust me, a fully tempered glass case gains heat much faster and doesn't dissipate hea quickly.
