Gigabyte Presents GeForce GTX 980 WaterForce Tri-SLI Kit - Water Cooling + 3x 980 GPU Kit Like You Have Never Seen Before

Even if I buy one I won't be able to use it because of my case (Phanteks Enthoo Primo) which has a door you need to open in order to access them cd drives and etc.

IS it bad that I want this?

Hmm, I still prefer building custom loops, but this should bring more people into the water cooling realm.

Yup cause everyones always saying I don't want a custom loop but I definitely need 3 980's in sli :P

Finally my Santa hat doesn't look out of place

For such a large box, only a slim 120mm radiator per card seems a bit underwhelming...

I think it's neat that the idea of all-in-one liquid cooling is showing up in graphics cards. I know a lot of people would be nervous about taking apart their graphics cards to install those custom water blocks, so having them pre-installed gives them a great alternative. But this big box thing looks pretty dumb. The cards sure do look nice though.

Are the blocks removable so it can support different graphics cards? Or do you have to change like the whole thing?

As a concept it's freaking awesome, but practically it's not so good haha. It does really look like a barbeque as someone else pointed out!
I still wouldn't kick 3 of those 980's out of my bed though :lol:

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.

This is exactly what EVGA does with their hydrocopper and what ASUS did with their ARIES III.

I'm glad to see EVGA doing it with several of there cards, but ASUS only has the one. 

 

I just think it would be great if everybody was doing what EVGA is doing. Or better yet have EK, Bitspower or Alphacool start selling GPUs with waterblocks mounted with the manufacturers warranty.

Downside is that you don't have the option to go now water cooled for test and it the same price as adding your own block if not more. Also on evga cards you don't void the warranty by removing the cooler.

All I am saying is other companies should look at doing what EVGA is doing and copy them. Of Course there are drawbacks and downsides, but I think what EVGA has done is a lot better than the gigabyte octopus.

Thats kinda crazy, also wouldn't a 360mm rad have been more efficient?

maybe these are 3 seperate loops

It looks pretty as all hell but to be perfectly honest i dont see great performance coming out of such a setup.. i agree that a 360mm rad may have been a better choice in this scenario
