Well here is the review for that crazy thing that gigabyte made.

 

 

Edit:

 

If you want that crazy thing its $2999.99 on Newegg.com

Could possibly be the ugliest thing i've ever seen.

That's what happens when you take CLCs too far. I don't know, if it was an internal radiator and there were just 2 GPUs I'd be okay with it.

Even the waterblocks look awful. The god damn tubing as well, why would people buy this.

If it works fine then I wouldn't care about an ugly waterblock or tubing, it's the external radiator box that kills it for me.

The tubing is way too long to hide, the waterblocks have this kind of mesh BS and the external box the external god damn box it's like putting a turd on the top of your PC.

If the radiator was internal the tubing wouldn't have to be so long, I couldn't care less about the look of the waterblock tbh.

But for the same price you could get your own better looking water blocks, Gigabyte dun fucked this up, They could of just made an Ares iii clone with individual cards rather then a dual card.

[Lays]

I don't understand this at all.

[ClakeyD]

This is necessary.

 

Yea...

[Jumper118]

if it was like he said at the end and they were just single card with a 120 rad, then i think they would sell well. the tubing is disgusting though.........

[WereCat]

Holy balls. What is this

I mean.. people who like very flashy things may be the only people who may want this (but only the rich ones). Therefore less than 1%.

[Octagoncow]

This is going to crash and burn. I wish I knew what Gigabyte was thinking.

[zacRupnow]

Just WTF were they doing by making this?

[Mattr567]

This is just dumb. What were they thinking?

[zacRupnow]

This deserves the Facepalm of all facepalms.

[Real_PhillBert]

*Snip*

Mother of god, that made my internet hurt.

[deadbc77]

I feel sorry for Gigabyte.....why would they do that?

[Horrorfull]

What in the. How? Why?

 

Price is pretty reasonable.

Mother of god, that made my internet hurt.

sorry, the ultimate facepalm was necessary.

[Real_PhillBert]

sorry, the ultimate facepalm was necessary.

It was impressive I will give you that.

[BiG StroOnZ]

I agree if Gigabyte launched this as a single GPU card, attached to a standard 120mm radiator setup similar to the 295x2, this would be a much better product (as stated in the Video)

[Priller]

I dont think Newegg has sold any of them.

[Real_PhillBert]

Eww.

[Derangel]

This really seems like one of those "we made it because we could" products and for that I fully support it's existence. Gigabyte probably only made a small number of these knowing not many would sell. Not only would I never consider triple SLI but I'd never buy a crazy as CLC like this, not to mention for 3 grand I could build a bad ass SLI watercooling set up with money to spare.
