The prices are even higher in Eastern Europe... I also heard that MSI Armor series coolers are not that good. That's the reason I wanted to add it to my water loop, but sadly nobody seems to make blocks for this specific card! :(

And because no one uses reference PCB on the RX 580, you can't just grab that either D:

But yeah, that cooler would be the only reason not to go for that card. It's not the great, but should do fine on an RX 580 which doesn't get too hot when not overclocked.

Hello everyone! I found a pretty good deal on MSI Radeon RX580 Armor 8G, but since I haven't been paying attention to AMD lately (after the 3xx series I got a little annoyed by their rebadging), I'm not sure whether it's worth it or not. It usually goes for around 580 USD where I live, this one is around 270! I've heard that Gigabyte and PowerColor 580 cards had some bad memory issues, so is everything okay with this one? Also I searched a bit, but couldn't find water block compatible with this exact model. Are there any?

250 USD would be the normal price on this card, but due to cryptocurrency mining (running videocards to convert energy into digital money), the price increased massively.

270 is an okay deal at the moment. The MSI Armor coolers are not  the greatest, so don't expect to overclock a lot if anything at all.

I don't think you mean 580 USD that's like a 1080 ti.

Ops you're right, it's actually 427 usd for the cheapest one available at the moment, the 1080ti starts at ~976 usd...
