MSI to Launch New Custom Version of GTX 1080 Ti - The Gaming X Trio

[RejZoR]

Is there really a need for such a ridiculously oversized cooler on GTX 1080Ti ? I have AORUS which has a really massive cooler and it's total overkill. I see no reason for them to replace existing dual fan Gaming X models. It's not like GTX 1080Ti clocks any higher with such ridiculous cooler. Because it doesn't really.

What the hell PNY, that is against EU laws. You are required to honor warranty RMA service at least for 2 years.

At least retailers give warranty to PNY cards here.

a few C difference can mean the difference between holding a higher boost bin or two.

The Aorus cooler is not even close to overkill. Infact it's far too small. I had to heavily undervolt it just so that it runs at somewhat acceptable noise levels (1300rpm) until I have enough money for a custom loop.

You can't blame fan profiles. For some retarded reason, ALL manufacturers have this weird urge to bring down temperatures way more than it's needed. I wouldn't say AORUS is loud. It's audible, but not in an annoying way. But with the temps I'm getting it could run at way lower RPM out of the box. From which the "oversized" comes. Strix was heavy, but the AORUS is even more ridiculous. This MSI is like stupendously ridiculous.

Finally, there's competition in the ridiculously large category...

Too small,next please,4 fans and atleast 10hpp inside

Don't see the point, it's not going to be any quieter than their Gaming X, it's not going to perform better, it's just going to fit in a lot less cases lol.

Two of them make a wall on the whole Mexico

Looks heavy... Not ideal for boards with no reinforced PCIe slots, which isn't enough to handle all that weight... Then again, would just get a reference or Founders Edition card & convert to water-cooling with NZXT's Kraken G12 or EKWB's Fluid Gaming A240G Kit.

Nope. I can assure you, guarantee is something that is NOT mandatory.
German law, which should be similar to general EU law states this:
There can be a guarantee by the manufacturer for its products, but it's purely a customer service thing and out of their free Will.

What is there is a two-year "warranty" (can't Google the exact words for German "Garantie" and "Gewährleistung" right now) which a customer has against the place he bought his items from. The first six months it is assumed by law, that the item was faulty from the beginning and the seller has to prove otherwise. BUT after those six months, the customer has to prove, that the fault was there from the beginning. If there is no guarantee by the manufacturer and you can't prove, that the fault in the product was there to begin with, you're out of luck.
