Im not sure which one to buy(2 actually for sli) but they have the exact same price on amazon right now and both have good reviews, i need it solely for gaming with a 7700k. I wont be overclocking the gpus yet, so temp wont be my main priority, i heard some news about the evga not having the thermal pads applied properly so they overheat fast which is what i'm worried about. does anyone have any suggestions?Btw, both are hybrid gpus that are connected to 120 size fans and have exceptional cooling.

**will be buying parts in the us

well ?? heres my beef I got a evga hybrid 900 series and as soon as evga released the 10series cards they stoped selling the 900 cards hybrid kit and will not gurentee the 10 series kit pump will work on a 900 card . I was told I do that at my own risk , so if my pump fails I'm SOL with evga for any replacement

now the corsair/MSi seahawk cards use the h55 cooler and you can buy it today all day cheap at like newegg ..

so if your seahawk cards pump was to go out and not covered under warrantee for any reason all you got to do it seems go to newegg and spend 60 bucks and replace it

evga you scab something on it and hope it works out or buy a new card . I like my hybrid but seems you cant depend on evga to keep it going if needed to if it was to fail

i'll assume they will do the same for the 10 series pumps as soon as they can get away with it down the road

I guess looking back and seen evga was not going to long term support there pump units I would of went with a seahawk on that and knowing there using the corsair h55 that easy to find and buy cheap if I need a replacement

performance may be just nit picking between them overall

I would wait until the non reference cooled 1080ti's are released and get that over the 1070's. Less money and no SLI support hassles. SLI really only makes sense when the single fastest card available isn't fast enough.
