We have not seen MSI venture to water cooled cards before and the 8800 GTX
is still of a bit of an untapped market for this. Asus has an Aqua model which uses
the aging Tide Water system from Thermaltake. This particular system is not too
quiet, takes up a load of room, and is generally pretty inefficient. The only other
company to have a water cooled card is BFG Tech but its version is a bit more
hardcore, it is only for people who already have a water cooled system in their
case.
MSI on the other hand seems to use its own design which unlike the Tide Water looks
to cool everything from the GPU to the memory and unlike the BFG Tech is an all in
one system making it a good option for people who do not really know what they are
doing.
