MSI Introduces The GeForce RTX 3080 Sea Hawk X: The Factory Overclocked, AIO-Cooled RTX 3080

 


MSI announced the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 and RTX 3090 Sea Hawk graphics cards, which include the Sea Hawk X and Sea Hawk EK X models, three months ago. MSI's first liquid-cooled RTX 30 series card, the highly anticipated AIO-cooled RTX 3080 Sea Hawk X, was released today.


The MSI GeForce RTX 3080 Sea Hawk X uses an AIO cooler to cool a factory overclocked NVIDIA RTX 3080.

The AIO cooling solution is the most important and visible part of the MSI GeForce RTX 3080 Sea Hawk X. The AIO is powered by an ASETEK pump with a micro-fin copper base to keep the GPU and VRAM modules cool. The liquid is cooled by a 240mm AIO with two MSI Torx Fan 4.0 fans spinning at 35db and providing 70% more air pressure than standard PWM fans. The VRM is cooled by a single Frozr fan on the shroud, and the memory modules have large thermal pads for better heat dissipation.



The GA102-200 GPU, which has 8074 CUDA cores, 272 TMUs, and 96 ROPs, is at the heart of the RTX 3080 Sea Hawk X. The Sea Hawk has a factory overclock on the boost clock speed of 1785 MHz and a base clock speed of 1440 MHz, as it is one of the higher-end GPUs. It has 10GB of GDDR6X memory with a 19 Gbps memory clock speed. The Sea Hawk uses a custom PCB that is powered by dual 8-pin power connectors. The PCB has yet to be pictured, so we'll have to wait for a teardown to see if it's the same as the SUPRIM or Gaming X PCB.


As of now, MSI has only released this Sea Hawk model, so the Sea Hawk EK X on the RTX 3080 and both the Sea Hawk X and EK X on the RTX 3090 have yet to be released. The EVGA GeForce RTX 3080 XC3 Ultra and FTW3 Ultra Hybrid Gaming, as well as the Colorful iGame GeForce RTX 3080 Neptune, will undoubtedly be among the more expensive cards.
