well the GTX 1080 just launched very exciting news coming from fantex with a custom GTX 1080 glacier water blocks for the GPU if you love what you see from the show and video fantex and cix and msi made this Computex possible the fan --tx is approaching this from a perspective of giving users a very high-end almost like an ecosystem so the water block is nickel-plated it features acrylic clear acrylic and potentially multiple materials for the aluminum or the metal pieces that are on top water block to match the different colors that fantex currently sells with their case designs water block will have RGB lighting so I'm guessing this is the first of its kind to feature RGB lighting that connects directly to either the fan --tx you know RGB LED system for cases or it will connect to the aura boards and the new MSI and the gigabyte support for this RGB support through directly through the motherboard the water block looks pretty fantastic and given the lighting and you know this very uniform design given its installed inside a fan text enclosure another cool update here would be with the o-ring so fantex is using a new material it's called Viton which is military-grade it's a lot more durable than simple I guess the the silicon or the rubber o-rings that are normally used with fittings so this new material is much more durable it's not going to get ripped with within the thread it's not going to get bent in certain way so there are no leaks it's so it's supposed to be more high quality they are working on their own fittings as well so fantex is going the full water cooling route and giving users a full package in providing fittings GPU water blocks and CPU water blocks that all tie in with the whole ecosystem of design so the importance of this move with fantex 2 heading towards water cooling and using their current knowledge from their previous cooling solutions for water cooling I think is a very good idea considering the target audience that fan is trying to achieve with their high-end cases and even their mid tower mid tier selection of stuff the GPU waterblock is going to be priced at 129 us so I'm guessing that's competitive given we have these RGB lighting features and the fittings the custom fittings that the GPU water blocks include and these o-rings that apparently do add quite a price premium over the standard silicon or rings and that would be it for the fantex coverage here at Computex so gtx 1080 perfect timing with water blocks and the cpu and all the water cooling stuff let us know if this is something that would interest you in terms of picking something up that looks in a way this new glacier series does I'm Dimitri with higher conducts thanks so much for watching and we'll see you in the next video
