Been having the hardest time deciding on what AIB 1080 to get. Think I decided on the MSI GTX 1080 Seahawk though.

As far as I know, the Seahawk has a single 8-pin power connector like the reference board, so if you're after high overclocks you'll be better with another card.

Here's a review of the MSI GTX1080 Gaming X card, if you're interested: http://www.guru3d.com/articles-pages/msi-geforce-gtx-1080-gaming-x-8g-review,1.html

While I'm not too familiar with overclocking I didn't do any heavy overclocking with my GTX 770.  I should be fine overclocking to 2000 to 2100 without a second pin?  From my understanding from what I have been reading I shouldn't need to mess with the voltage too much with a clock like that?  I'm also a big fan of the aestehtic of the Seahawk as my case is a corsair 500r White and it matches.   Additionaly, it's a bit smaller then the gaming X.  But I'm still not fully decided.
