So, EK is out and won't do blocks for the eVGA cards other than those using reference design.
I saw Aqua Computers had a reference card block that was listed for both the 1080 and 1070, are the reference versions (and in the extension I guess Base/SC ACX versions) of both card compatible?
Are there (at the moment) any known companies that will make water blocks for the FTW and Classifies cards?

The list of waterblock manufacturers besides EK that made quality full GPU blocks for the Titan and 980 / 980Ti include: Swiftech AquaComputer and Heatkiller I'm sure they will all have similar offerings for the 1080, the only question being will any choose to support the non-reference designs. It has been said on this forum that EVGA will also be selling a block for the FTW and Classified versions, and of course there is the Hydro Copper. At this point we will just have to wait and see.

Where did you get that from since the EK reps are adamant about that they have no plans whatsoever to support the non-reference EVGA cards with any blocks (FTW and Classified)?

I never stated that the EVGA blocks will be made by EK... I had 2x GTX 580 Hydro Coppers in SLI, that used Swiftech blocks. They looked great and performed very well. I would guess EVGA is going with one of the block manufacturers I listed above. As much as I would like to see and EK block for the FTW edition, EK doesn't seem to want to play ball in the "non-reference" field with the 1080 series. That doesn't necessarily mean there won't be other options.

Gotcha, yeah I saw that in the thread about the Classified's watercooling (nonexistant) options. I thought there had been some new development I missed and was all excited!

No worries. I think we are all a bit frustrated with the announcement that EK won't be making blocks for non-refrece cards, and the lack of information provided by EVGA at this point. I personally planned my new custom PC build to coincide with the release of the GTX 1080, and had planned on using an EK block for one of the higher end EVGA cards. Even used an EK block in the 3D render I put together to plan out the build.   Now I will most likely wait for the Hydro Copper to release, or see what those other block manufacturers bring to the table.

Phantek have an interesting full cover block for the ref PCB 1080.
EK have their regular selection (nickel/copper, clear/acetal) for the ref PCB 1080.
Aqua Computers have a ref PCB card listed as fitting both 1080 and 1070 (several versions).
Anyone got some to add to list?

Over in the classified block thread, people have been getting mixed signals from EK customer support via email. They are now saying although the FTW edition won't see an EK block, the Classified will.

Hi , I just finished installing an EK Predator snap-in block for my EVGA 1080 Founders card, and it has cooled it down even more. Benchmark for now using no overclock, link below.

2 of those manufacturers have crap customer service....the other one, I'd consider, but, man....I do love EVGA's customer service. EK is making a mistake here. They should get over the butthurt and move on with business.

I'm a huge EVGA and EKWB fan... Every water-cooled rig I have built has been with EVGA gpu's and EK water blocks.. Its looking like I'll be going Asus STRIX this time around..

JediexpressWhy would EK stop supporting EVGA custom pcb's? They had some business problems, that happens. Might be a bad decision for us, but they will have their reasons. Nevertheless, you can still get an EVGA cards in the ref. (FE) design and get the matchign EK cooler. Currently it seems like the OC cards will not make a big difference.

I believe the EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 SC GAMING ACX 3.0 (08G-P4-6183-KR) PCB is the reference design. EK has a block for it that matches my color scheme, (EK-FC1080 GTX – Nickel)..

I'm a big EK fan and think their quality is good and their support excellent. The same holds true for EVGA as well, good quality and excellent support. I have no clue what's going on behind the scene and what the bad blood between EK and EVGA is, but that doesn't really matter, what matters is that those who suffer from this is us, the customers. Fact is that EVGA is one of the lager Nvidia solution providers (or am I wrong there?) so refusing to produce blocks for their cards while doing so for other brands seems a bad business policy regardless of what the beef is, it's pride, not logic. In this case I think the gfx card is primary and the cooling solution secondary, if I HAVE to chose and can't get the ideal combination I think I'd still go with the EVGA card and just find an alternate block provider (if any). Being told to go with an alternate vendor for the (likely) most expensive and most performance impacting part of a build due to a corporate grudge seems a bit odd. OK, I admit that Ek (and any other manufacturer) are under no obligation to support any given vendor or product, but does this blanket dismissal of a popular brand really make economic sense?
Every single part in my custom loop setup is EK branded and I'd love to keep it that way (holding out for Signalkuppe over getting a Aquaero even), but I will likely NOT buy a non eVGA gfx card (Currently stuck on air cooling as EK refused to make a block for my current card as well).
Hopefully this can be resolved somehow and these great companies get on good terms again so that we consumers can reap the benefits and enjoy the absolute best products of both categories (and I'm 100% sure any blame isn't one sided in this issue).

Had me worried there since I just ordered an EK block yesterday for the 1080 SC which arrives tomorrow. Does the EVGA backplate on the SC work with the EK waterblock, or do I have to pick up the backplate that EK makes? Thanks.

 My SC edition and EK block arrive tomorrow, but still looking at possible upgrades to a Classified once EK blocks are available for it.
Project Open Core: Liquid P5, Hardline Tubing, Illuminated System Panel "Democracy is not freedom. Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to eat for lunch. Freedom comes from the recognition of certain rights which may not be taken, not even by a 99% vote. Those rights are spelled out in the Bill of Rights and in our Constitution. Voters and politicians alike would do well to take a look at the rights we each hold, which must never be chipped away by the whim of the majority."

I just used some vinyl to achieve the look, but EK should look into doing something like this, where you have a black full board block, but can still see the fluid.  Just finished overclocking and testing my custom "hydro copper". Benchmarks and Temps found on this thread.
