Wasn't trying to be difficult.  I know it is talked about quite a bit although it may not have specific threads that are simply dedicated to it.  I assumed you meant the Hybrid as other cards seem to be available unless you are referencing a particular card in a particular part of the world.  Their are some available for order right now on their website.

Lol, a hydro copper version....really? Yeah, cause I want to spend $400 on a custom liquid cooling solution. There's a reason why AIO is starting to gain traction in the liquid cooling world. People don't want to have to build complex cooling designs. Lastly, as far as the 980 TI reference card goes...every single time I've looked to buy one (to check price), every card has been in stock other than EVGA. Maybe it's just me being from North America, but EVGA is definitely the only manufacturer having stock issues to this scale. Sure, others have sold out, but they replenish in a few days. EVGA replenishes once a month if you are lucky.

Flat out, EVGA doesn't keep stock like others have. Others also don't allow you to rip coolers off, maintain warranty, give the warranty to the next person, extend your warranty up to 5 or 10 years within 30 days of purchase, or disassemble the card to inspect if everything is probably installed (TIM and thermal pads).

You may pay a few dollars more, but try that with some of the other brands. I saw many people with Asus bricks, because they changed their TIM.

Now, how many times can you post a picture on the companies public forums showing ice pouring off of a gpu, then say that it stopped working and still get a warranty? There was no physical harm done to my 780 classified, but I showed the DICE overclocking and the issues I had, and EVGA honored the warranty after reviewing the pictures on their forum. Take the cooler off of some brands, and you get a paperweight.

All of this make evga much more demanded by the end user. Nvidia doesn't even transfer a warranty at all. They don't give a poop if you didn't even unbox it.

Now, I will say.. Name calling is never tolerated on the forums, so it will probably get edited out. . If anyone wants to call someone "dum" it should be spelled the right way.

That is clearly not possible as they are obviously not available anywhere on the planet. Just like I don't have an EVGA reference SC version coming from B&H today.  It's just impossible so please stop lying.

You may have missed the posts by Jacob stating that the hybrid line was delayed due to manufacturing issues with the AIO itself. They have already started the expansion to get more coolers out, because initially (this is the main part that you may not or may have known) the AIO was ONLY for the 980.  After the Titan X released, they had to verify if it would even properly function with the Titan X.  Once verification was complete, demand nearly tripled, as all of the 980 hybrid, AIO kit, and then the Titan X owners wanted them all at once.
 
So, how does that tie into the 980ti hybrid?  well, the AIO was manufactured for one card, was being sold as a stand alone, and Now fits two other cards as well... so, double the previous demand that had already been stacked, and they only have one manufacturer to make the hybrids that is swamped.  This makes Demand much greater than supply.  As EVGA has already said, they are working to ramp up the volume, but it isn't an overnight experiment that they snap a finger and it happens. The new company, if that is what they are using, has to adjust tolerances and verify the parts even properly work just like the previous had to do before the new company came in.  This causes more delays. 
 
Now, one cooler initially made for a single card, topped off with stand alone and two other cards, then the delay of rebranding shrouds to match the card, and then push it a step further with verifying every card that works with the AIO so that it maintains the proper clocks... That is a hell of a process to go through. Yes, there are massive delays... but how long has Corsair been saying the HG10 was coming out?  It was Jun 1 when they made the announcement on the article I found, and that is just a bracket and a pre-existing fan... not an entire kit that needs to be recreated. Why is Corsair taking so long with it?  Similar situation.  I bet it stays sold out for a while when it is first released, but they are probably holding back to gather stock and not holding back for the manufacturing process.  If EVGA held back from selling just to stock, we would be sitting here discussing the exact same thing, as we are right now. People would be saying they would buy another brand just because they couldn't get what they want when they want it. it is just a very vicious cycle all in all.  End users WILL find a reason to complain no matter what.  I promise.

I got a AIO Titan x today, but would have preferred two or three 980Ti AIOs. Maybe its simply a problem with keeping larger retailers feed more, but since the 'E V G A ' is on the board, one simply expects to be able to purchase from E V G A  and not Newegg as i did for the Titan.
There simply needs to be a somewhat more happy medium,,, if EVGA wishes to sell EVGA cards.... and asking people whom are buying EVGA cards through other outlets, to expect some sort of comparable about MSI or other MFGers products certainly sounds lame.
 
We understand how important the other (Newegg ect) retailers are for the EVGA general business but please, no more excuses.
