Simply,  are there any available? 
 
I've noticed a few for the reference design but nothing that will fit the Classifieds.

Not Yet, I have had to use a Custom "GPU ONLY" water block for my four GTX 980 Classifieds.

Primary Rig: Open Bench Table - 5960X/4.875GHz - ASUS RVE - Corsair 3000MHz-16GB - CPU-Phase Change - GPU-Chilled Water - Graphics (TBD) Secondary Rig: NZXT H630 - 980/4.5GHz - EVGA E760 - Corsair 2000MHz-12GB - CPU-HK/GPU-EK/MB-EK:Water Cooled - 3X-SLI EVGA 980ti Classified (06G-P4-4998-KR)

I noticed that the EK site changed from saying just "Coming Soon" to
 
 
"Coming Soon 
ETA to be published through EK News and Social Media sites"
 
Somebody over at OCN said that EK support told them it was 3 months out a week or two ago. That's probably just a line though, when I contacted them before the card came out they said they had no plans to make one at all.
 
I am guessing we have one by year end from EK.
 
The custom/universal block is a good option for now and will really be about the same as the full cover block.

I bought these last year to "Experiment" on a low-cost way to test my Graphics Cards without spending Hundreds of $$ on specific Full Cover water blocks that ONLY fit one PCB Design.

They have been working great for Testing/Benching on my four EVGA GTX 980 SC's and My four EVGA GTX Classified ACX 2.0's until such time when SOMEONE manufactures a Full Cover water block!

^^ LOL -- Szeged
 
I couldn't resist so I have 2 Classies on the way :0P 
 
Derick -- I heard through the grapevine that it will be late December or early January for the blocks. Is that the ETA for these?
              Please tell me it will be earlier :)

Can't be that far off, you only have to make 20 of them or so, right?

I just found out that the EK-FC780 Classy water blocks WILL work on the EVGA GTX 980 Classifieds!

Glad I don't have to spend Hundreds of $$$ for New EK water blocks when I still have the four left when I sold my EVGA GTX 780Ti Classified Kingpin Editions!

Yikes!  Sounds like it's bending the boards a bit.  Not real excited about that.

Thanks Derick, Appreciate the warning, But you know us Crazy Overclockers will try just about Anything!LOL
 
Anyway, I really haven't decided to use them yet (Due to PCB Flexing as I found out), So I'll probably keep using my "GPU Only" water block setup, Which seems to work just as well (Temperature wise) as the EK-FC780 Classy's did on my EVGA GTX 780Ti Classified Kingpin Editions until I get to see some GTX 980 Classified Blocks First.

Derek, could you help me on the "soon"?  
 
Is that:
"soon" = 2 weeks
"soon" = 3 weeks
"soon" = 4 weeks

I just ordered a Classified version instead of the HC just because of the statement there will be a waterblock... hope you will do enough of them for everyone ;-)

I am sure EK will make plenty to go around ;)
 
Just be ready for the initial quantity because they might sell out pretty fast but rest assure EK will replenish the supply quickly.
