CAN WE PLEASE GET AN APPROXIMATE RELEASE DATE FOR AT LEAST THE WATERBLOCK?
 
I bought 3 Titan X SC's and i cant put them in my rig until i get the Waterblocks for them
 
I dont want aftermarket EK waterblocks for them, i want EVGA's Waterblocks.
 
please???

This one is in Stock
 
This one is as well
 
And it look like this one has a few left: Here
 
They all perform nearly the same, with the new Jet Design possibly performing 2-3c better than the Hydropper.  The Hydrocopper is thicker and has lights on it is the main difference.
 
The Hydrocopper can NOT use these terminal connectors: Here So there is that option for your triple SLI compared to the Hydrocopper which can not do that.

but the EVGA one will have its own connector/terminal like this one right?  and this Ek waterblock looks like ****!  lol
 
But i am debating whether i should just buy it or not........
 
Right now i have 3 gtx 680 classifieds with EVBOT!!! by the way and they are using the EVGA 3way sli Glowing red text terminal and it looks ssoooooooo gooood!
 
So i would rather get the EVGA one for looks.
 
 

well than i need some sort of hint as to when they will be out
 
 
Trust me,
 
i got lucky in getting 3 titan x's.
 
I just happened to be up late one night and i noticed they magically appeared in stock on newegg!  and then i got so pissed when they only would let you buy one per account!
 
I ended up getting one from newegg and 2 others from amazon by pure luck.
 
I would like to at least know a approximate time frame.  i wish they would let us pre-order this stuff

Like I said, soon. They don't give exact dates until they are out, but they have been hinting soon for quite some time now.

 
Do i need a special back plate for the EK waterblock?

Scarlet-Tech
Ek sells backplates for the Titan X that works with their Waterblock and has the same size screws. The backplate does not come with the Waterblock.

i dont see any backplates for sale on their website except for one CPU backpalte.  
 
Are you sure i need the back plates?

When they do come out, AND If you can manage to get more than one at a time, I Bet the prices will be very high. 

There is no design except reference design. The Super clock isn't only a higher clock speed, nothing to do with the PCB.

I know this sounds cruel, but you spend $3,000+ usd and didn't know the only difference was the bios? Nvidia does not allow custom pcb's for the Titan line.

The backplate isn't needed, it just helps support the card and spread the heat of the memory on the back of the PCB.

I wouldn't be surprised if they are the same price as the 980 block ($159 usd) but I also wouldn't be at all surprised if they were a little higher.

If you are buying three blocks and backplate, you will spend less with ek. 109.99 euro per card is $118.94 usd. 3 cards will be $356.82 plus 3 backplate at $97.17 meaning for that you will spend $453.99 before shipping. Shipping on that total will be around 74.11, so around $550.


If, and that is a big if, the hydrocopper comes with a backplate which I don't see on the old hydrocoppers standard and the price is exactly the same as the 980 block, they are 159.99 each, so 479.97 for 3. If the backplate isn't included you are looking at 19.99 at least per backplate, pushing the price from +479.97 to $539.94+shipping which will be at least 4.99 for the cheapest available, and much more if you decide on faster shipping. So, minimum, $545 for hydrocoppers.

So, for an extra $5, you can have everything in hand soon, or you can play Russian Roulette with everyone else trying to grab the hydrocopper the moment it is released.

Don't forget the cost of all fittings required to connect the blocks. None of the blocks come with the fittings, so that is something to consider as well. For the ekfc blocks you can get the serial or parallel terminal, and two fittings. You can get the 10 fittings required, plus two stop fittings for parallel or 6 fittings and 6 stop fittings for serial. With the hydrocopper, you will need to get St least the fittings. I am not sure if they come with the 4 stop fittings per card.
