Crimson AL I'm in the US but my order moved from preorder to Open Order:
- Order Status: Verified, Pending Approval
Same here, funds were pulled from my checking account this morning. Next Day Air FTW. 
You guys didn't get too much of the Ice-mageddon 2015 so yours may get there overnight. I'm just north of you and mine might take an extra day even though I paid for overnight because of the stupid ice on the roads.

EK_Luc Also, since the same column of capacitors and chokes is present on the KPE PCB I'm not sure the KPE HC block will look like the 980 HC block.
So I guess we can expect the stainless plate on the KPE water block, oh well. It would still look amazing if the plexi - nickel - stainless was covered in thin black metal like the 980 HC block. With E V G A or K|ngp|n cut out of the cover exposing the materials, workings and fluid underneath. I really fell in love with the EVGA/EK 980 Hydro Copper block, was only hoping this collaborative effort would take that design cue a step farther with the KPE block. Oh well, a boy can dream can't he? And thank you for being here Luc...

You have to keep hoping since we never know what the engineers will achieve with the KPE block

EK_Luc You have to keep hoping since we never know what the engineers will achieve with the KPE block 
Anodize the stainless plate black for the plexi blocks, that would looks pretty nice IMO. Personally, I'd like to see a little better cooling for the VRM area on these non-reference cards. My 780 Ti Matrix cards were still pretty hot in that area with the EK block installed.

VRM on GTX980 Matrix is cooler than VRM on GTX780Ti Matrix or similar?

That is what made the pre-order a sweet deal then. For those complaining about the $50 extra, now those few will really have something to complain about ;-)

I though that but still people avoid ASUS series 900 in my country because it's hot, even Strix. I'm interested and for Titan X, usually ASUS send some test samples in Serbia and that stay in office and sometimes if you have connection is possible to find even 30-40% cheaper. ASUS Titan X with waterblock would be nice configuration with Rampage 5 and monoblock. Everything under 240mm radiator.

They would require the same LED's to control them. The Regular Classified only has one. I am not sure if that one is controlled with the current precision, or if a new release is getting ready to come out.
