Sounds like a lot of work. LOL. :P (A lot of steps)
Yep, MS likes to "improve" their OS with every release.

Sorry but... I would never go with an EVGA motherboard, had problems back in the day with them, and they've only gotten worse. I remember when they made us all buy an extra hot fix for their motherboards to properly distribute power to the PCI-E lanes.
As a matter of fact I even hesitate to buy EVGA GPU's these days since they no longer carry a lifetime warranty; lifetime warranty was back in the good ole days when EVGA wasn't a money grab company, customer service was awesome, and they were a true customer company.
Whoever took over at EVGA, and/or whatever initiative started changing this by the executive team has forced me to look elsewhere. Asus has GREAT motherboards, I've had two Sabertooths that are absolute CHAMPS...

So just an update. The Motherboard works great. No problems at all. I did have to update the Bios to the most recent version. All is good.

Nice if everything works... Really bad because something go wrong or I would have now very similar configuration as you. Maybe is even better because you didn't change that old HAF... When EVGA launch new case in middle of 2016 your hardware will fit excellent inside if you like bigger case. Look this, exactly for Intel Xtreme and GeForce Pascal Hydro.

Where do you find those cases ? That looks like something I would like to look @ for new build. I looked on this site and didn't see it for sale.

They resolve nice pump for AIO... But this idea with quick disconnect on AIO is not clear to me... I don't see big reason to people connect GPU and CPU cooler. That's solution for Predator because he have 360mm radiator and one pump and you install GPU with waterblock on pump and big radiator. If you buy EVGA AIO and separate EVGA Hybrid you don't need to connect them, both of them work with own pump and with own 120mm radiators. Connecting them is not smartest solution. But separate are excellent.

If you are talking about X58... Evga actually did a good thing by releasing the "Evga Power Boost" cable, to address an issue that was really Intel's fault. Don't think any other companies did that for their existing boards at the time. Later boards came with a 4-pin Molex connector at the bottom of the board that would fix Intel's little design flaw (this connector removed the need for the Power Boost cable).

They will be available during Q2 2016. Worth waiting, I don't like because now all manufacturer will start to make cases with visible temp sensors and for now nobody didn't pay attention on that, only people who modified their cases. Maybe they should make space on side below buttons if people want to install Slim Blu Ray, one little space for that possible to cover. But only Slim version. It's good thing that people could install 360mm radiator on top 240mm on front panel, and they have space for one 120mm intake and one 120mm exhaust fan for case cooling. Or they could install 240mm radiator on back side...  Cables on back side are hidden. OK my cable management is perfect with EVGA Sleeve Cables. I will show you picture of back side, very small number of cables... I would replace my H100 instantly with this AIO, I mean instantly. Why they didn't show him before some time. What Xray Man think? Is it better than old HAF or not?

If I didn't love my CM Haf X so much, I would get it, or if I just plain needed to upgrade it. For those that want a new case, then go with Evga.

Good to see EVGA simplifying water cooling loops. Take them some time to catch up with the likes of EK but no doubt they will succeed.

Yes EVGA AIO Systems will be most wanted on market. I feel they will build finest system from durable components with very nice temperatures.
That's most important, but who like to look in custom loop will need to pay more.
I think before 1-2 years we talk on overclock.net about CORSAIR and possibility to build something closed capable to cool down and CPU and GPU.
But they continue to launch similar systems every 3 months. They perform amazing, no doubt, but Hybrid is best for GPU after EKWB blocks.
Loot of people afraid from leakage and they don't want nothing except closed system. 2x 120mm place for CPU and GPU and ambient temps will be very low. 2 Case fans will be enough.
It would be amazing when EVGA start to build Classified Hybrid cards with wide PCB and bigger pump...

I am disappointed ! Almost tired of waiting and was hoping the Classified or Dark Version would have 2 Lan ports. I find it hard to believe the K series is the only Release they will make. If that is so it will break my confidence in EVGA Product Development Team.

For me, my Classified is ok for my needs. I can live with it. It works well, with no problems. Although I wouldn't mind an upgrade to the Dark.

I would have bought the Classified but with all the chatter about the Dark I thought I would wait just to future proof the system a bit. Begining to think they just left us in the Dark. Just like the New Case its been in the Dark since it was supposed to be named. No word on it either.
