What?  Like the heat pipe on the top left of this board that EK makes a block for? I know you are just taking a stab, but I thought it was funny that was the reason you decided on LOL.  At least the x99 Classified can maintain the I/O shield without the heat pipe being removed.  Let's see ASUS do that.  People have been using a Dremel to remove this heat pipe, just to maintain the I/O Shield for aesthetics. 
 

Can the Asus board still use the top slot with GPU;s that have thick back plates? With the alphacool back plates on my 760's I can't use EVGA's I/O cover due to interference. Wonder if they have that problem with the EVGA Hydro blocks and back plates?

Asus has similiar problems with evga and fitting the ram with thick plates .

Wouldnt that be the pount of getting watercooling blocks. To remove the passive heatsinks and pipe and get water blocks.

well if was going to put my titans on anything but a evga board it would be a asrock x99 extreme 11

and u right nat so going to get 4 ex waterblocks for my titans

I completely forgot to. Provide the picture... I have no issues removing the Ram of clearing the EVGA backplate with the Rampage V Extreme. The latches are single sided, unlike EVGA Ram slots. No trying to figure out how to get something wedged in there to remove the DIMM..

They do sit closer to the I/O shield, making it impossible to get to the rear case fan header without removing DIMM 1, but at least every fan header is 4 pin PWM in the board.

and I make a block for that board too.
 
EDIT:
my apologies, I was referring to the ASX-11 for the X79.  I am considering the X99 version as well.  I may have some interested parties for this block.

Think he meant thick backplate made from acrylic which are 2-3mm thicker than the evga backplate.
