...wait
On Friday they officially announced they'd be releasing the blocks this morning, but now it's suddenly 2 more weeks?
If the block needed 2 more weeks before being ready for release, wouldn't they have already known that last week anyway?
It seems incredibly silly to me that they would make a public statement saying the blocks will be ready today a couple of days ago, to now suddenly ask for 2 more full weeks.
 
I've got a build that's literally dead in the water until I get 2 of these blocks in. All of the hardware has arrived, all it's waiting for is the waterblocks to arrive...
I'm doing acrylic tubing, so without these blocks I can't even start prepping the rest of the build already.
 
I'm really getting very frustrated :( 




The message above is from February 3rd...





... talking as if we could order that block today... Sorry but that reliability got lost over the past three months and trust has to be earned. We will see although I doubt that block will appear in the shop today. All I can do is point at my post earlier today in this thread -> "clear and faithful words and no more vague statements". All I can see here is another vague defensive statement without any faithful content on WHEN or even WHY (exactly).
Hint: you just missed the chance on releasing a lot of customers wasting their time by killing their "F5" key.
(It's called marketing as long as they F5 a single page they won't have the time to spend more money elsewhere for other products on your web shop)
 




Someone with some sense.
 
The delays are one thing, not a good thing, but lying isn't going to help anyone. Or being so non-transparent. Some of us are wasting our time F5ing to try to get one when we were told it would be available. An actual honest statement would have been appreciated. 
 
A lot of time wasted just to place an order... and so much for it arriving by Friday!

Some other 980 brand blocks were sold out for some time, if this is as popular as those brands.

EK knows how popular the classified cards are and will produce accordingly. If I don't snag a block today I'm putting mine on dice and saying the hell with it

They've got three more hours PST to remain true to their word. Shady, sure. Certainly not doing their customers or themselves any favors here.
The bp pre-order is looking more tempting.

If you email Bitspower, they offer a pre-order for the 980 classy water block coming out at the end of this month.
 
They offered me a bare copper version if I pre-ordered, for anyone interested.
