Wonder if these Classified blocks will fit the KPE or are EK making separate ones?

No it won't fit.  EVGA and EK are working on the KPE block

This reseller first thing happened to me last year when I ordered a R9 290x block and backplate. I ordered the moment they went up for sale . To my surprise my local store here in Australia had them up for the next day with an ETA of 2 days. So I canceled my order with EK and got them from my local store for $80 less. I thought the same might happen again so instead of paying for the classy blocks I choose to go with the bank transfer option so I just secure my stock anyway. Guess what my local store had them up for pre-order the next day. So I cancelled at Ek and preordered with my local retailer. ETA is 4th March but they will prob get them earlier. Do hasn't started shipping non reseller orders anyway so Yeah.

I won't be ordering from EK directly anymore.

I will try to know if we intend to create the plexi version of it.

Thank you for prompt reply!!!!!!

The plexi version of the quad is in the work currently but we don't know when it will become available.  That's a big piece of acrylic and it's not easy to work with.

All I can say (because my job position don't give me the kind of informations you would all like to know) will only put more anger and hate but...

1) We don't lie, WE (the forum reps) try to give you the best information WE (the forum reps) have. Things can happen in the factory since WE (the company) are all humans trying to serve you all.
2) The amount of classy blocks sold were wayyyyy more than we initially expected
3) It wasn't a pre-order thing to grab your money and party with it or whatever you could have in mind. We produced a certain quantity of blocks (i don't know the quantity) but it was insufficient compared to the frenzy of the sale.

Like I said all these things won't make anyone happy because it doesn't include any order updates or dates or timeframe for shipments.

Maybe the resellers were to receive their orders before so people who don't like to order from the EK website can buy their blocks too.

But since my job doesn't seems to help anyone here but only to receive all your bucket loads of rants than go ahead and fill my bucket....

Yes I stay with you Luc Ek I sent 4 - 5 mail in the past to ek asking information about block, cónnectivity and other enquiry and they reply me always politly and they always was very kind with me!!!!! (little bit nervous yesterday but I know they are full of stress and work!!!!) Inside a company there are always people working hard to guarantee the quality of the products that we will put inside our pc to make records and very high score in benchmarking or other staff!!!!!!!!!! I m sure that they send us our blocks as soon as possible!!!!!! 

Luc gets my sympathy also. I´m 100% sure that they will do their best to get blocks manufactured and shipped as fast as possible. People have waited 970 and classified blocks for long time and maybe thats why they are so angry and doesn´t see the truth. This is good news, not bad :)
 
I´ve made my order of GTX 970 block and a backplate. Hope they will send them to me monday so I can install them next weekend. If they don´t, it´s not the end of the world. :) Backplates status is now "limited quantity" so maybe they have put already one aside for me.

Not happy people that buy them elsewhere are likely getting them before us and for less.
 
Please don't forget to send my block out Monday.

hahahahahhaha Life sucks doesnt it. Just ordered mine from PCS :)

It won't matter too much in the long run, but it sure sucks paying an extra $20-$30 with the impression that by buying from the source you'll get it as fast as possible.
 
Maybe mine will ship when you've posted some benches. :)
 
 

I'll have quad benches next week :)

Lookin' forward to hearing what these can do under water Stay puft. That must be one heavy case.

Hello guys does someone know if ek had started to send pack?

Mine is still processing.

more delay.
