Unfortunately not. :(
 
"We are sorry, but due to unexpected circumstances, there is a delay with the release of this waterblock.
Waterblock will be available in our sales program in January 2015."


Hopefully that gets pushed ahead somehow to the end of dec at least.

NOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I just found out that the EK-FC780 Classy water blocks WILL work on the EVGA GTX 980 Classifieds!



Glad I don't have to spend Hundreds of $$$ for New EK water blocks when I still have the four left when I sold my EVGA GTX 780Ti Classified Kingpin Editions!

Not recommended... But I won't stop ya :p

Thanks Derick, Appreciate the warning, But you know us Crazy Overclockers will try just about Anything!LOL
 
Anyway, I really haven't decided to use them yet (Due to PCB Flexing as I found out), So I'll probably keep using my "GPU Only" water block setup, Which seems to work just as well (Temperature wise) as the EK-FC780 Classy's did on my EVGA GTX 780Ti Classified Kingpin Editions until I get to see some GTX 980 Classified Blocks First.  

First post!
 
Does the heatspreader do a good job keeping the vrms and memory cool with just the universal GPU block?  I have an EK thermosphere from another project that ended up not being used, if I dremel off those 4 little tabs around the gpu on the heatspreader the thermosphere would work on that card. Saw on another forum some people did that with the 780 classies with good results. Would be a good workaround until the full block is available, the way things have been going this block will be delayed several times and I don't mind modding the heatspreader.  Might also figure out a way to mount a fan in the case so there is always airflow on the heatspreader.
 
 

Me too waiting full cover for my four classified.... witch is the best brand to buy? Ek or xspc? Or only ek will make it????

Ek is the only announced company that I have heard of making Classified blocks this round.

Scarlet-Tech
