I've got to brand new 3988's

Thanks 

I hate that they changed the model number...
 
What I like is that my 2988 does 8.8 ghz on the mem in game with this block on. :) My core, meh, 1550 tops is good at stock ov, I guess.
 
40-50c tops with the block. I only hit 50c with my fans super low, in game.

Well this is sooooooo awesome, 2 gtx 980 classifieds WITH EK WBs.
 
Room Temp 73F to 74F
Running BF4 in game for 2 hours
Top Card (Main Card) with 2 monitors running 144hz - 28c to 33c
Bottom Card - 26c to 28c
 
At Idle:
Top Card (Main Card) with 2 monitors running 144hz - 24c to 25c
Bottom Card - 21c to 22c
 
Totally Awesome!!

All I know is that EVGA and EK is working on the block but I don't know if it will be an HydroCopper block made by EK but sold by EVGA as usual or an EK block sold by us or even both.

Regardless, please make this point to them loud and clear, we want to use the EVGA factory backplate with the EK block and not have to "rig" it to work.

This.

I'll add that I want the lights to also be able to go on the waterblock in addition to the backplate fitting.

Its better to ask EVGA to make a backplate with M3 screw size first..
 

Did anybody use the non-conductive strip that came with the Classy 980s when installing this water block? The one that said it was for use with third party coolers.

So...can anyone explain how to make the evga backplate work on this? I have 3 blocks arriving next week and didn't order backplates. Guess I made a mistake there. I'm already using 3 evga backplates and vastly prefer their look. I'll get 3 more if I have to, but I really don't want to. If anyone has done this, or has any ideas, I'm all ears.
