I'll take three. I'm on the EK wesite twice a day checking the news. I'm waiting on EK to release the blocks so I can buy the classy's, back plates and blocks all at the same time. The odds are that the blocks will come out and the cards will be out of stock again.




Because of that you should buy one buy one thing if you have chance. Order first backplate and cards, try them, test them and water-blocks will be launched for 1-2 week. Exactly to properly test your card and play few games before installation in loop.


You are correct Vlada, I should just buy the cards and plates now. I just don't want EK to keep pushing the date out further.
In your opinion do you think my 1300G2 will be enough or should I upgrade to the 1600. I've heard of power issues with 3 780's while benching with custom gpu bios. I know the 980's use less than the 780's but I'm doing an acrylic build and really don't want to find out later.

You will buy 4. 
I one maybe but earlier. Off course K|NGP|N I could not sleep if some other series have higher clock.
I mean really higher 40-50-60MHz, not 10-15MHz. 10-15 I can survive.
I want to enjoy some time before I upgrade on GM200.
And on GM200 I will stay little longer...

I have the CM 1200 with 2 Classies and easily have more headroom for a third card. I think you're good with your 1300.

You can leave for now 1300W and other customers will probably measure how much need for 2-3 K|NGP|N cards.
I read somewhere guy with same 1300 G2 didn't had space with 2xGTX780Ti K|NGP|N under water and overclocking with
Classified Voltage Tool.
But he probably try to pull less MHz from card how much water-cooling allow. 
Anyway you will not have problem to turn and use cards and overclock them and than you can consult someone who will check on wall how much need exactly.

I take it back, I'm on air and don't have to worry about pumps and radiators. Sorry.

Will there be a copper version of the block too? Or only nickel?

I will ask again but the last time I asked Peter this question, the nickel version was the only one he talked about.  But that was several weeks ago so it might have change.
