Who's making this block?

Interesting, it looks like design for cooler and probably PCB for hydro changed... compare it to the picture on page 2...
 

Weird, looks like they stacked the 2 power connectors instead of putting them side by side.

Who's making this block?

 
It looks like swiftech's to me, nice but  if that's true I hope they are going to be better than the previous 700 series  as far is them staying straight, they where warping, not all but some and  I had 4 and 2 of them warped, it bend out of shape after awhile.

The Hydro 700 series were horrible.  The block was too fragile. 

But if you ask me, honestly I still would chose swiftech over EK anytime and don't ask me why, I'm sure i would open can of worm even thou it would be only my opinion

Where did this pic come from. Ports are weird too. This doesn't match what the other 1080 cards have... I don't think any of the other ones have dual dvi... ?

Sorry, should have also linked whole page... it's coming from here:
 
eu.evga.com/articles/01007/evga-geforce-gtx-1080/
 
It's almost at the bottom of the page, just look for skyish blue background with both hybrid and hydro models.

I liked the original concept better.  The US product release page has also changed the image to match what was posted above.

Not liking the new look, as it seems the fluid won't be visible from the face of the block like previous versions allowed (looks like the EVGA logo is just a sticker).  Include the added wait time to the equation, and I have decided to go with a 1080 SC + EK block, and skip the Hydro Copper this round.

Looks like there are going to be multiple versions of the HC. reddit /r/nvidia/comments/4nbp4g/there_will_be_more_than_1_version_of_the_evga/?ref=readnext

Wow.  EVGA already has so many SKUs for the 1080, and now stating multiple for the Hydro Copper? 

1. GTX 1080
2. GTX 1080 ACX 3.0
3. GTX 1080 ACX SC Gaming
4. GTX 1080 FTW Gaming
5. GTX 1080 Founders Edition
6. GTX 1080 Classified
7. GTX 1080 Hybrid
8. GTX 1080 Hydro Copper V1.0
9. GTX 1080 Hydro Copper V2.0...
10. GTX 1080 Hydro Copper V3.0...

 
This makes no sense.
