So I own a Z-170 deluxe from Asus. It comes with a "70mm" flex bridge... I would like one of these new high bandwidth ones from evga but I don't see a 70mm one...

What do I do?

There are pictures on the SLI sale page that explain which HB bridge you need.
 
You will need a bridge with 60MM spacing between the slots that 2 double width video cards occupy. Each IO panel, and each PCI slot are 20mm spacing. there is a single space between the 2 PCI-3 video cards with ASUS Z-170 boards. So, thats a 1 space EVGA Bridge.  
 
Nvidia uses a different naming scheme for their bridges and include the width of 1 double card in the name.

Thank you so much for the prompt and informative response! Now where do I pre-order the 1080 hydrocopper?

^ I am going to second this question. Especially with how bad the new HydroCopper is looking this year.....

Wow this card look beautiful. This is really tempting to get this one instead of the hydro copper. It seems to have all the same features + a ek block.

yea, that is the problem. I have always loved EVGA cards because they have unmatched reliability and aesthetics. But IMHO, MSI is beating them in the looks and dev department on the hydro series.

That MSI GTX 1080 SEA HAWK EK X is for 925€
I hope EVGA version will be max 800€ +/- 20€.
