Any information about this at all? Just a small acknowledgement that EVGA is working on it to release it "soon" would be great.  

tommorow can be on stock MSI GTX 1080 SEA HAWK EK X in many stores if you want. Jacob say Hydro version end of July so I think this or next week we can buy this card.

the MSI card (one) came back in stock yesterday. I had it on backorder so they kept the "out of stock" up and shipped that card to me. Will be here wednesday. So excited!!

Whinge, whinge, moan, moan, Jacob-when's-the-1080hydrocopper-coming-out?, blah, blah, blah ....

Any more news? 😃

Now seriously considering the new Titan. This is like tech-hell - having the cash but no availability 😠😠😠

I bet hydrocopper will be based on Classified PCB and will o/c to at least 2.2Ghz
Anyone know what board will be used?

Even if it is based on the Classified PCB, it will not guarantee a 2.2ghz OC. All water really do is keep it from thermal throttling.

I received this message from jxm1013: I asked this same question to Jacobon Twitter a few days ago and his response was "No ETA at the moment unfortunately. Still in works." I am seriously considering the MSI card which would be the first time I venture away from an EVGA branded product... I would love to have some vague idea of the anticipated release schedule. Any information at this point other than "No ETA" would be nice.

I grabbed the MSI Seahawk EK X and it is pretty much the same thing as a classified hydro copper just from MSI instead of EVGA. Even has the 3 year warranty. I see no reason in waiting around when EVGA is unwilling to provide us with zero information at all. This was also the first time for me buying a card other than an EVGA since the radeon x1300 was relevant.

That MSI card has an 8+6 power.
  ~That is 2 less then EVGA FTW 8+8.
 
Maybe EVGA  found that sweet power ratio where card can become "Great" overclocker.
Why else would they be stalling so long?
     

Because they are obviously having issues with the water block manufacturer this time around. It is obvious since they have not even told us WHO it is. The card is bios voltage locked per nVidia, there is no magic to be had until custom bios is a thing. 8+6 vs 8+8 isn't a big deal unless you are doing ln2 and then you probably have custom power delivery anyways.
