Anyone see any updates on the hydro? All I can find is hybrid stuff.
 
Going crazy. The GPU is the last piece that I need for my new build. Want to stay with EVGA, but because of the EK fiasco, I'm stuck with either getting a FE (boo) or waiting for the hydro... as the alternative is to wait for EK to release blocks for the other custom boards then void my warranty.

Don't get why people buy the hydrocopper. Buy an ek block and the ref based pcb and you got the same card for less and better 2nd hand sale  or for when your loop is down as you still have the stock cooler for whatever reasons. Your paying the cost of the regular plus the block and some for a hydrocopper. Evga needs to throw in an air cooler to the hydrocopper bundle for it to make sense.

Because you get a better bios installed with higher OC, higher stock clocks, and also if the card bricks you havent installed the block.
You pay for that extra deal, and most waterblocks itself are over $100 dollars without backplate + you get dual 8pins on it compared to most of the other variants.
Hope that answer why. Personally im running a GTX 780 HC with 365MHz OC at 1228MHz compared to stock cards with 863mhz, and with 1.3volts. Couldnt be happier with it.
Im sure gonna pay some extra for the HC version again cause im really happy with the old one and trust EVGA help me out with this one aswell.

Hype about Hydro version is on end

Yeah, saw that. Looks like I'm out. It's the last piece that I needed for my new PC. 2 more months is too long and it's not worth the effort of putting 780 GTXs in there as a temporary measure. Ordered 2 EK blocks and back plates and will go FE with a 2.0 GHz overclock. Was planning on jumping when the Titan comes out anyway so I'm not too bothered about performance. so far it's looking like theses chips don't have a lot of OC headroom. Will be watching closely to see if the AIBs find a way around this... If anything does, it'll be the classified.

End of July?  Wow.  I can wait, but that sucks.

That is a lot further out than I was expecting for the Hydro Copper. Might just get a Classified and use it stock until a block is released.
I wish EVGA would provide some info as to who will be making the block for they Hydro Copper, and the blocks they will sell for the Classified and FTW editions.
