Hey all -- 
 
With the new release today, I have skipped the cards that have been put on the market and am waiting for the Classified to go on sale. In doing so, I remembered back to the days when I got my 680 Classifieds and how incredibly impossible it was to get a waterblock for them until EVGA restocked a tiny amount of them.
 
Is there any news either way on waterblocks being offered for these cards either from EVGA or EK or anyone at all? It seems like a waste to keep an air cooler on a card like the Classified. If there is one offered I hope the stock is not like the 680 was.
 

On Reddit, an EK rep basically said they will have roughly the same type of block support as they did for the 980 series GPUs. Since they offered a block for the 980 Classified, I would be the same will hold true for the 1080. 
 
I am holding out to see what the 1080 Hydro Copper has to offer, but one way or another I will have some variant of the 1080 with an nice EK block on it!

Also the EK blocks DO NOT support the new SLI bridge, they don't fit. But the original bridges do. At least on the reference cards. So far.

I was thinking the same thing, asked Jacob on Twitter but no reply. Probably nothing concrete regarding it yet.
 
What I did notice however afterwards, was the Hydrocopper picture/render had a card with a custom PCB that was wider than usual and two 8-pins for power. So maybe the Hydrocopper will be a good buy... hope so! 

Hydro Copper look as dream, even nicer than Hybrid.
This big part with EVGA GeForce HydroCopper logo give so nice look to card... amazing.
I tried Classified, K|NGP|N Classified, and both look amazing in my case, I tried and one EVGA reference my next wish is HydroCopper one day.
This would be right time for Hydro Copper. Hydro Copper with 8+8 pin are big plus from my perspective.
 

 
This morning is so nice for me when I saw such good new EVGA series.
All of them are nice, even little ACX 3.0 will keep in shadow graphics with similar design from other brands.
 

I keep saying to my self that I don't want to install a water tank and pump in my computer system. !!!

If the Hydrocopper carries an FTW or Classified PCB, it is going to be an amazing buy! That would definitely be worth the price.

Thats what im holding out for. 1080 Classified hydro copper. once those are out ill be making a purchase. 

Yeah, this is what I'm looking for to. Time to move on from my 780 Classy :)

I imagine this will apply for the 1080 Hydro Copper due to it's use of EK blocks?
