German Support said they are working for an gtx 1080 Classified hydro Block i hope the Informations are correct

Do you have a Link to this?

I hope this is true. Like I mentioned previously, it would make sense giving the abrupt course change for EK. Why create a product that EVGA themselves are going to release likely made by EK.

Lets hope that it comes out sometime soon. Would love to not waste time trying a 980ti classified block.

Just need to measure the blocks to make sure they line up properly and cover all the vrms and such beneath.  Do all classy's have the same general size as the 1080 classified.  Width and length? 
 
Edit:  I just compared the PCB's of the 980TI Classified to the 1080 Classified.  Unless the measurements work out way different (length and width of the block), the mounting is identical on the two cards for the waterblock.  The 980 on the other hand does not line up to the PCB mounting that is on the 1080.  You can compare the two PCB photos on EK's website and put the 980TI Classy next to the 1080 Classy and see what I am talking about.
 
Pure dimensions from EVGA's website would seem to indicate the same PCB for the two cards with different GPU:  Both are 11in or 279.4mm in length.  The height while the same at 5.94in/150.88mm is insignificant since the coolers would come off.





True. They are pretty much identical. The ek780 wb was also confirmed to fit the 980 and 980ti. My only concern was gpu height, after a paste-droplet test on the mem and gpu, the gpu seemed somewhat lower on the board. Which is why i opted for the 0.5mm pads on the mem.

A block in production for the 1080 Classified ? Or am I misunderstanding ? Which Firma is making this Block ?

i dont know witch Firma is making this Block... the Support said a block for the classified is planned and in production that was all he said.
But he has no information when it will appear.
can therefore call someone the USA Support and ask whether the information is correct because my English is not the best.....

Dark,
 
I have already posted content of email reply from EU EVGA customer/technical support in which they said they have NO information yet on any block for 1080 Classified.
 
as below - this is email they sent me:
 
thank you for contacting the EVGA Customer Service Team. My name is James Lac and I will answer your question today.

Your Answer:

Hello, 

Unfortunately we do not have any current information on possible waterblocks for the classified models at this time. I do apologize for any inconveniences this may have caused you. 

Regards,
EVGA

One would think that if EVGA was going to release a block they should just come out and say it. All of this mystery and inconsistent answers is just super confusing. Very similar to the 10 series launch in general with regards to availability and such.

A, so that was EVGA Support you mailed !
Question, can i return the 1080 Classified if i have allready registered the Card on EVGA Website, and claimed the 1000 Points for Paragon ?
Im am realy realy considering returning the classified and Change it to a FTW Card. Because EKWB has a waterblock for the later. But then i dont know if the EVGA Powerplug will fit the FTW, and i really really Need the power Plug.
 
Apart from that i really really want to Keep the classified, because ist the better built of the two, but if I can't watercool it, then it's useless to me.

Jacob has said there will be multi configurations for the power plug already.
