Is alphacool working on a waterblock, like all their waterblocks are, in that their not true fullcover blocks ? If zou check some review of their waterblocks, youll see that allthough it cools the gpu okay, the VRMs are badly cooled, apart from that it has high restriction rating compared to true blocks like those from EKWB, Aquacomputer, etc.
Thats why i decided in the end against it. Also 8 to 12 weeks seems like a lot of time, 3 months for a waterblock, i mean, whats the deal ? do they have a pentium 286 that makes the calculations for the waterblock ???
 
I think in the end im going to return the classified and get a FTW 1080, just because no proper waterblocks are available. I would get a zotac arctic storm if they were available.
Besides, the FTW 1080 is 100 something euro cheaper, these can go to EKWB for the waterblock.

Just a heads up, but the ArcticStorm is available on Newegg right now

Yah, i ordered 2 of them 
Im sending the Classified back to caseking.de
Well, i guess i wont have a EVGA card for now.

EK-Luc Can you get the measurements from the pci plate to the center of the terminals? I need to know how far the terminals are off from the EK-FC R9-290X - Acetal+Nickel (Rev.2.0) So I know if I need to completely get different fittings to go from the GPU to my Kryo m.2 waterblock. The following link is the area I'm talking about. It appears from images there is a pretty good difference between the distance of g 1/4 ports on the two blocks. http://imgur.com/oYClaaj Or at least the measurement from the edge of the block (i/o plate side) to the middle of each terminal. I can only assume the block fits to the edge of the pcb since there are no installed photos. That measurement will be close enough for what I need.

Sorry I was out for the weekend.
 
Since I don't have any of those blocks in hands, I can't measure them. Sorry again.

This forum again not notifying me of reply's lol.
You don't have a 1080 FTW block to measure?

I don't buy all the blocks that we release...sorry

Guys,

I asked Jacob on twitter about an EVGA block for the classified and he has confirmed they will be releasing on. Also power adapter availability in October.

What's the power adapter?

You can see it here.

Moves the two (2) eight pins to the back side of the gpu so its a cleaner look.

Let's see some pics please! So you used .5mm pads for vram and 1.0mm pads for the power reg?

So someone from EVGA confirmed waterblock for the Classified ? Which firma makes it ?

Yes.  As I said Jacob has confirmed a waterblock for the Classy.  I don't work for EVGA so I have no idea who is making the block.  I am going to go out on a limb and say it is EK large in part because they wouldn't put out a comment essentially indicating demand would be low if they sold it straight from their website.

Oh I assumed since you were here with EK you worked for EK and were located with them. Hence the thought you had them on hand or at least the model used in a light box for the pre order news release and the store page. Oh well it appears the 60* will work out pretty dang good by holding them up against my side window "GUESSING" where the G1/4 ports will line up in relation to my current 290X. Should look much better then what I have going on currently anyway with a 45* from my gpu block to a straight in my Kryo M.2 ssd block in a tight space.
