I Think I've been spending WAY too many hours lately sitting at my Computer looking for the "Latest and Greatest" Components to appear that for whatever reasons are put up for purchase for less than two minutes and then instantly only show the "Auto-Notify" sign before you can finish checking out!
 
After wearing out my keyboard F5 key (not to mention my fingers and my sanity) trying and failing to purchasing at least ONE of the new KPE's in any of the four available(?) ASIC's, I can see where the odds of me personally being able to purchase Four of them (even one at a time) in the same ASIC "range" for a possible 4-Way SLI setup would be Literally Little to None.
 
But As Fate would have it, I now have decided to go a slightly different route in setting up again for 4-Way Benching on my R5E Rig due to the fact that I somehow managed to purchase Four of these instead.........
 

 
The Big Plus about this for me is Not having to find/buy separate Water Blocks anymore, Plus no more disassembling the Air Cooler/installing the Water Block and then re-assembling the Air Cooler on them again when I decide to either sell them or return them for any possible RMA's.
 
I Think it Should make for another interesting Benching Rig Build, Along with Later on switching from Phase Change over to using my Dragon F1 Pot with DICE again and even the possibility getting a "Golden" 5960X Chip that I am presently waiting on.

LOL, Thanks Man.
 
I'll just say Price Wise it was "A Little Bit More than I bargained for", But then these were never very inexpensive cards to begin with! 
 
Also it took me a little while to find them from Three different sources (including the ONLY One that became available on the EVGA Product Page today that I happen to be browsing on) and somehow I managed to find what I needed.
 
The First one will be here tomorrow so I'll be busy re-tubing my Chiller System back to 1/2" hose and then I can do a little testing and get some pics. I'll still have to wait for the other three which will probably arrive sometime Next week.

UPDATE:
I Just Can't Win it seems..........
 
I was JUST informed by the Seller of TWO of the EVGA Titan X Hydro Copper I bought that they are NOT AVAILABLE ANYMORE and had to get a FULL REFUND back to my Paypal account!
 
That REALLY PO's me Badly!

Fortunately (by some miracle) I did manage to find and purchase a third EVGA Titan X Hydro Copper last night, But I STILL need to buy the Fourth card that coincidently is now available AGAIN in the EVGA Products Page.
Unfortunately since I just bought one today from there, I have to wait until tomorrow when EVGA opens at 9:00am PST until they let me buy another one since they only allow "one per household" per day, provided it's still there for sale tomorrow!
 
Jezzzzz......Sometimes I think the Strain is almost too much to bear when you are trying to get what you want.

Thanks Man, It's been a Long Night for me, But This Morning I managed to find and purchase the fourth Card (Last one I needed) from Newegg.
NOW all I have to do is wait for the Refund for the First two to show up in my Paypal Account in order to pay for this one and HOPEFULLY that will End this Merry-go-round Debacle.

At This Point, I...Really...Don't...Care...Anymore , because if they Did "pop up", this would probably be more than likely what would happen:
 
(#1) The KPE's would finally become available for purchase, But again Probably For Less than Two Minutes, (#2) Miraculously I would somehow manage to find FOUR of them in the same ASIC% (Not very Likely), (#3) The Order(s) I made to EVGA would attempt to go through, But the Product Page Website would go down JUST as I was Almost finishing the purchases, And (#4), I STILL would Then have to find FC Water Blocks that would FIT the KPE's, PROVIDED they were available to purchase at the time I needed them!
 
That scenario Just would Not be Worth it to me, Which is the reason I was buying the Four Titan X Hydro Coppers to begin with, Which incidentally ends up being LESS $$$$ than buying Four KPE's plus another Four FC Water Blocks THAT ARE NOT EVEN BEING MADE AVAILABLE OR PRICED YET as stated 6 days ago by EK_Luc.

Still no news about the 980 Ti KPE sorry.

OK, This Morning after yesterday and last night's Fiasco, Everything seems to be fixed as far as purchasing all Four Hydro Coppers I needed for my new 4-Way SLI setup (Thank God ).
 
Moving on, I Just received the First card this morning and took a few pics. I'll try and show some initial testing results once I get everything set up on my Chilled Water System.
