    It fits, there are plenty of people who have done it. You may want a better fan and some heatsinks on the memory and VRMs though.

    If u go to the websight www.nzxt.com and look up the g10 u will see that the 780ti classified is not listed as supported. Only ref size cards are listed and as I said the 780ti classified is LARGER, u than the ref cards u can check that out on the evga sight. But hey if "people" have done it im sure it will work just fine

    I'm new to this whole thing. Where do you get heatsinks for memory and VRM?

    I know people recommend these: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835708012
     
    I might get a set for my KPEs- the EK block does not cover some components that get pretty hot when benching.

    It works just fine on the classified. However you definitely will want something on the vrm's and memory if you are looking to overclock. You can also modify the support plate from the original heatsink to allow the g10 to fit over it (Slight bit of cutting to the plate, but voids warranty).
     
    The g10 doesn't go around the card so it could care less what size it is. It holds itself by attaching to the same four holes that the normal acx heatsink attaches to.  It also fits the lightning just fine even though it's a big card too.

    Is it possible to purchase an acx cooler for the 780 classified so that you could have a unmodified one to put back on the card for resale/warranty?

    Why would you have to modify the stock cooler for the NZXT G10 aftermarket cooling solution?

    The classified has a plate on the front which acts as a heatsink for the ram and vrm but it has these little posts around the gpu area which interfere with the kraken g10/aio mounting. You can get around this by either removing the plate or cutting the posts. I assume cutting the posts pretty much screws you if you need to rma the card or resell it with the original cooler. 
     
    I do wonder however if this can all be fixed with a copper shim. I bet that would allow the whole thing to be mounted without cutting the posts or removing the heatsink plate.
     
    edited because I cannot post links.

    My G10 for 780FTW will be arrived in several days.
    Maybe I can post some pics later to show the compatibility

    Im also going to be cooling my 780sc with the g10 and a h55. I also would like to use the baseplate. I pm jacob to see if there is anyway to just buy the baseplate or maybe he would just give a freebee! LOL i can dream. On a side note I will also be using the back heatsink off of my artic cooling turbo 3. It will cool the memory and vrm from the back side. Its one giant heatsink and kinda looks cool to. Also has a gpu suport bracket I will be using. I will post pics when i get it all together. But I would also like to use the baseplate from the acx for more support, protection, and cooling. so heres hoping to getting a one from jacob.
