I think dissection would be a better name, not Autopsy.  Unless you're trying to find the cause of death of the Hydro-copper waterblock.

Pretty neat.  I think I misunderstood about the fittings.  I run 3/8 ID 5/8 OD compressions...those available?
 
I like the looks of the block.  Great job guys:)

I'm glad I decided not to jump right on the release 680 now, not that I had much choice as the only store that sells things at a half decent price in my country isn't stocking EVGA yet. I think I'm going to hold off until July and grab two HC 4GB editions then step up if GK110 comes out within step up period.

Doesn't look as good as the EK and Aquagrafx blocks. Also, why include the 3/8 ID - 1/2 OD fittings instead of 5/8 OD, cause most people use thick-walled tubing?

No prob! Of course you can use your own compressions. They just include those for free. :)

Word.  I liked the idea of having those, but it's all good.  I'll use those monsoon ones I picked up.
 
That water bridge looks pretty keen too.

"Autopsy"?, does that means that the waterblock in the pictures stopped working properly and died?.
 
Meanwhile, I'm really looking forward to get a pair of HydroCopper Classified's when they come out!.

Hello guys,
First post here but long time Evga product user. Anyways the question. Do you guys plan on using on the non-ref cards like the 8 phase FTW and 14 phase Classified cards a non-stacked power connector? Would like to go with water blocks and well hmm that stacked connector is hmm horrible looking.

I hope the FTW with 4GB is on a reference PCB so blocks will work on those also.

I hate to "ruin a party" but why do you guys at EVGA insist on using Swiftech to produce your blocks? I'd be ashamed to even open up the inside of one of those to show. Seriously low quality. The level of craftsmanship on these things is horrible. They only sell because they show off the EVGA logo - for anyone who is serious about watercooling however, buy another brand waterblock.

I'd love to buy one of these cards if they at least let someone else produce blocks one of these days. So convenient and easy to buy one pre-installed, and warrantied. Why not at least EK or at minimum Koolance? Anything other than these cheaply made Swiftech blocks.  Next time.... please no more  I'd be willing to pay extra for a better quality pre-installed block.

Jacob, do you guys plan to offer the fittings as a seperate purchase? I am in the process of putting a loop together, and would much rather have EVGA branded fittings for the build Im doing(soon.)

those who will buy 3 or 4 at one time, u're greedy. eVGA should limit the purchase to 2 per person due to limited quantity. Heck, I only need 1 and chances are it'll be sold out within seconds once it's out.

This is likely, we have discussed it before internally and I think its a good idea. BTW what sizes would you be interested in?

Can someone take a pic of the fittings with the compression rings removed?  I want to take a look at the barb.  So far the ring looks like the Koolance design, I am hoping  the barb is like the double barb design of the Koolance also, which means better tubing seal.

Will the 8 Pinners serve any purpose? better overclock perhaps?

 
more then likely yes, I even had a couple GTS 250's that were 8 pin for that reason.

They maybe for friends too not just for the person buying them.
 
if I had that kinda money to blow I would probably do the same thing for the same reason.

The EVGA GeForce GTX 680 Hydro Copper is almost here, so lets open it up!

 
will the hydro copper version be available from Amazon as well? Like on the same day as eVGA.

I'm going to make a guess and say yes because the GTX580 Classified is on there.

But I don't remember seeing either GTX 480 or GTX 580 Hydro Copper on Amazon last time...I mean on the same day or at least on the same week as eVGA.
