got myself 2 EK blocks for the 2 FE's i'm about to have come friday....first 1080ti from newegg arrived today....all it'll do is folding for the moment, dont have want to take my 980ti hC's appart until all my WC components are here...so second one will probably do the same thing once it gets here.  Now to wait for the preorder for the FTW3 blocks ^_^.

Then just get this one EK-FC Titan X Pascal  [3831109831663]

Aesthetically I prefer the ti card and prefer it moreso than I care about the copper block. But my preference would be a copper ti. (I know, silly preferences)

Copper FTW.
Because nickel flakes... here we go...
 
Any word on the copper blocks?

Same Metal Block as the Titan X (Pascal) EK Block.
Added some features that add a cost and most would remove if using the EK SLI Water Block.
  
 
Coming Soon  Video card: EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti FTW3 Gaming 11GB GDDR5X (11G-P4-6696)         
Late May ’17

Actually, the top that says GTX 1080 Ti can be place over the SLI Water Block; it is separate. You can just remove the hose adapters below it and place the "SLI Water Block"

That is why I said they are a waste for users who a going SLI.

Meaning you can still place the cover above... don't have to remove it. You are saying it needs to be removed.

So interestingly, the 1080 ti says that the left side of the block should be used as an inlet port and the right side as an outlet port. This was not the case for the Titan X or the 1080 blocks, which both said "you can use any opening as an inlet/outlet port. Any guess at the reason for the difference?

In general you can use either or but they basically are saying to let the liquid get to the GPU first before going to the VRMs and the rest.

yea, thats why I didn't order the titan xp blocks, wanted to wait for 1080ti specific blocks, so now hopefully they ship out on the 12th like EK said they would. Then again, the only card that EK physically tests with is the Nvidia FE, everyone other card is by visual inspection so there's still that 1% that they "may" not be 100% =P.

Correct me if I am wrong, but you wouldn't use a terminal with the new Ti blocks would you?

I makes a Difference with the EK SLI Water Block

 
See https://www.ekwb.com/shop/EK-IM/EK-IM-3831109856932.pdf for Ins and Outs
The Block above is the EK-FC BRIDGE TRIPLE Serial

This is a limitation of the bridge though, not the block. Whereas, the 1080 ti block instructions (vs the 1080 and titan x instructions) say that the flow has to be left to right for best performance.

Anyways, it's an interesting point and one I hadn't considered previously. In all likelihood I will continue to run my blocks right to left in parallel.

To Note:
The EK-FC BRIDGE TRIPLE Serial for (Serial) use is the same for the EK 1080Ti FE Water Block.

Agree with you 100%. I don't use an SLI block and won't use one with my ti's. But if you do use one this should be noted.

Also worth noting is that the dual serial SLI block in your picture would actually be a less efficient setup according to the ti manual.
