I don't think so makes a block for the sc cards. I'd check on ekwb first.

Well on their site EKWB for the A240G is listed as compatible with 1080 Ti SC2 HydroCopper also and other 1080 Ti models including the 1080 Ti icx SC. Also a very kind EVGA customer support reported me a list of all models with a reference PCB and here they are:

Below are the cards that have the reference PCB as they all will work with our reference water-block for the GTX 1080 Ti.
EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti FOUNDERS EDITION, 11G-P4-6390, 11GB GDDR5X

Thank you very much for pointing out. I just wanted to compare as much informations as possible before going on with the purchase.

I can only recommend the EVGA 1080Ti FTW3 Hybrid. It isn't a basic 1080. It isn't just a 3 fan 1080 Ti FTW3. This is a beast of a 1080 Ti. It's crammed with cooling benefits. The most obvious is the radiator. It comes with an integrated 120mm AIO liquid cooling system. Want to change the fan/radiator? The connector is exposed. But I said beast didn't I. When I think of a beast I think of Asus Strix. Let's compare
 
 Asus ROG Strix GTX 1080 Ti OC http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/asus-rog-strix-geforce-gtx-1080-ti-oc,5225-5.html 73C max.
 
EVGA GTX 1080 Ti FTW3 Hybrid  46C max. 
 
The RGB lighting is so very customizable. From the little G(GPU)P(power)M(memory) to the bigger RGB elements the user can make this card match any PC color theme out there. They could turn them off as well. Such a beautifully over-engineered card. They placed thermal tape where it really isn't NEEDED but it still helps. Those who sent EVGA those bad VRM's lit a fire under EVGA's backside. They've came back from that debacle cooler than ever. Well done EVGA.

I confess that I'm a bit confused at this point. After digging more in the EKWB the 1080 Ti SC2 Hydro Copper is listed as compatible, yet the 1080 Ti SC2 is not. Don't they have the same PCB?

Yes, they are the same. Clearly ek has made a mistake. #1 Why would you need to purchase a block for a card that already has a block, and #2 the SC2 isn't reference design as the SC2 includes 9 additional thermal sensors, and a safety fuse which the sc black edition doesn't have.

That's exactly what I was thinking in the first place. But an opinion of a more expert person never hurts I guess. Now I know 100% that in a month or so I'll have in my hands the 1080 Ti SC Black Edition Gaming. Thank you so much again for clearifying my doubts.
