So I'm becoming increasingly impatient trying to find a waterblock for my GPU. I am sitting here with everything else to set up my loop for the last 2 weeks expect my GPU block. Originally I was planning on cooling my GTX 970 FTW from EVGA, I started my EVGA step up program to upgrade to the 980, cost me only around $160, not bad considering I don't plan to upgrade for a while. I did this because I'm not planning to upgrade for a while and there are no waterblocks for my GTX 970. I have been really wanting to get a block from EK waterblocks, I really like the looks but it's not working out.

 

Here will be my card when it arrives: http://www.coolingconfigurator.com/step1_complist?gpu_gpus=1514

 

Those are the options available from EK. It seems they are out of stock of everything. Anyways I'm just getting a bit frustrated, preferably I wanted the Acetal or Acetal+Nickel block. Are there any other companies that I could look at? Seems like they are have been out of stock for like a month, I just want to setup my loop and am getting pretty frustrated. EVGA hydro copper block is also out of stock...

 

Can I look elsewhere, how long will it take for these to come back in?

Bless your heart, I think I found one. But most sites are pretty out of stock too tbh. Found the one I wanted though so thanks. Now I just have to wait for this step up program from EVGA. Who knows how long that will take.

Yep but now I can't find the blackplate anywhere...the struggle continues...would cost me almost as much as the backplat costs itself for shipping to buy it from EK.
