1080/1070 Water-Blocks

[positivePXL]

So, plenty of people throwing speculation out, they're building systems already, trying to figure out the Founders Edition Cards, etc.  etc. 

 

While people are worried about when their 1080/1070 will arrive in the mail, I'm only interested in when EK and other companies will release a water-block for these cards?

 

Naturally, custom PCB's and custom cooler's aren't going to be coming out for a while, but when I get my shiny new pascal card, I'll want it to stay nice and chilly, even if Nvidia is advertising them as running at 67^o at insane overclocks. So, I wasn't going to do this before, but it seems that now, I will be forced to build a water-cooling loop for new PC.

darn shucks.

 

So, when do you guys think?

With the price point and comparisons they've received compared to the 9xx line, I could imagine a release almost instantly.

EK are indeed working on a waterblock for the card. 

 

They want to try and get it released in time for the GTX 1080 launch. http://www.overclock.net/t/993624/ek-club/15510#post_25143064

Board partner coolers (maybe not PCBs) are likely to be available from launch. Founder's edition is the reference card, but has a higher MSRP than board partner cards. 

EKWB is working on blocks, but haven't announced when it will be available. Maybe in June.

If MSI has their custom 1070 out at launch day, the red one, I'll just get that one instead, It'll match the theme of my build. If it isn't, I'll just paint my radiator red.

The founders edition 1070s and 1080s will be no different than the gpus asus, gigabyte, evga, etc will make. They simply took the world "reference" and turned it into "founders edition." So a founders edition gtx 1080 is just the reference version.
