970 waterblocks

[Atterae]

Hey guys, holidays are coming and I am probably gonna upgrade my whole system and especially my 680. I am gonna go with a 970 most likely but I'm also planning full watercooling and am really interested in when the 970 waterblocks come out. Does anyone has an idea?

Aren't they already released?

check out ekwb.com. I think the 770 EK blocks are also compatible with the 970 (reference only)

Check out the compatibility feature on their website to make sure.

Yea, the 670 should fit, but i like to use actual 970 blocks. I dont have the card yet so i got the time to wait. I just found a source claiming they should be available for selling next wednesday but yea, that's just 1 source

As mentioned on the other 970 thread in this section: the only known company to release a native 970 waterblock at this time are watercool - a.k.a heatkiller.

Be sure to check their compatibility pdf prior to purchase, as it is for reference 970's only, to the best of my knowledge.

As for ekwb, they have been claiming that their 970 block is coming soon, for around 6 weeks now. Personally, I think that is just their way of saying "it's coming, but we don't know when. "
