Seems a bit late with the ever approaching Polaris / Pascal release doesn't it?
I've been wanting to build my first loop for quite a while now and was thinking about it for my 290x until the whispers of 14nm goodness held the purse-strings tight to avoid spending $120 for short term use.
 
How long are blocks typically in production for? Obviously it would take a little while to design and tool the new products do they just make a heap and when they're gone - they're gone? Or do they keep them in production for a little longer? I want to put my 980s under water but with pascal coming out I'm not sure whether I should get the blocks now and the rest of the loop later or if I can safely wait a while.

Back on topic - nice looking block.
 
Registered after years of lurking to tell you all that I bought a Sapphire Nitro 390x to crossfire with my MSI 390X gaming 12 days ago. The reason being I was worried about two 2.5 slot cards being so close in a Fractal Design Define S.. And then this came out.

That's a bummer dude. In a define S you probably wouldn't need to worry though, has a lot of airflow
 
Yeah, temps aren't bad honestly. It could be quieter though lol

Well that's going to happen when 90% of the side panel is plastic and the roof is all open!:p
I own one too but have it setup pretty well so it's fairly quiet except for my Fury X's fan has some motor noises at certain RPMs so once in a while that's all I hear:D
