I'm so used to working with Apple that I think everyone else is the same...

Thanks for the info :)

Very nice block and ingenious design Eddy! I don't have a classified, nor do intend to purchase one as I love my RIIE. Having said that, I hope you will consider making a similar design for it. I realize it would be difficult due to the 2 rows of VRM's but if you could pull it off, I don't think you would have any trouble selling the blocks even if they were considerably more expensive than the classified blocks due to the design complexity. I know I would certainly purchase one.

No offense, but please do your research before you go spouting BS like "759 classified is no longer availiable."

The mere fact that it still shows on evga.com/products is proof enough that it has not yet been discontinued; When it ceases to be listed there, expect it to become much harder to find....

BIOS updates for E759 will continue alongside E760. Also, E759 motherboards have been put aside for RMA needs if necessary.

Just because it's a limited edition SKU does NOT mean that it is no longer available. This is all I wished to point out -- not that it won't be going away at some point, but that that time has not yet come.

Your post argued that it hasn't been discontinued.

Read the eVGA quote, it says it was (past tense) a limited edition SKU and some have put a side for RMA's.

They're not going to be making two SKUs for one board are they?

Just because e-tailers have inventory left over from what they originally bought - doesn't mean the product has not been discontinued.

No, I'm arguing that it isn't officially discontinued until it no longer appears on EVGA's products page. It's still on that page, thus it has yet to be discontinued.

This is what I understood by reading the forums @ EVGA, the Classified with the NF200(759) has been discontinued. This means that they have stopped production . Eventhough you can buy the board off of any e-tailer, they are the ones that were already in the channel. Once the stock gets depleted, 760 is the ONLY classifed that anybody would be able to buy. Oh and Please don't shoot the messenger, I am just posting what I read.

So the 760 will be the ONLY Classified SKU once stock of the 759 runs out?

I think not.

LOL, what can I say other than that I am moving on. If you don't want to believe why don't you visit the EVGA forums and find out for yourself.

The 761 is just a 760 with a bundled ECP unit.

Sorry, for my unfortunate original wording. I should have said that the 759 is no longer in production, instead of "no longer available". Obviously it will be "no longer available" when supplies in the retail channel are exhausted.

That's a beautiful looking block. Definitely considering buying one.

Then I'll want to do two separate loops, and need another rad, another pump... *shivers*

Still tempting though.

I'd definitely get one of these when EK brings them out.
Any new updates on the EK Classified full board block?

Here, the first prototype in coper acrylic version.
We will have all blocks nickel plated (sorry, not option for black nickel ATM) and Acrylic or Acetal tops. In each box, there will be Red transparent top Level 2 (classified) enclosed.

Blocks should be available in 7-10 days to purchase.

Great! Awesome block! Congrats to EK, and ... Will there be a nickel-plated version of it? :)

Thanks.
