GTX 690 block in the works?

[ohms]

Like the title says, will any company make a block for the Geforce GTX 690? I'm thinking of buying 1 or 2 of these and I definitely want them under water.

I wonder what display setup you might have for their resolution to need 2 of those for quad sli .
I'm pretty sure in few months we'll see 690 blocks from most of major vendors, EK, Swiftech (probably only preinstalled with EVGA cards), Koolance, DD, Aquacomputer, XSPC, Watercool, MIPS, Bitspower and so on ..
Even though 690 predictably will be produced/sold in small numbers, to make blocks for it imho is mater of prestige, so with 90% probability they will be out there, especially when such blocks had been made for older dual gpu cards like 590/5970/6990. Just wait a bit.
EDIT
Meanwhile announcements are already out from EK, Koolance.

Well I currently run at 2560x1600 resolution on a 30" but I also have (3) Asus 24" LCDs collecting dust that I used to use for my Eyefinity setup.

Current (well it's not quite current, I swapped out my Cinema Display LCD panel into my broken Dell 3007WFP).

Here is a review on the VGA card from Tom's. The 690 alone is $1000 US or 2x the 680. Will that change usual time-frame for blocks to appear?

Thanks but I'm fully aware of how the card performs already I was just trying to see if this was something the water block manufacturers were going to make blocks for since it's more of a hard core enthusiast item.

Major suppliers have always made blocks for these cards, don't see why this would be an exception.

i've seen remarks from koolance and EK stating they will have blocks for the 690 - haven't seen anything from the other big manufacterers, but i'm sure they will have something also. i am also looking for one (assuming i can ever actually FIND a real life gtx690) so i hope sooner rather than later

I ended up buying 2 670 Superclocked Editions since there were no 690s left in stock But thanks for the update Tim.

Koolance released the 690 bloc.

"not in stock" ....anywhere....

[Shoggy]

Took a while this time but our block is also ready now.

[LeoAndrade]

awesome block! I like the "parallel" setup of the internals.

[Conumdrum]

Nice Tim! I like your blocks, no issues with the dreaded flaking. Using two 470 blocks long time and still working great. And your customer service for rebuild oring packs was awesome.

[anzial]

Any blocks in stock anywhere?

[NKrader]

awesome block! I like the "parallel" setup of the internals.

yes very nice, aq always the best

[juanP]

yeah i liked the aqua blocks too, ordered them a month ago , never got them till date. need to file a complaint for refund. no more aqua stuff for me.


went and bought koolance block, really happy with it.

i ended up with koolance as well. not a big fan of nickel plating, but it was the *only* option at the time. no offense to koolance, but i had hoped to get an EK to match my other blocks (MB and CPU). it works well as far as i can tell - keeping both cores under 50C while under heavy loads. if it matched my other (full copper) blocks it would be perfect
