Waterblocks for non-reference GTX 680?

[muppenz]

Are there still no waterblocks to any non-reference GTX 680 designs? I read on Ekwaterblocks.com about an upcoming version for the Asus DCII, but that was three weeks ago, and still no blocks in sight. Does any representative from Koolance, Aquagrafx or EK read these boards have any more insight on the matter?

I was still operating under the idea that it was basically impossible to buy any 6 series card right now, unless you're bloody lucky.

There are some available in retail here in Sweden, but I was thinking in the lines of preordering one of the non-reference overclocked ones so I can get it in a couple of weeks. Problem is that there's been little mention of any waterblocks for any non-reference waterblocks, so it's either buying a reference card, or hoping EK releases one for say DCII, which is a rather large risk without being sure if I can watercool it.

ASUS already plays with our EK-FC680GTX DCII samples. Other than than the EK water block for ASUS 680 GTX DirectCU II graphics card will be readily available for purchase in 10-14 days.

newegg had 680's for about 2-3 days (i know because i've been waiting for a 690....and i'm still waiting). i almost bought 2 of them rather than continue waiting for the 690 - especially considering the lack of options for water blocks for the 690.
