EK Waterblocks announced it's developing waterblocks for two custom GeForce GTX 780 graphics cards; the MSI GeForce GTX 780 Lightning and the EVGA GeForce GTX 780 Classified. Shipments will start in the first half of September.
EK Water Blocks, Ljubljana based premium water cooling gear manufacturer, is working on two new Full Cover water blocks for MSI- and EVGA customized PCB design NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 780 series graphics cards, namely for the upcoming MSI N780GTX Lightning and recently launched EVGA 780 GTX Classified (03G-P4-3788) graphics cards.

The upcoming EK-FC780 GTX Lightning is a Full Cover water block engineered in cooperation with MSI specifically for the upcoming flagship performance N780GTX Lightning GeForce® GTX 780 graphics card. This product will directly cool the GPU, RAM as well as VRM (voltage regulation module) as water will flow directly over these critical areas thus allowing the graphics card and it's VRM to remain stable under high overclocks.

The upcoming EK-FC780 GTX Classy is a Full Cover water block designed specifically for EVGA's GeForce® GTX 780 Classified graphics card. This water block will directly cool the GPU, RAM as well as VRM (voltage regulation module) as water will flow directly over these critical areas thus allowing the graphics card and it's VRM to remain stable under high overclocks.

Both water blocks will feature side-attached Terminal port system - up to four water blocks could be used on a single ATX form factor motherboard by using EK-FC Terminal (DUAL, TRIPLE or QUAD type) system or other means of interconnectivity.. Both water blocks will also feature a very high flow design allowing the products to be used in liquid cooling systems using weaker water pumps. Due to the non-standardized width of both circuit boards these water blocks will not line up with any other EK Full Cover water block.

The products will be available for purchase through EK Webshop & Partner Reseller Network in first half of September (EK-FC780 GTX Lightning) and by the end of September (EK-FC780 GTX Classy) .
