Evga Announces Liquid-cooled GTX 780 HydroCopper
Evga has added two new graphics cards to its lineup of HydroCopper graphics cards.
Evga has announced the arrival of its HydroCopper version of the GeForce GTX 780 graphics card. The HydroCopper series graphics cards from Evga are always based on the highest-end card from the lineup and feature a water block that is built by Swiftech. Of course, the card cannot be used by itself and needs an existing water cooling loop to remain operational.
Evga has announced two versions: the standard version and the Classified version. It has given us a base clock speed of 980 MHz and a Boost speed of 1033 MHz for the standard versions. The speeds for the Classified HydroCopper GTX 780 still have to be announced. We can expect them to be a bit over the 1.0 GHz mark, though. Included with the cards are matching fittings, so you won't have to cherry pick the ones with a similar color design. They work with 3/8-inch and 1/2-inch tubing.
You also won't be missing out on the glowing logo on the side of the card, although it has been replaced by a glowing logo of Evga instead of a text showing "GTX 780."
The company has given no word on pricing or availability.

Do you have a good insurance company? Because if you have State Farm, I don't think they will be a good neighbor when your computer hits 200C!
But, I'd be lying if I said I didn't want to replace my WC'd 680 with one.
I've been lamenting that for a long time now. If they made a water cooled 780 with fewer ports but a single slot, I would buy it in an instant.

I agree with you. I think they need to release WC cards with single slot by eliminating the need for HDMI and thus placing a DL-DVI port next to the DP. I returned my eVGA GTX 780 stock edition for the Hydro Copper which should be here soon. I did the math of buying my own block with fittings and it came to the same price. So I just opted for their pre-made WC card. I can't wait.
It wouldn't even need to go that far - I'm staring at my 670 right now, and it has a full size DP, hdmi, and DL-DVI all in a row; the other side is used for cooling and another DL-DVI. (For a single card, you'd need the room of the HDMI to have cooling ports, but since we're talking about a watercooled card...)
