Will there be a Hydro Copper Version of the 690? and if so When?

yes,  ~ a month - based upon availability of the waterblocks

upstair, how much ?

I would be guessing, so I'd go with around what 680s go far but these are limited cards, which means less production, so add a little.  No info on price as of yet

thanks, upstairs

hopefully there are many hydrocopper waterblocks available seperately... my 690 that just arrived on my desk at work is begging to be put underwater...

Has it been a month yet?!?

Last time I checked there was only two weeks between May 17th and June 1st.

i Just wish that it lights up like the 680 HC

That was a joke but I appreciate your attention to detail.

ok.. stupid question alert!
 
If i buy the gtx 690 hydro cooper, will it come with fan?
I plan to water cool my system in a year. So now i have a gtx 690 but should i change it when the hydro cooper comes out? Would you suggest using the hydro cooper without actually water cooling it? Will it over heat?

Hydro's don't come with a fan. You should not run it without watercooling as it is required. Get a 690, buy a block when you are ready to water cool it, or wait and buy a 690 Hydro when you move to water. The 680 HC has gotten to the point of they dont know when or if they will have stock. I'm not sure how the 690 with preinstalled blocks will fare.

Hydro copper without water cooling it?
Lol
Please google how to setup watercooling system for a pc.
It will blow your mind

If i'm not overclocking , just the original fan should suffice right? Say in a country like Thailand or Singapore where it is slightly more hot and humid

Yes it should
Nice to know you
:)
If you ever need guidance on setting up your watercooling system feel free to ask.
Cheers

My comment is if the 690 waterblock by evga is powered by swiftech, and swiftech likes to put their backplates on their blocks ie. the 7970 has both a backplate and block, couldn't evga bundle the backplate with the block at little or no extra charge?
7970 example: http://www.swiftech.com/KOMODO-HD7900.aspx
 

Come on water blocks!!! Not being able to overclock my 690 gtx is getting boring!!

Is there a backplate to go alongside the hydrocopper block?

You should be able to oc them as is. You're not having any luck? Most on the forums are able to get theirs up from 915 stock to 1200.

They throttle when you hit over 70 degrees back to stock. And I'm between 70-80 on any application due to bad airflow. All my fans are on my radiators except for 1 which doesn't cut it.

Did u guys see that it's available now?
Idiots

I see the 690 waterblock online at EVGA has a power plug ... i guess to light it up ... but what lights up? ... JUST the EVGA logo or the entire reading area?

no idea... wish there was an actual announcement... and such... anyways ordered mine. should have it sometime next week. 

I'm not going to order mine till they release the backplate so i can try and save a few bucks on shipping. Unless they make the backplate standard on future cards and us early adopters get it for free provided evga goes for that idea :-)

The plug is to light up the eVGA logo in red ONLY

Are the blocks available anywhere other than evga atm?  I only have PP.

Hey now, be nice 
 
 
They JUST put it up on the website. Now if we can only get a backplate for this sucker. I'd imagine it'd be a nightmare to try to install a backplate onto this card when (edit: after) its all watered up in your system.
 
Actually, is it even possible to install a backplate with w/o taking it or taking off the waterblock?
 
EDIT: Where the hell is my backplate?! I can't install this without the backplate!
