For the first time ever, the EK-FC980 GTX water block features a central inlet split-flow cooling engine design - just like with the flagship EK-Supremacy EVO CPU water block - for best possible cooling performance. Such type of heat exchanger also works flawlessly with reversed water flow without adversely affecting the cooling performance. Moreover this radical design offers great hydraulic perfromance allowing this product to be used in liquid cooling systems using weaker water pumps.

I have the Supremacy Evo and personally, I am glad to see the split inlet flow making it to GPU blocks as well now. With reports of these cards hitting 1400+ MHz core on air, I can't wait to see how these perform under water.

Edit: Daaaaaaaarn these look good

they do look great. but why don't they do full cover blocks like for the 780ti/titan black/780?
 
Surprised it's taken this long really. We have had this sort of thing in universal blocks for years and most are just a adaption of the cpu blocks. That does look extremely restrictive though.
 
Aye, restriction looks to be higher but the previous blocks were very low on restriction already. Don't think it would do anything to a decent pump.
