I'm also running 2x 1080 strix on my R5E for about 3 weeks now both of them with EK blocks installed. Had issues initially when my cards were hitting 98c causing my system to crash and I found out that thermal paste wasn't applied properly. Started a thread here as well: http://rog.asus.com/forum/showthread.php?88749-Defective-Strix1080
what type of power supply are you running on ? What type of temperatures are you getting on air and on water cooling ?
which slots are the 2 cards using ? *

Are you saying you also bought the Ek backplate? Sounds like the back plate is shorting your video card, causing the card not to boot.
Be sure to ensure that you are not over tightening the screws, as it will cause the PCB to warp which causes all types of weird issues.
Why don't you try running the cards with just the waterblock without the Ek back plate and see how it works out?
