    Hello folks, i recently bought the GPU in the title with the impression that it was compatible with EK's water blocks. This was an ass-covering exercise for if i come to go for watercooling in the future.
    The coolingconfigurator website says that the 580 blocks will fit the KFA2 GTX570, however the image on that website does not match what the card actually looks like.

    The card i received is this: http://www.kfa2.com/gtx570.shtml

    Does anyone have any ideas as to whether or not the card i have will accept a GTX580 waterblock?

    Thanks in advance!

    If the cooling configurator says it will fit then there should be no problem. If you buy a block on the strength of what they say, you will have good grounds to demand a refund if it doesn't :)

    KFA have different version of cards. Black PCB is reference, other color isn't as far as I can tell.

    I don't think that one is reference.

    Debs3759, good point, might just chance it.
    Lysol, you're right! I've come across the same GPU with different coolers on,

    If any one else has any info/experiences, please share!
    Thank you all!
