SLI water cooling

was looking on DangerDen and saw a water cooling block that are made for the 6800s. On that page it says known to work on Asus Motherboards. Shouldn't it work on other board since the slots in the back to the case are standared. So if say MSI moved the PCIE farther apart they will not line up with the case. So shouldn't they work on all bosrds then?

its probably stated about ASUS due to capacitor placement reasons..

I have no clue what you are asking. Can you be a little more clearer. Are you asking about 6800 coolers or Asus NB coolers for the SLI boards?

Asus spaces theres out one more 'slot' than normal. Theres two in between, as opposed to one with the other boards, thats why its different. They line up with the case because the Asus board spaces its SLI one more whole-slot-on-the-back-of-the-case differently.

Asus (all PCI-E x) 16-1-1-16

The rest (all PCI-E x) 16-1-16

Thats your prob. Just make sure, if you get a non asus, that it's 1 space dif, not 2.
