I currently have 2 EVGA Gtx 670 gpus running in SLI which are watercooled using EK Waterblocks (I built the rig 6 years ago).
When I got around to cooling my cards only 2-3 years ago, it was hard to find blocks for the 670s because the 900 series cards were most current. Due to the fact that the PCB layout had not changed from the 670s to the 970s, I was able to purchase the EK-FC970 GTX waterblocks and they were fully compatible.
My question is, can I re-use these same blocks on the GTX 1080 line? I believe the 1080s have the same PCB layout. I checked the compatibility list for on EKWB and the 1080 is not listed on the EK-FC970 but that seems to be because they dont list forward compatibility on their parts, only backward.
Also, when looking at the compatibility on the EK-FC1080, it lists both the 1080, and the 1070 line. This leads me to believe that since the PCB layout hasnt changed and is interchangeable between the 1080 and 1070 line, my 970 block should work on a 1080.
I already reached out to EKWB but as you may know, their blocks are great, their customer service is poor.
Let me know guys. Thanks
