680 reference cooler on 580 referemce card

OK, here is the situation. I have a watercooled 580 but I no longer watercool and don't have the stock cooler. I do have the stock cooler from a 680 I used to have. I look at the images;

580

680

I know they are not exactly the same, but it looks like there is enough to secure the cooler to the GPU and RAM with a little modding maybe. Thoughts?

There is literally nothing you can do to make this work besides making the entire thing from scratch.

Board layouts are entirely different. It's not going to work, the VRMs are in different spots for starters, the memory is different, caps are different, etc. It's just not going to happen.
