Will the water blocks for the reference design 680i motherboards also fit a reference design 780i motherboard ? Anyway, I'm talking about the mosfet, SB and NB water blocks.

I mean from pictures alone, both motherboards look around pretty much 80% the same by the design. And I hope the holes are also identical. I saw someone said the stock coolers are no longer clip-ons but screw-ons, true ?

I have the HeatKiller NSB13 for the MCP(SB) and the EK 680i for the SPP(NB), there is also a HeatKiller block for the mosfet but I don't watercooling that part is worth it anyway. Just replacing the stock crappy rubber kinda thermal pad with ASceramique has done enough for me. But I'm just waiting for a Thermalright mosfet cooler for the reference 680i, and I'm also worried if that won't be compatible with the reference 780i motherboards.

But the point is, are all the blocks for 680i compatible with the reference 780i motherboards ?
 
over at evga forums a few people stated the 680i mosfet block will not fit on the 780i
