First of all this is my first post, have been a YouTube fan for as long as I can remember but only recently signed to the forum cos every question I had someone here had already answered it so thanks guys :)

Anyhow....

I have a gainward gtx 560 ti phantom 2 and I've just switched to water cooling, I've been looking high and low for a block for it an think I may have found one that will fit but I would like a bit of advice before I buy
The block is this one

http://www.watercoolinguk.co.uk/p/EK-Water-Blocks-EK-FC460-GTX-GSSONIC-AcetalEN-Nickel_19768.html

And it needs to fit this

The answers I need are,
Will it fit?
Will it cover/cool whole pcb
If not anyone know a block that will

Need anymore info about anything just ask

Thanks in advance
 
you linked a 460 water block i doubt it will fit as things changed on the series.

well I stand corrected EK cooling configurator show its for a 560ti but it doesnt say phantom 2 so no real way of knowing

the cooling config is where i got the idea when i put all of the cards details in it showed a pic of the phantom 2 but i had the same reaction as yourself about it being a 460 block thats why i posted here for advice as i never used the config tool before and dont know how accurate it is,
has any one ever used it before and was it right i dont really want to spend 70 quid on a "but it said it would fit" and find out that its only ever right 15% of the time if you know what i mean
 
Between the 460 the block is for and the phantom the only card component difference from the looks of it is the phantom has an extra vrm/power phase, and as the waterblock just has a raised section going down over them it shouldnt cause an issue, overlayed the layout on them is identical other than that.

The EK cooling configurator is accurate however you can contact EK via E-mail for confirmation.

Go on this page:

Click on Niko Tivadar to directly e-mail him, he is the guy who designs the waterblocks. I think he will be in the best position to give you the info's you need.
