Just bought a really nice MSI GTX 560 Ti Twin Frozr II and there is a compatibility issue with the EK motherboard waterblock on my EVGA x58 Classified sli motherboard.
Basically the VR heatsinks on the 560ti hang slightly over the edge of the card as it is sort of a clip. see pic bellow.
From what i noticed about my previous graphics card on there is that card itself sits almost flush against the EK WB.
So i'm just wondering if anyone has had compatibility / height issues with graphic cards before with this waterblock.
Id rather not cut the thing as I dont have the tools to do so.
Any ideas?
