    EK GPU FC bridge with different water blocks?

    can i use this bridge with different water blocks? i'm talking about the GTX580 block, and the GTX470 block, both in reference PCB.
    the G1\4" holes will be aligned ?

    this is correct too for the Aquacomputer water blocks?

    the issue is i want water cool my 580SLI, and i'm planing to get used GTX470 for physics.
    and, i need to know which blocks to pick.
    thanks.

    Not exactly sure what you mean, but if you plan to use the EK bridge or links with lets say a Koolance, Swiftech or any other non-EK block - forget it. They are not threaded G1/4, just milled. That means that they are depending on three M4 screws from Bridge to Link, and then three screws through the Link directly into the GPU block, which only EK blocks fit.

    Sorry if I misunderstood!

    im not talking about the links between the bridge and the block.

    lets say that the distance between the bridge and the PCI slots is X cm, when its connected to the 580 cards,
    if i'll install the 470 card, he will be connect-able to the bridge? or the distance if different?

    As far as I know they dont align between different block models. You would be better off asking EK this though via a support ticket really as theyre the only ones who will know for sure if your particular blocks will align correctly.
