Unfortunately I had a leak and one of my cards burned or both I didn't check the other one.

Anyway both of my cards are(were) water-cooled and both have slightly different blocks but it works. The first one was designed specifically for the Titan and the other slightly longer was marked as a FC block for the 780Ti but it works with the Titan. So they didn't change the stock coolers and the position of the mounting holes is it still the case with the 980 TI? It uses the same cooler(almost) so there is a chance. Are the mounting holes the same?
ps. The block are EK FC.

How did you get a leak? If I lost a 980ti to a leak, I'd just die. What a devastating blow. Sorry to hear that. Anyway, I don't think the blocks are compatible from what I've heard unfortunately.

Well, the tubing failed. The rubber became deformed and decolored and it leaked the coolant.

Lepton87, sorry to hear of your loss. The GTX980 TI uses the EK Titan X water block, NOT the Titan waterblock. Check the EK compatability page for specific GTX980TI models.

Lepton87, did you use compression fittings or did you use barb fittings without clamps?
