I bought a MSI gtx 780 TI gaming GPU befoer i decided to Water cool. I orered the water block but didnt think about if it would work for a non refrence card.

Any one have a clue if it will work or not?

I may be able to sale it to my son for less than I payed for it if wont work but I hope that I wont have a problem.

It depends on the PCB design. There's usually full coverage waterblocks made for the non-reference cards as well. To my knowledge, the "gaming" is a reference PCB design, so should work with a full coverage waterblock designed for a reference card. I guess there's only way to find out, and you've already ordered the waterblock. If it doesn't fit, then you can re-attach the cooler and sell it.

I sure hope it works, I went threw four Mother boards befoire i found one that would work, tried MSI 2 times Gigabite 1 time and back to using Asus again should of went with them first.
I keep have to work on my days off most of the time, have 3 days of my vacation next week. I hope that it all goes good. dont want to send anything back or have to sale anything to buy somthing else.
Just want it all to work lol.

What waterblock did you order? Check the waterblock manufacturer's website for compatability.
