Asus DirectCU II GTX 770 Waterblock?

[Grovattek]

Hello, I ordered an XSPC kit for my computer to start an open loop.

I am new to this so I figured, I'd put some money out there and get something mid ranged.

I bought a Dual bay rad with a D5 Pump, a AX240 Rad, and a Raystorm CPU Block

The one thing I noticed is that the XSPC water block for the 770 does not fit my card.

Now I Looked at EK and it appears that they have one that will fit my card.

Is it possible to mix and match brands, or are they not compatible?

I tried to find some other 770 water blocks for Asus but no luck.

You would think XSPC would make a water block compatible with companies like Asus, Gigabyte, MSI, etc...

So anyone let me know if there are any solutions to my problem, or if I can just use the EK block.

You can mix and match brands, just make sure the fittings are the same size

I'm sure I'm way too late on this post but I, as well am looking for a water block to fit my gtx 770 dcII card. However, I have the shorter card and there doesn't seem to be a block that fits it. I tried alphacool's block for the 670 that I was told would work... no, I also tried the ekwb 770 dcII but that is for the longer card. If you find one please respond so I can test it out.
Thanks.
