Cpu block is usually larger than gpu, so even with the mounting plate or custom mounting it might not work. Also cpu block barbs are sraight out while gpus are 90 degree. That way it doesn't block many motherboards slots and allows easier connection for tubing.

Just realize and know that the fuzion GPU block is very, very restrictive. The MCW60 really is the better option to me.

The MCW60 is actually pretty easy to find. Most major E-tailers carrier it.
