With koolance block VID- NX285( i know that isn't good)
but isn't fit correct on my gainward, also i check the web
and i can't find water block to fit correct on this video cards

Do you have any ideas guys??

The biggest problem is the capacitors of the cards. they didn't give the
chance on water block to fit, i need your on experience!!!!!

Thank you in advice...

There are two different versions of cards. The manufacturers started with the Nvidia reference design and blocks were made for that. Then, to save money, some of the card manufacturers went to a different design for the cards which they called version 2 and a new block had to be created for that.

You probably have the wrong block. Look at this picture to determine what version of card you have and then look at your water block and see if it says version 2 or not. You will definitely not be the first person that has done this.
