Hi, I have the gtx 770 hydro copper from evga which I was going to sli with another hydro copper 770 but I can no longer find the card on the market. The 770 that I have has 4GB vram. I have been looking into other 770s which I want to water cool and I found lots but I cannot find a compatible water block for any 4gb gtx 770 that I found. Anything you guys can suggest?

Thanks :).

While out-of-the-box watercooled GPUs are nice, they are generally overpriced which is why they're not popular. buying a nice, customizable, aftermarket waterblock to bolt to your GPU after properly lapping the heatshield is generally a better way to go.

I am familiar with a lot of sellers like frozencpu, ekwb, performancepcs, and much more. I checked all of them but I could not find a block compatible with a 770 that has 4gb vram, that is what I am looking for.

I'm pretty sure the form factors are the same. You don't need a different waterblock just because you have 4GB vram.

Just like how the Titan and 780Ti share a waterblock. their layout is the same.

Under EK's compatibility list for each of their gpu's it says the cards that are compatible. None of them are 4gb. The overall pcb layout may be the same but there is more ram added, if the block does not cover the extra ram that is an issue.
