I have an EVGA Geforce 660Ti SC 2GB, which has with incredibly loud fans. I'm thinking of replacing the cooling unit with a NZXT Kraken G10 bracket and a NZXT Kraken X41 clc. Other sources say it'll probably fit, but I'd like to be sure before I spend a good $110 only to find out it doesn't work.

There appear to be different versions of this graphics card. To make it all clear, this is a picture of the exact version that I have:

You only need to worry about reference design when it comes to a full cover water block. Typically you don't run into a lot of issues with non-reference PCB and aftermarket coolers, unless they are designed to fit specifically over these components. From what it looks like, those Accellero coolers are just big heatsink fans with stick-on RAMsinks to help cool other components the normal air cooler plate covers and cools.

Thanks for your answer, I will surely look into this. But my real question here is if this graphics card complies with the reference card or if there are any differences that would cause an aftermarket cooling to not fit.
