They may not. Going by the aftermarket EK waterblocks. The EK-FC770 only works on Palit and Gainward custom PCB design. So the Gainward is not using a reference layout and/or parts. Although that may only affect specific models. Likely not as they have none on the reference waterblock list.

Gigabyte also appears to use a non-reference PCB. As the reference waterblock does not list compatibility with any Gigabyte card.

If you are lucky it fits or just needs minor work to fit. Such as buying new thermal pads and placing them correctly.
