Hi,
I am looking into watercooling my Gigabyte GTX 960 4gb G1 Gaming GPU. I was wondering if the waterblock for the 2gb model will work with the 4gb model. Any help is greatly appreciated! :)

The mounting holes are exactly the same.

What about the location of the vram on the pcb?

The same, but there are most likely extra memory chips in the 4GB model.

So will the waterblock be compatible?

Well, which water block?

Ok, I won't watercool the card, I probably couldn't have if I wanted to, seeing that no waterblocks exist for this card.

You'd be better off using that money for a better card to be honest with you.

Precisely because it's a horrible card to watercool :P

The GTX 960 is a cracking card! It just didn't live up to expectations. :')

Why would anyone spend to watercool midrange GPUs?

he has the 4gb version, it has more memory to play with, so a bit better performance

for aesthetics... if you already have a loop

you could always go with those "universal block" like the XSPC Raystorm or the EK-Thermosphere...

I know a guy who is doing a "cheap" water cool build so he uses the cheapest pc parts that look nice, because he has no use for the PC. he just wants to see what he can do by taking his time and making it look the way he wants. too bad he has even finished it in over a year because he ran into issues on his main rig.
