Sale on EKWB Need Advice on if Block will fit my EVGA GTX 970

[Viddiecent]

Hey Guys,

I have a EVGA GeForce GTX 970 SuperClocked ACX 2.0 4GB GDDR5 (04G-P4-2974)

I saw that EK has a Sale and saw that they still have a 970 Block for sale ( the EK-FC970-GTX).

 

The compatibility under their configurator says my card isn't compatible but after comparing pictures of each the boards look identical apart from the fact mine has an additional heat sink. as seen below:

 

My card: (04G-P4-2974)

 

VS a similar compatible one: (04G-P4-0972)

 

 

I already have everything else I need to upgrade and I doubt i'll be upgrading GPU's anytime soon so its a worthwhile upgrade.

 

Just thought i'd ask the community and see what everyone else thinks?

 

(Edit: Looking at that heat-sink it looks removable. so im guessing i'd need a different back plate?)

 

Cheers
