Reference cooler compatibility

I'm wondering what non-reference coolers would work on a reference design graphics. If anything I'd like to know if an EVGA superclocked cooler for a 780 fit on my 100% reference 780.

 

edit:Just found out its a Classified cooler.

My System Specs: (Short list) i7 4770k, GTX 780, many SSD's, a 2 TB HDD(deceased :( ), Corsair 650D. Full list: http://pcpartpicker.com/user/kchriz6097/saved/8dh7YJ

Upgrade Plan: Acquire some Black Noctuas then add 16 or 32GB of 2133MHz memory

Almost all aftermarket coolers, Arctic , waterblocks, nzxt kraken.

Maybe I didn't phrase it correctly, The coolers Im talking about are the actual coolers from Asus or EVGA cards leftover after someone water cools it. Also would there be any way to directly cool the VRM or vRAM?

Oh sorry, well if they are from a card with a refrence board they should fit.

i beleive the EVGA cooler should fit because they use refrence boards.

I'm more curious about the heat plate that is used to cool the PCB. It looks like it is reference but I can't be sure.
