Old Waterblocks on new components?

Hi,

 

I have watercooling components from my last build (from 2013) and am wondering if I can re-use them for my new one. What I'm unsure about are the watercooling blocks for my CPU and GPU.

 

My question is, will the waterblock I have for my i7 LGA 2011 socket fit my new i9 2066 socket, or do I need to buy a new one? Also, I have a waterblock on my original GTX titan. Is there a chance it'll be compatible with my new Titan Xp, or should a get a new waterblock?

 

I have EK waterblocks.

 

Thanks!!

The CPU block will fit (https://www.ekwb.com/news/ek-confirms-intel-socket-lga-2066-compatibility/) but you will need to buy a new GPU block because the PCB layout is slightly different.

Just be sure to clean out the old blocks before reusing in the new loop.
