Could EK watercooling configurator be wrong?

Hi

I recently started planing full watercooling for my system and I found a problem.
I want to install full cover waterblocks, preferably acetal, on my 2 Evga gtx 660 ti's however EK configurator sais they are not compatible. I crosschecked that with other sites ( videocardz.com and anandtech.com) and I found out that my card has identical PCB to gtx 670 reference cards and should work with waterblocks designed for them.

The card I have is currently being sold at OCuk clearance lines if you want to check it.

So, any chance EK could be wrong about this?
Thanks in advance for all your advice

Cheers
BH

You sure your manufacture code is the same as the one on CC?

Product code: 02G-P4-3660

I just went to cooling configurator>nvidia>GTX660Ti>EVGA>EVGA GeForce GTX 660 Ti 2GB GDDR5 (02G-P4-3660) and it tells me its reference Nvidia PCB that takes 670 blocks?

Weird.
Last time I checked few days ago it was recommending to use a gpu block and separate cooling for vrm and memory.
Now it sais something else, just weird.
But looks like my problem is solved.
Thanks
