GTX 680 EK Waterblock Difference?

Hey guys,

I am looking into a waterblock for my GTX 670 (uses GTX 680 board), and I noticed that there are two different blocks for the GTX 680 from EK.

One is: EK-FC680 GTX+ CSQ Full Cover Waterblock - Acetal + Nickel
The other: EK-FC680 GTX - CSQ Full Cover Waterblock - Nickel Acetal

Does the GTX+ actually mean anything? Or are they the same product?

Thanks

The plus version of this water block now supports Gainward Phantom GTX 680 and Palit version graphic cards which were previously unsupported. by the EK-FC680 GTX CSQ.

So, for my EVGA FTW card, it doesn't matter?

From how it's worded I guess not. Probably they include a different set of pads or something. Might as well save the cash and get the slightly cheaper one

Well, was gonna go for acetal/nickel one, so same price as each other. Hehe. Thanks
