Waterblocks for REV.2 GTX590's

[kzinti1]

I need a pair of blocks for my pair of GTX590's.
Thing is, I don't know which blocks actually fit Rev.2. Here's a link telling, but not showing, the diff between the revisions: http://vr-zone.com/articles/revised-geforce-gtx-590-cards-in-june/12222.html.
I bought the 1st card 10/12/2011 and the 2nd card on 1/11/2012, so they're the 2nd revision.
Is there some list showing which blocks are compatible with Rev.2? I'd say who made the cards but RR says not to mention their name.
What I really want is the new AlphaCool Nexxus blocks and matching backplates. I e-mailed them and got no response. Either because they can't read English or they really don't give a shit. Here's the link to these blocks: http://www.alphacool.com/index.php/cat/c41_NVIDIA-Fullsize.html.
I know EK has taken the 2nd revision into consideration, but it really pissed me off the way they tried blaming Petra and Sidewinders when the plating on EK's blocks started to fail.
This is my 1st time watercooling SLi'd videocards and the only waterblock connectors I can find are from Danger Den. I don't think that their chrome-plated SLi. tubing would look very nice with the AlphaCool blocks.
Thanks, ya'll,

I would imagine they have not made a rev 2 block yet and may not. ek's configure thing helps in some cases but im not sure it will help in yours. that nexus block looks like a danger den knock off. but hey to each their own

Thanks. I was afraid of that.
I would appreciate any reccomendations for the blocks I can use on GTX590's bought after August, 2011. Since these things sell out so quick I doubt that anybody that bought one or more after August would've bought the 1st revision, so whatever card(s) that they're using should be the same revision as mine.
I read in some Forum (I forgot to bookmark the damned place) said that with the newer parts used by Nvidia on these cards, that an earlier model waterblock came about 1/16" from fitting flush with their card, due to the added height of whatever the newer components are. Inducters, whatever the Hell they are.
It was said that the fix was for the block manufacturers to drill out the holes for these "inductors" that were keeping the blocks from mounting flush.
I doubt that the Krauts that make AlphaCool products ripped off a Danger Den design, but who knows? I read about the Lamptron knock-offs and this problem of copyright infringement, worldwide, is just going to get worse.
I wonder what the damned ChiComs have that the US government wants so badly, that they're allowing the commies to rip-off the world? Red China should be completely and utterly destroyed now, because it will have to be done later, at a much greater loss of American lives. The US government are such pussies that they'll do nothing until their own nuts are in the fire!
I digress. I really want to get these cards cooled down before the lifetime warranty, from they-who-may-not-be-named, has to be invoked.
Come on RR. Just because you had some trouble with the Forum of this company is no reason we shouldn't be able to say the brand name of our cards when we need some help with them. But, it's your Forum, so whatever you say, goes.

Is it a knock off? Or one of the same. Interesting.

Other than the colors, they don't look a damned bit alike.

I found a pair of original blocks from EVGA that match my cards and bought 'em. They said if they didn't fit they'd find me some that would.
