Can’t install the gtx 770 waterblock due to large capacitors. What’s the issue? (First water cooling project)
It’s a gigabyte gtx 770 with 4GB RAM.

If the Gigabyte Windforce 4GB is used, it seems unlikely that a standard reference PCB will work. This could be a key factor preventing a full cover block from fitting unless it's designed for a custom PCB.

I would imagine it is a non-reference PCB board. This means the board layout or components are different from the Nvidia reference manufacturing process for the GPU.
What is the exact card model #?

This option skips extensive external coverage of the chip, which is why it's designed that way. It serves as a standard module.

If the Gigabyte Windforce 4GB is not designed for reference PCB use, it won't fit properly on this card. A full cover block wouldn't work unless it's tailored for a custom PCB.
