The consensus is you can't use a full cover block on the new PCB.

I wonder if EK will offer re-machining of old blocks?
LOL

It is possible, although unlikely. They did help end users when the 980 K|ngp|n thing happened. This is a lot different than that situation though.

Isn't going to take much....just gotta cut that corner off the block. I might just do it myself. The only reason I'm even considering it, is because of the 90day step up advantage for going to the 1080ti, just in case they drop in the next 90 days, which looks likely.

Is there going to be an issue with the header at the far end of the card which is no longer a 4 pin but a 6 pin and therefore slightly larger?
Or is that the one you are talking about?

I don't think the one on the end is going to be an issue. The cutout in the acrylic is quite large already. The one I'm concerned about is this one (circled in blue, bottom left).  Situated roughly, here:
