Hello everyone, does anyone know if the socket 2066 position differs from model to model? I want to move from Micro to Dark (or maybe to FTW K), but I have a custom loop with pass-throughs like this:
 

 
Obviously I don't want to drill more holes or use 2x45 adapters which may ruin the looks. So the question is - is the socket position different on Micro and Dark, or on Micro and FTW?
Any help much appreciated. Thank you.

    Often times there is differences due to how the board layouts change. It would be difficult to verify 100% without having both boards together.

    I will see if maybe someone with more knowledge can assist.

    not seeing the photo - just see the "broken image rectangle" ... thought it was because of Facebook
     
    though my laptop is under tight security control ... no 3rd party cookies & such things ... I can usually see photos members post

    Just from looking at the photos on the EVGA website, there looks to be a significant difference (look at the top down photos, and compare the PCIE slot overlap of the CPU socket):

    Micro

    Dark

    FTW K

    The Micro 2 appears to be the only one similar enough:
