Reuse Legacy alphacool Hardware parts

Hello,

I bought a legacy hardware product called "Alphacool GPX-N 970 M16" and it is new, I never used it at all because my old Nvidia 970 died, but I noticed that this cooler has two parts, an aluminum heat sink with fins, and a water block very similar to this: "NexXxos GPX Pro Solo with backplate - black".

My question is, if I can in theory take the waterblock that comes as part of the Alphacool GPX-N 970 M16, and use it in the future as if it were a "solo" part like the "NexXxos GPX Pro Solo with backplate - black"?
