7950 water block for sapphire card

[Eternalnami]

I recently got a sapphire 7950 card and want to add it to my loop but can't seem to find a water block that will fit it.

The card in question is:

I've looked on frozencpu and EK's site and neither have said their compatible with this card. Any idea why? I think it is the stock 7950 PCB but can't be sure as this is my first AMD card.

You need to post a photo (you have taken) of the bare PCB

but then you could just search google like we will to see if its reference.

If its not you wont get a block for it.

Alright TTL, i'll take a picture when it gets here but will keep trying google till then.
Thanks!

It looks like a ref design. Only the Flex and Vapor-X are not but like TTL says you'll know for sure when you compare the pcb with a picture of the ref design.

When you're planning on water cooling you really need to check water blocks before you choose your graphics card.

you could also try those universal kits. they are not as good, but you will be able to add it to your loop.

Yeah, I have a NH-d12 right now on my CPU but have a 480 on a loop by itself and was just gonna upgrade, I actually ended up getting the MSI TFIII edition of the 7950.

They are better than a full cover at cooling the GPU,they just lack VRM cooling which can be remedied with heatsinks

and they look ugly.

But from what I hear, most of the AMD cards can be OC'd to 1100+ on the core without changing the volts at all. So a 200+ jump without changing volts, a core only block could be used till a full coverage came in to look sexy.

According to their website the block will fit the card you posted.

SAPPHIRE 100352-2L

I would double check it to make sure it is a compatible model.

It should be compatible, and my God that thing looks so good.

Absolutely. I wasn't going to watercool my GPU because I was happy with the looks of the XFX cooler and couldn't find a waterblock I liked.

So needless to say my plans have changed and the 7950 is getting watercooled.
