7950 Watercooling

[Ghost_X]

I am having such a head ache trying to find a 7950 that has a reference PCB.

Half the cards are supposedly using 7970 reference PCBs.

This is so confusing I've been browsing for about 2 hours now and can't find a definite answer on anything. I can even trust coolingconfigurator because I know its wrong with at least one of the cards listed.

I don't mind what PCB it has as long as I can find a combo that will definitely work.

Any tips?

Google doesn't always provide the answers. I would email whichever brand you are looking at to see if it is indeed a reference pcb. Then I'd check with a bunch of others in the same way for security.
Theres never any harm in asking them directly.

Reference PCB had single DVI output...most newer cards have two. There are many models of 7950s and 7970s. There is a reference design # for each card. Check with the "Support" of the vendor you are considering to get a definite version.
