looking for 280x waterblock and backplate

[katiekitsune]

I've been looking through a couple sites but i have yet to find one. if you know of where i can get one please let me know.

Our excellent friends at SpecialTech have a multitude of blocks and plates

thank you

Oh sorry almost forgot ColdZero they have some awesome plates and they customise too.

one question, i know the backplates are different between reference and non reference but can i mount this and this on an asus DCUII card?

 

[Wraith]

The great thing with XSPC is that they have a full compatability list for their blocks and unfortunately the ASUS R9 280X DCUII isn't on it.

Here is a list of all the available hardware for that particular 280x via Specialtech

do saphire varpor-x/tri-x cards have reference block mounting? its seems kinda silly to spend a huge amount on pretty water blocks if I cant use a card that can do some serious overclocking.

MSI R9 280X Gaming 3G Radeon R9 280X 3GB GDDR5 (V277-053R)

The cards wont clock any better than they do on air. Its all about lower temps

You can pickup a 290 for slightly more than a 280x nowadays. A sapphire tri-x 290 is ~£300.
