Sapphire Radeon HD6970 Watercooling

[Trixx1992]

I'm going to set up a full watercooling loop but I ran into a little problem:

I have this GPU : Sapphire RADEON HD6970

And I have no idea if a reference cooling block will fit on this (lets say the EK (6970) for example).

Can anyone help me out with what type of block I should use? (Is it the same as reference cards or not?)

My Sapphire HD 6970

As you can see this is not the normal Sapphire HD6970 shown below:

Sorry dude, i am sure that this is a non'reference designed card so it wont work

I myself had the reference designed card and the Koolance block

I could be wrong, so do some more digging. there may be the odd case a reference block will work on a non reference board ! lol

Is there any way that I can be sure about it ?

And if it's a non reference card, will a non reference block fit on it (EK HD6970 V2) ?

Thanks a lot, this is my first time watercooling a Gpu.

Wow guys, I just found this amazing site where every PCB is shown with the card, It autochecks for compatibilty

Don't know if I'm allowed to post it but : Water cooling check

Solved my problem.
