Waterblock (full cover) to fit Sapphire Radeon HD 7970 OC w/ Boost

Hardware Cooling

Hey guys,

Any idea where I could find one to fit onto this --> http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=193_1309&products_id=21322

All (at least what I've seen) 7970 waterblocks are for reference cards (some not, even then... no dice!), which this card is reference, but unfortunately with a modification that has 2 extra caps on the I/O side of the PCB that seems to get in the way of full cover waterblocks, otherwise I'd have to mess around with separate waterblocks for the VRM, GPU etc.. (too much messing around for a liquid cooling noob).

Any possible suggestions or just go in the deep end and hope for the best??

Unless you are going to modify a reference block, you will need to use a universal GPU block and some heatsinks on the VRM, memory, etc.

hrmmmm I guess there really isn't much I can do but go for the universal setup, don't think I'm very confident in hacking up a reference block.... thanks for that mate! :)
