Hey guys came across an issue, its rather annoying. My Sapphire 7970 vapor-x ghz edition isn't reference from what i know, and i really want to water cool my graphics so I don't hear loud fans and so it runs a lot cooler. Has anyone found anyway around this?
 
If your graphics card uses a non-reference PCB design, then for water-cooling options your effectively limited to Universal blocks, though very rarely there is a full cover custom PCB block.

A Universal block only cools the GPU itself, not surrounding VRAM or VRM's, so you have to apply heatsinks to them and provide adequate airflow to cool those components.
This basically, though it doesnt show the VRM's.

The water-cooling sticky has all the info you need to get a basic idea of what your doing when it comes to water-cooling, including GPU water-cooling.
