the direct cuii is a full custom pcb with nearly everything moved around. i wouldnt expect many people to have made one. remember you can search for a 7970 direct cuii block as well and it will be the same thing, but again, with such a custom pcb, none of the main waterblock producers make one for it, just like the SC version of some of the evga cards
if im not mistaken, the ASUS DirectCUII r9 280x uses the same PCB layout as the previous Radeon HD 7970 as there was no official ref. Card for the 280x, so, my guess would be that this Water block will work:

Tis a absolute no for the above link. yes the 280x's are just non reference 7970's but the asus one specifically has thier own completely custom pcb, whereas say like an msi one still has the same reference board as the 7970
I'm not trying to argue but on the post it says this:
"EKWB explains that due to the similarities between the older Radeon HD 7970 and the new Radeon R9-280X, and since there was no official reference design for the PCB, most of the AIB partners have decided to either re-use the older reference design (AMD 109-C38637) or proprietary designs, including Asus' DirectCUII boards. - Niels Broekhuijsen OCTOBER 14, 2013 10:00 PM - Source: EKWB

i said absolutely nothing about a 7970 direct cuii and a 280x direct cuii being different
these are the waterblocks you are looking for

i simply assumed more knowledge to be known than what i actually put in text.
a 7970dirct cuii is the same pcb as a 280x direct cuii
