Also - Because the Radeon R9 280X is based on a Tahiti XT GPU (the very same GPU used on the Radeon HD 7970 and HD 7950 graphics cards) and no prescribed reference design the majority of graphics card manufactured have simply re-used it's existing circuit board design - either the most commonly used design is a AMD reference design (109-C38637) or a proprietary design such as ASUS DirectCU II and MATRIX.

As a result a lot of these graphics cards can be used with EK-FC7970 CSQ series water block or other water blocks from EK's portfolio such as EK-FC7970 DCII. In order to simplify the search for suitable and compatible water block EK has added more than 15 different Radeon R9 280X (as well as numerous Radeon R9 270X and -R7 260X series) graphics cards from various manufacturers to EK Cooling Configurator database and compatible graphics cards are being added to the list on daily basis."

So... there is a full waterblock for it? I was looking on a compatibility list on Heatkiller's website, where it said the 280x vapor x edition uses a custom PCB.

and it says here, it only supports the Asus 7970s and 280xs....

And neither does it say here:

I think the card just isn't reference, so no waterblock would fit it... But if that;s not ture, please tell me :)

Thanks
