EK-FC5850 VGA Block

[k3eper]

Ok im about to give up on this, ive ordered all my new rigs components ive had them nearly a month now and ive not even had chance to use it because i havnt been able to find a GX card for EK-FC5850 waterblock. Ive had to send back 3 graphics cards now. I cant find cards that will fit it , can anyone please suggest a card that will work? Ive tried to find the cards that are on the ek site
( http://www.coolingconfigurator.com/waterblock/3831109835081 )

but i cant find them anywhere. Sapphire dont seem to do the ref card anymore, no one has the xfx 5850 xxx i must have asked about 20 places over the last month or so. ANYONE HELP?! please

Have you tried it with this card?

It seems to be reference design and should be able to fit.

If you live in Canada, you could get these. It has to fit because its on their GPU list.

Thanks for the response Ringelos.

I havnt tried the first card you mentioned. I live in the UK, i did think about trying the XFX Radeon HD 5850 but as the Ek website doesnt have it on its compatibility list i thought it would be pointless.

I could give it ago tho, worst that could happen is id have to send another card back.

Ill try find a pick of the pcb.
