Hey mega brains of toms hardware, I have a question. I am making the dive into the water cooling world because I won't be upgrading this year so I want to trick out the i7-930 that I have. I want to do my CPU, and two 5870s. The CPU is easy I have no dramas with that but it's the GPU's that I need 100% clarification on. I have one Asus EAH5870 I got on launch, it looks like this;
The other week I bought a second but it is a Gigabyte that looks like this;
Basically I'm not at all sure which water block I need for each. EK have a regular one and a special one for the Asus 5870, here are the options;
regular
Asus
Now it may seem cut and dry but there was a V2 of the Asus card that used a non reference design. I don't want to pull the trigger until I am 100% sure.
All help is appreciated.
