Water block gigabyte 6970 oc2

I've been looking for awhile now and I can't find a full cover block for this card, so I was thinking I will probably have to use a universal block and ramsinks. I saw on one thread someone mention that you could use the stock heatsink to cool the ram and just watercool the block, does that actually work? if not how does one go about attaching ramsinks I've only ever seen rigs with full cover blocks on them. If I go with a universal block is it going to be as good? is there a block people would recommend over others?

Yeah I've read that sticky, I'm more interested in specific experience with this card, universal blocks and ramsinks.
