does the 7950 water block fits on r9 280 (non x)?

[AMDAlexK]

i recently thought that they didn't make full cover water blocks for the 7950 or r9 280. i just found out that they're out there. concerning that i have the reference design video card, will the water block made for the 7950 fit on my r9 280? thanks

As far as I know the 7950 never had a reference design and many manufactures used the 7970's reference design but there are some who used different designs. Because of this I wouldn't make the assumption that 7950 and R9 280 have the same design but it is possible in some cases. What is the exact model card you have?

it is a powercolor turboduo r9 280 OC, i checked and it does have the reference pcb, and plus they will not void your warranty if you remove the cooler.

It looks like your card is compatible with the following block:

As for whether it would be compatible with a 7950 water block I'm still unsure.

I have the XFX R9 280(non x), I was wondering if there were any compatible water blocks for this graphics card as I am finding it difficult to find anything, I would appreciate any help possible
