MSi R9 390 waterblock help

[AriseBloodshot]

I'm unable to find any sort of way to use a waterblock on this card. Im going to be using 2 of these cards, and I refuse to keep one sucking in hot air from the backplate of the other. Is there any waterblock for this? Will I just have to get 2 970/980 instead? I've done my searching but I can't find many threads for anything that is for the 390 instead of the 290. Any help will be greatly appreciated. I got the card right when it came out (first time I've done this). Does it take awhile for full cover blocks to come out?

There has to be a water block out there, try http://www.frozencpu.com

I would contact them:

https://shop.ekwb.com/ek-fc-r9-290x-acetal-nickel-rev-2-0

That card isn't specifically in the compatibility list (though the note in the product is interesting).

They're good about responding.....I reached out to them before they listed the Fury X blocks and they said they were coming. You never know....

Sorry for the delayed response, I've been quite busy. I've been looking around even more and also have been told that as of now, there won't be a waterblock for my card. How bad would my other cards temps be? If you've seen a 970a-ud3p mobo, you'll know the PCIe slots don't have a lot of room to work with. It'll probably have... half an inch (maybe 3/4 of an inch) or so from the other card. I do have a 200mm fan blowing direct cool air onto my gpu, however. Would my other card bring in too much heat from the other?

It's hard to say....I guess just check it out. It certainly isn't an ideal setup, but if you do have a PCIe cover or two in between the two GPU slots, you could remove it. Then with a 40mm fan or something similarly sized, rig a mount to blow down the length of your cards directed out the back (and hopefully through the open slot).

Other than that, I would just say test it and monitor your thermals closely.
