Water cooling R9 270x

[momoswagg]

I'm looking to water cool my Sapphire R9 270x. At first I wasn't going to water cool, but my friend decided to do it so I'm going to do it with him. However I haven't been able to find a waterblock for a R9 270x yet. From what I've heard, it's just a rebranded 7870. Will a 7870 block fit on a Sapphire R9 270x? Is the Sapphire version different than a reference version?

im in the same boat mate, i want to water cool my asus 270 (overclocked to 270 x) but cant find any fittings any where, you might be able to use a cpu cooler the only problem with that is that the ram and everything dosent get cooled

No, there are no full cover blocks for that Card, best you can do is Chip only or a NZXT Kraken.

i heard it is basicly a clone of the 7790 or something, could you not use a a full cover block for that card ?

the stock cooler only contacts the GPU anyway on that card so just get a block that covers the gpu and use stick on passive heat-sinks to the memory modules, just make sure a case fan is blowing over the PCB. Since your using a downgraded card I'd assume your not looking for a crazy over clock, hopefully just looking for ultra quiet, in that case this would work just fine. water block
