Question Waterblock or AIO for XFX 6950 XT ?

[BoostedaudiTT]

After contacting a few of the waterblock companies and while EKWB and Gigabyte offer water cooled 6950xt they do not offer the waterblocks separately. It seems like Byski maybe the only one that has something that may work? I emailed them and have to send them a picture of the board for them to say yes or no. It would be for a XFX Speedester Merc 319 6950xt. Checking to see if anyone has something they know for sure will fit it? It would be nice if a company offered a bolt on AIO option for these GPU's... I found some available but vast majority are mainly for Nvidia card's. Any Input is greatly appreciated!

Bykski is probably your best option if Alphacool or Bitspower don't have anything.

I tried them out once, wasn't great, but that could have been a one-off. It was just slightly off. That could easily have been a board revision or a slight setup error on the machine. The machining and heatsink/component interference were well done. Water flow was fine, just couldn't get the GPU to make full contact so got very similar results to air cooling.

Most companies tend to concentrate on the reference card, so when you don't use one you take on a lot of risk if EK is not available.

I did finally send Byski the picture of the board and they did confirm part # A-XF6900XT-X waterblock will work with this card. So I'll be ordering one of those here shortly. I was rather impressed by how quickly there customer service answered my questions.
