Ask devilish_yin. Haha

You can use a universal block, but general rule is to get heat sinks for everything else on the card. Btw, why not use the cooling configuration and see if any of EK's blocks will fit? The PCB layout of your card looks normal enough.

Yes, feel free to mix and match to your fancy. No rule saying you have to stick with just one brand. Ppl just stick with one brand coz sometimes either they buy everything from one place, want things to match a certain theme, sponspred, or are just.... Fanboys. Hahaha.

Well, depends what you define as bang for buck. Last time, kits were hard to find, now they're all over the place. A custom loop, depending how crazy you go, will set you back at least 1k, and thats for the brands that are locally available and providing you don't buy unnecessary things.

For RM500, you can kick start your watercooling loop with an XSPC RS240 H2O 750v4 kit (RM499) or a swiftech H220 (not sure of RRP, but it's close). This path will let you start and you can just upgrade later down the road as you fancy. Do read up before buying the kit though.

Btw, a reference 7950 will not have the same pcb as cloud_83 as he's using a dual-x card. If your 7950 is reference, you can pretty much use any waterblock in the market.

Get a full cover block. Saves you the headache of looking for ram sinks, cools better and look better. Also, your card would probably be more stable at higher temps/last longer.

You should be ok. The top of your case can take 2x 140mms, so should be no problem.

Different manufacturing location/company, different screw type. Never assume. Haha. Some 6-32, some M3, some M4.

30mm screw for regular 25mm thick fans, 35mm for 30mm thick fans. Of course if you use gaskets and stuff then there might be a difference, but always use regular screw lengths so you don't ruin your radiator.

got an empty slot on the PPC bulk before I start finalising orders. Anyone want in, let me know!

Do you remember if the screw that came with your rad has rough threads or fine screw threads? If rough (wide spaced threads) then it's UNC6-32. If it's fine (narrow spaced threads), then M3 or M4, but most likely M3 for that region of manufacturing.

And you'll need 35mm, not 3.5mm. LOL.

Damn you're selling your scythe GTs for cheap.

Well, retail goes as high as 60.

If it's the fine skinny one, then M3. Yeah, send me a photo.

Haha. too bad I bought mine already.

Eh bro, got side profile? Hard to see if angle.

Looks like a UNC 6-32. But take it to the store when you go hunting.

Use google find hardware stores in malacca.

Anyone know if EK's delidded ivy bridge mounting system can be used with other water blocks? Itchy to try.

I don't think the performance of a universal block can come close to a full cover as the cooling for the VRAM will be different. Though for the core, the cooling can match I think. Check out EK's VGA supremacy hwbot edition.

Haha. Justification is different to everyone.

Well, if you want to buy a bunch of stuff, it'll probably be cheaper to buy from me as shipping is one shot. If you want to count individual pieces, then possibly ekwb store might be a bit cheaper for just the block. Lol.

Hit me a pm with the stuff you want and I'll quote for you, no obligations. Even if you don't buy I can always help out no worries.

Happy hunting. Let us know if you get stuck!

Anyone looking for a 560mm radiator, quickly faster order from me. lol.
