You would need to cool the RAM and the VRMs with these: http://www.enzotechnology.com/air_cooling.htm

What's the difference between the cards?

If it's not a reference PCB then you're unlikely to find a full cover block for it.

Yep this is the problem with non reference cards, they rarely get full cover blocks as the market is too small for it to be worthwhile. If you want to watercool a gpu with a full cover block always get a reference model.

Thanks for the input ill prob just keep the card the now on air and watercool a next gen card next year or so.
