Possibly, yes. It sure does look like a reference board but there is no way of confirming whether your block will fit without confirming this with either the manufacturer or someone who has also attempted to watercool the card.

there is 2 model of this card ..number 11196-10-40G
Sapphire HD 7950 950 Mhz edition . 11196-10-40G . Dual X cooler . uses HD 7970 PCB and has 8 pin + 6 pin power----this is definitely ref. 7970

and which one Im buy is also number 11196-10-40G
Thats why Im ask..because same number and power conections same.

which card you fit waterblock?
950 mhz or 900 mhz?
because Im buy 900mhz.

I had the 950mhz version (11196-10-40G) and it was a 7970 pcb.
To confuse things, the sticker on the box said 900mhz.

The pcb was dark brown and I've seen a black pcb version of the same card too.
Not sure if the blue pcb is the same thing.

Sorry if this doesn't answer your question.

Can be this card with power conector 8+6 pin non reference card?

Uncle Petey · 4 Apr 2013 at 16:51

8+6pin *should* mean it's ok. However, if they've changed the pcb colour, they could have changed other things too.

Ok..so I rather cancel purchase and Im found 950 mhz edition

It has AMD printed on it, as far as I know that means it -is- reference design.
