2900 XT Waterblock, will it fit another card?

[Helium_Junkie]

Bit of a shot in the dark perhaps, but would anyone know if I can use my 2900XT waterblock with another, upgraded card?

Would greatly appreciate any answers. Thanks!

That depends completely on the waterblock. Which block is it?

Sorry realised that would be required right after posting

not sure, but that link smells of competitor

I can imagine that it might fit a 3870, but thats about it.

Probably not. These full cover blocks are only designed to fit a single card which is why i will never buy one. Core only blocks are a much better option as you can keep using the same block. Mine has been on 7800Gt/8800GT/4850/4870 cards. Better cooling too.

How does the Mp-05 cope these days? I have the SP-LE version and thinking about putting it on a Tri core Phenom.

Back on topic. I have a danger den tyee which was meant for x1900 series, but it fits on the 8800 series since the screws are in the same place, roughly. I had to miss two out.

Extremely well mine is the Pro LE version. The MP-1 on the gpu is still excellent too. The highest i have seen on my E8500 is 42 degrees when running IBT. My 4870 run's in the low-mid 30's at load.

I do have a window mounted Nexxos Extreme lll rad though.
