7970 CSQ Blocks

There can be quite major differences, yeah.

The TFIII went through several revisions IIRC and I got a little lost with it all tbh. You'd have to double check your specific model number with EK/cooling configurator.
 
Are there massive differences between PCBs? I'm looking at the MSI HD 7970 TF III in particular!

Looking here, http://www.coolingconfigurator.com/ it LOOKS as though that card is reference pcb, although I obviously don't know your exact card manufacturer code, but a quick search through their search database throws up the following card, is this yours?

MSI R7970 Twin Frozr 3GD5/OC BE Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition 3GB GDDR5 (V277-031R)

If so, it is reference and the CSQ blocks are compatible (Please note that manufacturers often revise designs without informing either EK or their customers)

For what it is worth, I have the reference OC version of that card and the CSQ was fully compatible. So assuming MSI has simply put a Twin Frozr cooler on the same PCB, you will be good to go.

As above check the exact model number against cc first, the 7970 tf3 went through a few revisions - though not as many as the 7950.

If in doubt whip the cooler off, take some pics and send them to ek :)
