Another VGA Block question

Gertford · 16 Mar 2013 at 12:59

Just curious if anyone knows, the XSPC website says that it's 7970 Razor fits the 7950 as long as it's a reference board, what about the Raystorm style one? It'd be great if it did so I can match everything up. =D.

Just comparing pictures of the bottom of the blocks and they look exactly the same but I don't want to buy them and find out they don't fit..

Anyone have a definitive answer?

Cheers

The Razor is a full cover block. The Raystorm is a core only block and needs a HD7970 CU Adaptor plate as the core of the 7000 series is lower than the surrounding shim.

I think you're getting mixed up. This is a full cover block Razor in Raystorm style.

I went straight to XSPC's website and they just call it the Razor (new style). Comparing pictures of the blocks bases side by side they do indeed appear to be the same. Just to be sure, you could always check with XSPC's customer service before you order one.

I've e-mailed them Pasty. Just waiting on a reply.

Thanks for your help =D
