Block Confusion! Please Help

[Havark]

Hello recently got my hands on two SAPPHIRE HD 5870 1GB GDDR5 PCIE (Game Edition)

Now my question is are these Reference or Non Reference cards?

I believe they are Reference cards and i have found this block

EK-FC5870 - Acetal+EN (Nickel)

but if they are Non Reference cards then they need this one.

EK-FC5870 V2 Acetal + Nickel

Can anybody help me figure out what block it is i need?

Here is a pic of the cards if it help

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks Dan

They are reference cards imho
The first block should suffice.

To check, you could remove the coolers and match up the screw holes

they look like reference cards, but without checking the serial numbers i really wouldn't know. stick them in google and see what that turns up

That is a very good idea

I have tried this already but you have both more or less answered my question.

Thanks

Take the heatsink off and look if they match the pic on EK's site? its not like you aren't planning on doing it anyway...

linking to eks shop directly is against the rules i think?

as for the cards I'm not sure. the reference 5870 from sapphire has an axial fan and looks shorter? Could just be extra shroud on these for the fan though.

These cards look similar to the 2gb eyefinity 6 edition on cooling configurator

I believe it is but OCUK don't sell any decent blocks and defiantly not these ones so I don't see a problem.
