Can you use this on a 290X?

I was just browsing through the 290 range and seen one that OCUK sells with the Prolimatech Black Series MK-26 but it's £150 more expensive and it's sold out most of the time.

now the same thing is on sale here:

would i be able to use this on the 290x myself? or have OCUK had to modify the cooler or the card for it to be fitted on?

im really tempted with the 290x. i think overall it's a better card than the 780 and probably more future proof with mantle and the massive memory bandwith but really dont want to use it with the stock cooler. my pc is dead cool & quiet and i want to keep it that way

There are a couple of threads about it, you can fit it yourself. It's a bit fiddly, but once done it seems to drop vcore temps to 50-60C and runs silently.
