Great prices from MSI!!!! :)
 
Ordered two of the MSI 290X Lightning cards, cheers Gibbo great deal from OcuK. How many will you have in stock? May come back for a third at a later date.
 
No but I think the V2 of the EK block fits. Check their website to double check.

Might even be a bit more complicated. I was looking at this last week and a quick google search seems to indicate the 290 Gaming has more than one PCB revision, and they moved some of the taller caps at some point. (Bought the MSI 290 Gaming back when it was ~£330 and keep think of getting a GPU block)

Though the image that was posted in the link as a rev. 2.2 PCB has "290X" in it so who knows...
