So I just enter pcb code off card and it will tell me what block I need?

Am I right in thinking code is by the pcie connection?

Thanks for replying

Go down the page to 'Select your video card'

AMD > GPU Series (Radeon HD 7970) > Select Manufacturer (GIGABYTE) > Select Video Card (Gigabyte 7970 windforce 3 oc edition pcb GV-R797TO-3GD)

It will then list/show you which universal blocks you can use.

Thanks guys my one worry is cause the universal only do gpu chip would I see high temps on water rather than gains due to v ram no longer being cooled?

Cheers guys my one worry if I use universal block will I get worse temps due to v ram not being cooled by block?
