Stupid non reference.

[Something Else]

Got my 7970 at ocuk's store opening deal when they had it for cheap, of course I bought one, now I realise that it isn't a reference pcb.

Cannot find a full cover block for it anywhere, so I guess there isn't one?

Before anyone suggests, I don't want to use a core only block.

What card?

What card EK seem to take requests, if there's enough demand they'll make it

 

[Something Else]

Sapphire Radeon HD 7970 3GB GDDR5 (11197-11)

I checked the cooling config, it does not list this as reference, as its a different number, also this has 2 dvi's which means non reference.

Two minds as to just sell it and get a reference card or just leave it out the loop.

I would imagine EK will be making FC7970's EOL shortly.

Flog it for £250, get on the MM and stick up a wanted thread for a 7970 + block, I know Tonester is looking to shift his.

I think thats my best bet tbh.

gonna give it a go and see.
