OK so I have a MBA 6950XT.
Not my pic but there is one in pieces the same as mine. It is this card btw.
I needed a water block for it so I went on Bitspower's site. They had this, which I always wanted.
It is listed for a 6800XT and 6900XT reference. Or this.
Now to my eyes they look identical. From the scant info I can find online apparently they are. So I message back and forth with Bitspower, buy the block, and then they message me telling me I need to machine the block.
Along there.
But what I don't for the life of me understand is why. Why would you need to do that when the PCB and even the components are identical?
@LtMatt do you know why this is?
It's not the end of the world as I literally have a friend with a mill but yeah, I can't for the life of me figure it out.
