What Video card is compatable with this

[brookejp]

Dear friends, Please I am begging for help here after a number of probs

can you please let me know by model number(so i can buy one and i know i have the correct one) which video card this water block will fit, This will be my third attempt after buying and returning what seem like hundred of video cards.

I want to get the XSPC Full Cover Razor HD 4890 (Acetal) water block, after discovering that the block i already have EK-HD4850 will not fit most of the HD4850 graphics cards now on the market and is now in the garbage bin.

the link for the block is http://www.xspc.biz/razor4890.php

Also what does "(ATI Reference Design Only)" Mean

thanks guys.

John

It means it will fit any card which follows the design for the 4890. If the manufacturer has chosen to add capacitors in weird places, do strange things with memory or generally change the design at all it may not fit.

Your 4850 block will have fitted any card built to 4850 spec. I'm very surprised that the majority are non reference, but then I don't use ati/amd cards. You should remove it from the bin and sell it, there will be people out there who want a 4850 block and can't find one.

Check the compatibility list put out by xpsc or hope that someone on here has already researched this / owns the block and a card which fits. Good luck

Thanks JonJ678, Your right i shall put it on Ebay... Thanks

Since my post i downloaded the installation instructions from XSPC site for the block which had a good photo picture of the card they used before the block was installed to illustate how to fit it so. I manage to find the same card for sale that they used.

But info much appreciated from you.

Thanks
