Which PCB Are These?

[blky]

Hi guys! I was just wondering if anyone would know what PCB design the following cards would be? Either reference or non-reference.

Sapphire 6970

OcUK 6970

ASUS EAH6970 DCII/2DI4S/2GD5

ASUS EAH6970/2DI2S/2GD5

MSI R6970-2PM2D2GD5

Basically i really want a 6970 non-reference, but i just dont know which to get, i want a non-reference only so i can use a particular non-reference designed waterblock on it. Any help would be great. Cheers

If you want to use a non reference waterblock, then you will have to buy the card that matches the block. Or the other way around.
Either way, there is no decision for you to make.

Each non reference will be different according to what the card maker gas added to tge original AMD design. Even a capacitor a few mm out of place will prevent a full cover block from fitting.

You are stuck buying the card the block was designed to work with.

Any reason you want a non reference block?
