Koolance makes a waterblock that fits this hardware.

So you should be fine.

Some child from a desert country has messed up the msi site so can't tell you atm

It's not a reference board since they have a difference layout and the EK block wouldnt fit either.

GPU Only block.

using gpu only blocks puts xfire out of the question?

i have 2 of these 6850's. i have thaught about getting another card but i have 2 perfectly good ones here.

ah hold on, i can use the ek bridge editions. they look pretty smart, mayby not as nice as 2 full blocks and a xfire pipe.

Why?
It won't quite as "clean" but it certainly won't prevent Crossfire.
