XFX 7950 waterblock?

I was thinking about water cooling my pc and saw that they are selling off 7950 waterblocks for £50.
I have an XFX DD one of the later ones FX-795A-TDJV I don't think that's the reference PCB so if it's not got the reference PCB does anyone know if there are any compatible waterblocks?

Assuming your card is the FX-795A-TDJC (rather than -TDJV) there are no blocks made by EK who tend to offer the best selection when it comes to WCing non reference cards.

You could get a GPU only block that only cools the GPU itself and then get some mini heatsinks for the ram/vram but I don't know how effective that would be.

XSPC have the Raystorm. It is an excellent universal GPU chip water block, I use one on my current HD7870. The downside to this is, as Disco_P says, you need to cool the VRAM and VRMs some other way. I have made a clear plastic duct to funnel air from my side window fan over the VRMs, and while this works very well, the VRAM has been getting a bit too hot over the last few days (in the UK, got hot weather at the moment).

Sorry for wasting your time I took another look at the card and it actually reads
FX-795A-TD FX-795A- TDJ V5.0
I don't know were I got the last code from I feel stupid. So now I have actually managed to get the right number down will any of the blocks be compatible?
