Im thinking of buying this card: http://kleinanzeigen.ebay.de/anzeigen/s-anzeige/amd-radeon-hd-7970-pcs+/215400017-225-9455?utm_source=email&utm_medium=system_email&utm_campaign=email-ContactPoster&utm_content=ViewAd

but i dont know if there are any full cover waterblocks for it/or if there are any compatable ones. If not, how do non-fullcover waterblocks work? do i need a fan for vrm cooling?

Just found out that there is a v2 and v3. There are full cover blocks for the v2, but not for v3. Gonna ask the guy from ebay what version it is, thanks for the replies

I think it's a v2. Look at the cylinder things (forgot the name) on the right side. on the v2 there are more, like on the ebay page. 

 

I'd check anyways though.

Im quite confused right now. On the ebay site, it has a black pcb(the v3 one). On coolingconfigurator.com , the v3 one has a red pcb and the v2 has the refference 7970 pcb.
