If it has a reference PCB, an EK waterblock will work if not you're out of luck on the EK side of things.

The Vapor-x series generally uses non-reference pcb sorry man.

check out www.coolingconfigurator.com to see if it is a reference PCB if it is reference then most 290x blocks will fit it then

If you have Two sapphire r9 290 vapor-x and you have it registered with the sapphire select club (if you don't you should) then send a message to customer support. and ask if the card uses a reference PCB or if they know of a full cover block that will fit. They helped me out a lot when I had my sapphire HD 6970's.

Just by looking at the card I'm going to say a full cover block will not fit. Sorry
