water cooling an evga 980 with the acx 2.0 cooler

[Beefmaster]

hey,

 

I am going to be finally buying the rest of my computer today, i will be buying a 980 and getting putting a water block with it my pc parts store does not sell any reference cards because they're a bunch of muppets. i was wondering if i could buy a 980 with a evga acx 2.0 cooler on it and put a waterblock on it.

 

will this work? or do they use a non-reference PCB?

 

if the water block wont work then what cards with non-reference coolers will?

 

thanks in advance. i also included the list of graphics cards i have to choose from.

why not just get one with a water block on it. Its about $120-150 for the block so http://www.evga.com/Products/Product.aspx?pn=04G-P4-2989-KR so this being only $100 more is than one w/o is a pretty good deal

 

Just make sure the tubes from your liquid cooling system fit on the card (or vise versa)

The superclocked ac 2.0 is a reference design I have 2 of them and put this block on them http://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-fc980-gtx-acetal.html also http://www.coolingconfigurator.com/ is a handy way to double check and it has it listed as reference
