Sapphire Radeon HD 7970 OC Boost 3GB GDDR5 (11197-03)

Is this sapphire 7970 reference? I'm aware of coolingconfigurator.com, but there are so many models Sapphire makes so I'm not exactly sure if it is or not.  Just wondering because I may watercool it in the near future.  Any recommendations for a waterblock on this card if it is in fact reference.  For anyone who doesn't  know, the price of the card dropped down to $330 which is ridiculous so I'm going to jump on this price drop :).  Thanks in advance.
