Waterblock for Gigabyte R9 270?

[dukethedj]

I have been planning for about a week if I should build a watercooling loop for my pc because it is getting really toasty at idle (55 C on cpu, 60 c on GPU, with fans cranked) And I found all of the parts but a block for my graphics card. I found an EK block for the 7870 thant says an HIS r9 270 is compatable and I don't know if it will work with my card. http://configurator.ekwb.com/waterblock/3831109856376

 

Thanks for the help

Personally, I wouldn't watercool it. You'd be better off spending the money on a better card.

That.

And the R9 270 already runs cool and quiet. Mine barely hits 60c under load and it's summer time.

You wouldn't be able to OC it harder on water either, you will hit the chips limit on air most likely.

I'm idling at 60 c and I just want it to be cool and quiet. And buying a new card might not help. I just want to know if the block I mentioned would work with my card.
