R9 290x DC20C Liquid Cooling?

[Valaska]

Hey there ASUS and other peeps! I need some help picking my new GPU (pairing with the Sabertooth!) and one of the deciding factors is compatibility with liquid cooling.

http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121840 Isn't reference but is one of the better rated cards out there! So I am slightly worried about it being compatible with liquid coolers, I have done as much digging as I could but have found little more than this;

Which doesn't exactly inspire a lot of confidence in saying if it can or can not... It's just kind of saying you can buy the two... It almost looks like the visually are going "Yeh, yeh mebeh that'd fit there eh?" so yeah, you guys know if it can actually fit? Thanks peeps and peepettes!

Yes, those EK-FC R9-290X DCII blocks are designed for the Asus R9 290X DCII (OC).
In the installation manual you see under step 1 the PCB Layout of the R9 290X DCII, which is similar to the OCed model, that you can see in this review from ocaholic if you scroll down a bit. 😉
