Not drop of water this time.
i think Don and me could tell you a few horrific stories, likewise!
I have flooded my case and room, more times that i can count!
Thats the price of top notch watercooling.... sometimes everything ends in a puddle... sometimes, also big amounts of money

Why does the EK block say 6970 if it is on a 6950? Do they both work with the same water block?
Just curious

If they are reference models, they are the exact same PCB. One of the reasons why flashing 6950s to 6970 was possible.

I wish I had LANs to go to here. I don't think I would get many attendees if I hosted the first ever Malibu LAN, though With how often I'm moving because of being in school, I'm on air at the moment. Air has gotten so good at this point that water is almost senseless unless doing some hardcore overclocking, but I do miss it regardless.

DD is correct. They are all called 6970 water blocks, but also work with 6950. Same PCB.

I can flash this one, but have been running it at stock speed and shaders. Now that is so much cooler and quieter without that blower on it, I'm going to try it again.

Is that a 3870x2? I got a 3870x2 from a friend and it looks just like that, but the heatsink/fan and PCB are red.
