You'd need some fittings for the ek block, then you'd be set.

Please could you take a look at the parts supplied by the radiator in the link and elaborate a little on exactly what kind of fittings i would need. I am sorry I am a complete noob when it comes to gpu water cooling. And I want to do it myself to learn a bit more about this. Also the pc shop is around 90 kms from my place and i cant drive down there at a moments notice. I will be grateful if you could advise me on what fittings I would need so I could get everything in one shot... I see in ur sig that u have 4 eks drool.gif ... awesome

Judging by what's out there, looks like only rev3 is sold...

You'd need tubing, two fittings per device (4 barbs/compressions/etc), and water/coolant (ex. Primochill Iceclear).

If you could post your temps on here after you fit it that would be great. I have a 7970 and would like to see what the ek block can do !
