Hey everyone. Recently had to send in my powercolor r9 290 PCS+ due to a bad rap module. They are replacing it with an r9 390 of the same model. I was looking at a water block and this block

https://shop.ekwb.com/ek-fc-r9-290x-acetal-nickel-rev-2-0

Shows compatibility with xfx 390s but says nothing about powercolor. Does anyone know if it will fit? Is there an EK rep on this board? I'd sincerely appreciate help.
 
There's an EK rep, but I don't remember their username.

Is the GPU you're receiving a reference PCB model?

Have you tried running the model number you're getting in the Cooling Configurator on EK's site?

Yea but nothing comes up. Unless I'm doing it wrong some how. Anyway. Found a side by side pic of r9 290 and 390 PCS+ models. The 390 doesn't appear to be different in any way so the block should fit without modding.

Won't let me upload pic so here is link.

This is what you need but I would hurry to buy it since there's only a few blocks left : EK-FC R9-290X SE - Acetal+Nickel

Also, if you want the backplate, it's this one : EK-FC R9-290X SE Backplate - Black
