4870 blocks dont fit ? 1 Year, 4 Months ago Karma: 0
After a 3 week delay and 1 wrong order i recieved my Dualbay cooler with 2x 4870 blocks.When i opened box i was a little worried that there was nothing but cooler so i went and removed coolers from my 2 VisionTek 4870 512mb card and could not believe the block was not even close to fitting on the card.So i went to a build i was doing for someone else that also wanted this cooler as i talk about CoolIt and what a great product they made .For this build i went with 2 Diamond 4870 XOC 512mb cards and samething the block has no way of fitting.Am i missing something i went on MicroCenter and NewEgg and it looks like all 4870 have the same fan in the middle cooler set up with minor differences?Could someone that this fit tell me what cards you used or did i just get the wrong blocks ?Looking at the holes to attatch the block the heat sinks in other parts on the back of the card can not be removed?

Hi N1ne,

The CoolIT coldplate will only fit the first generation reference design. The second generation reference design resulted in significant changes to the board layout.


Both Diamond and VisionTek are now shipping second gen boards.

I apologize for your inconvenience.
