I'm looking into putting in a second loop into my water cooling build for the GPU, its a HIS 6970. Right now I'm looking for suggestions on GPU blocks. I have looked at the blocks at frozencpu.com and couldn't find anything that sparked my interest. Any suggestions for manufacturers? Money is not really any issue, I'm willing to pay for the right block.
 
You need to sort out what revision card you have before you think about a block. Reference model changed between release and 'new reference model' a few months after it.
 
^^^ What he said. Otherwise, fullcover GPU blocks generally perform similarly, within a few C of each other. Buy mostly based on looks and price. Although there is a huge thing going on about EK Nickel plated blocks right now, so I would avoid those at the moment.
 
Avoid EK blocks like the plague. IMO Aquacomputer makes some of the best full cover GPU blocks, though I have not watercooled my GPUs since my old 8800GTS. They are very pricey though, but high quality.
 
Swiftech Komodo ---- Damn DAMN damn good customer service at Swiftech!

Damn good waterblocks too!

And just damn it lol!
 
If I was doing a re-do right now I'd go Aqua, but heatkiller is also a very nice quality block. As with most things in life, you get what you pay for.

Hmm, not sure what revison. Will look into it.

Any suggestions on what to look for as for identifying the revision?

Look on Swiftech's site under the Komodo 6900 block. They have tons of information on what block fits what and what is considered ref and non reference.
