ok, im planning on watercooling my 7970, this is my first time watercooling so bear with me.
Im planning on buying two of these http://www.frozencpu.com/products/1...7970_-_Nickel_CSQ.html?id=ycDDDkFv&mv_pc=9506 but Im a bit confused.
Shouldnt there be a hole to attach the tube on the top of the block so I can connect the bottom card?
Like this picture
I circled the part Im taking about , see how the block has ports on the top and bottom?
am I missing a part I need? if so what do I need? Please let me know because this is the last thing i need to figure out so I can pull the trigger and order all my stuff. Thanks.
 
You'll probably want something like this.

Honestly, I would recommend you to stay away from any EK product, especially their nickel products.

Ive read that ek did have problems with nickel, but now they are fixed.

It isn't so much a question of whether their nickel blocks still have problems as it is whether you want to do business with a company that blamed their customers for their own problems even in light of overwhelming evidence that it was EK's fault. That's my understanding anyway.
 
...and they like to use Aluminium plates in their blocks, because who the hell has copper elsewhere in their loop nowadays?

Still, they're one of the few companies willing to make blocks for custom pcbs, which is why I grudgingly still go with them.

Jusy FYI...
 
Damn their link system is confusing. Thats why I went with aquacomputer blocks for my lightnings. Well that and the nickel issues.
