BP-VG6900XFX Compatibility for the XFX Speedster Merc 319

Question

I have a question about compatibility on the BP-VG6900XFX waterblock.  XFX has released the Speedster MERC319 with 2 different PCBs.  Their original PCB was for the MERC319 "BLACK" edition of the card, and there was a follow-up version with the sub-name "CORE" which has a different PCB.  The two are not compatible with each other.  I'm trying to determine which card this waterblock was originally made for.  Thanks for any information.

Answer 2

Thanks for the update.  The instruction manual isn't completely detailed on the PCB, but from the mock-up done, it does seem to be a match with the "BLACK" version, which was the original release of it.
