Reference PCB on R9 290

Hi all,

I'm having a little problem. I purchased two Aquacomputer water blocks for the R9 290 and thought that the MSI Radeon R9 290 Gaming 4G Aktiv. The picture on the website showed that it is the reference layout and I checked with the compatibility list, but when I removed the stock cooler I figured it was probably a new revision with a slightly different layout. Now the water blocks don't fit.
I'm not in the process of exchanging the card, but I'm unsure on what other card to get. Is the Sapphire Radeon R9 290 Tri-X OC Aktiv reference?

This is super useful, thanks for sharing the bit about the green sticker. I've been racking my brain about an easy way to find this out.
