The first BFG has a block for a water cooling setup, the second is just an air cooler.

How could you determine that?

By looking at the photos, you can see that the cooler is a water block.

The first one has a smaller heatsink, no fan and ports on it, this means it's a watercooling set-up as the air heatsink is a lot bigger.
