Yeah i edited that in once i realized what you meant guess you didnt catch it  :P Considering the way the bracket sits on that card im thinking it blows air straight down so its then going to hit the board and dissipate in all directions which in theory would get pretty decent airflow over those chips as well. If you compare a reference and non reference board though the position of the vrm modules doesnt really change much if at all most times, They just use higher quality chips and sometimes more of them in a tighter pack.

 

Yes, VRM placement is more than likely the same and I understand the function of the cooler itself. Which is not my concern. My question here is, in the spec list on the website it lists a few non-reference cards. Like the ACX Cooler from EVGA and the Windforce 3X cooler from Gigabyte. How is it possible that these fans are similar to the non-reference design fan? I had a Windforce 3X myself, I don't recall being able to remove one fan from it. The same with the ACX cooler. I'm pretty sure they are larger than the reference design fan. So either they are the same dimensions or there is something else going on for it to be compatible.

Ohhh i see what your meaning, That bracket has its own proprietary fan on it im pretty so your replacing that stock cooler 100% however it sounds like if you have a non reference card you need to somehow order that blower style fan as an add on. Maybe corsair sells them or something

I kinda wish a manufacture made a bracket for non-reference cards, but I can understand why they do. One design= one sku.

Would this work for my GTX 690?  I see it's not in the compatibility list, but why wouldn't it?

I'd like it better if it looked something like this

- snip of betterness-

Was thinking same thing. Or, just use a much better looking custom loop. Don't tell me about warranty because you're removing the heatsinks which voids the warranty. And also, anyone "hard core" enough to strip the heatsinks will already be using a custom loop. Don't see much of a market.

Pretty sure the only way to get those is from Best Buy or from Overclockers.co.uk

I have a reference as well 

muh specs

Screens- Acer preditor XB241H (1080p, 144Hz Gsync), LG 1080p ultrawide, (all mounted) directly wired to TV in other room

Stuff- k70 with reds, steel series rival, g13, full desk covering mouse mat

All parts black

Workstation(desk)- 3770k, 970 reference, 16GB of some crucial memory, a motherboard of some kind I don't remember, Micomsoft SC-512N1-L/DVI, CM Storm Trooper (It's got a handle, can you handle that?), 240mm Asetek based AIO, Crucial M550 256GB (upgrade soon), some hard drives, disc drives, and hot swap bays
