Hmm looking at the EK compatibility site it seems all the 2080ti's are reference design as you say
Also looking at the regular MSI GeForce RTX 2080 Ventus 8G OC, it is also a reference design - that should mean that the 2080 super variant is a reference design right?
Odd thing is that on the EK site, the 2080 Ventus has plenty of compatibility, but there is a listing for a 2080 super Ventus that says no plans to make a compatible waterblock - however the naming format on that page is a bit different to the regular 2080 Ventus (and different from the card that i am looking at - 2080 Super MSI Ventus XS OC)
Anyone know if there have there been any cases of 2080 super cards not fitting their 2080 counterpart waterblock?
