MSI 2060 Super Ventus PCB

[Octavialicious]

Hi there, I'm trying to find a waterblock for this card but it's been pretty difficult. It seems there is no 2060 blocks, but people say the 2070 block will fit the 2060 super (?)

 

However, someone told me the MSI Ventus PCB isn't the same as the founders? I thought it would be because it's a cheap, baseline 2060 super so idk why the pcb would be different

 

So basically I'm just asking does the 2060 super ventus have a standard PCB, and then does that mean a 2070 block will fit?

 

 

Thanks

What I can definitely confirm is that the PCB is not a standard Founders Edition PCB. The main thing that gives it away (at least to me) is the height of the PCB. I'd bet on it being the same PCB as the 2060 non-Super Ventus and 2070 non-Super Ventus, but I could be wrong. I can't see MSI remaking an entire PCB just for the Super though, since the 2060, 2060S and 2070 are all based off of TU106.

 

If that is in fact the case and they all use the same PCB, Barrow makes a full-cover block for it.

I just realized I might be able to upgrade to the 2070 ventus, but I dont know if the block will fit? The 2070 Ventus (which the block is made for) has a single 8 pin, but the 2070 Super ventus has an additional PCIE power connector

 

I've been trying to find a PCB layout or something, do you think the vrm and stuff spacing will be the same, and just the card is a bit longer for the PCIE power connector?

 

 

ty for your thoughts

 

edit: I just checked, the super ventus is 30mm longer, so maybe it's just extended?

It kinda looks like the same cooler is just moved over a bit?

 

 

so maybe the same cooler will fit?

Judging by the location of the core, they're two different layouts. This might actually be a bespoke PCB design, since it also isn't the same as the Gaming X 2070 or Super. Getting PCB shots for the 2070 Super Ventus is essentially impossible from what I can tell, and I'm kind of stumped.

yeah, I cant figure it out either. I guess I'll just chill with the 2060 super. Thank you for your help!
