Hi there,

 

so i want to buy a 780 ti and watercool it with an xs-pc waterblock. The xs-pc waterblock supports all reference design cards, so i want to ask which are reference designs? 

Because for example the Gigabyte one is very cheap, and i know it looks very different, but what matters is the pcb and the pcb only isnt it? So how do i know if it is working?

Is this one working?

thanks

With AMD cards the PCB will have AMD markings. With nVidia, no clue. My ref cards say EVGA on the PCB.

 

I would call the water block manufacturer. They would know.

All of the cards with the reference Titan cooler use reference pcb's. 

The Windforce, ACX, AMP!, and Twin Frozr also use reference or similar enough pcb's.

You can use this http://www.coolingconfigurator.com/

 

If the reference blocks fit a card then the XSPC one will also fit it.

alright thanks guys i will look into it. Another fairly unrelated question, did you have any experiences with the xspc watercooling stuff yet? I like the clean look, but someone told be they do terrible stuff...

I was searching for some waterblock benchmarks but didnt find any..
