Why would you do that?

 

Anyhow it should have a reference board and even if it does it could be tricky, but I'm not sure.

If the Card has a Reference PCB it would probably work but if its a PCB made by the Manuf then i doubt it would be easy to make it fit the oem cooler and if you did it wouldnt look like an oem as it wouldnt sit exactly the same, Either way wouldnt the 3rd party solution work better? all that work for lessCooling?

I mean if your serious about this you would have to make sure its 100% Reference PCB then somewhere get diagrams of it with holes and such for mounting and the dimensions before attempting, but to buy a card specifically to maybe rig a stock cooler doesn't make sense why not just buy the reference card to begin with

no

 

even if they use the reference pcb that doesnt mean the components they put on the pcb are the same size and height
