Does the Asus GTX 1080 Turbo use the reference PCB?

[Johnmakuta]

I'm looking for the cheapest GTX 1080 I can get my hands on because I plan to watercool it anyway so it doesn't matter what the original cooler is. I found the Asus GTX 1080 Turbo because it's the only GTX 1080 actually at MSRP! Will the waterblock for the founders edition fit on this card?

no, it is not

how much modified vs reference .. dunno; but it has a PWM fan connector (near the power connector) for a case fan

 

you should check compatibility with waterblock manufacturer

No, the Turbo isn't based on a reference PCB.

I actually found one of the last few waterblocks on the market that still make asus turbo 1080 cooling blocks. it's expensive, but the quality is amazing. check it out: http://www.performance-pcs.com/alphacool-nexxxos-gpx-nvidia-geforce-gtx-1080-m10-incl-backplate-black.html#Specifications

I think if performance pc runs out, you can go directly to alphacool's website to look it up.

I use bitspower blocks for my 1080 turbo.
