Now message from overclockers UK

 

Right to prepare you guys.

Tomorrows email will give you options, you need to reply with your first choice, second choice and third choice or if you want a refund.

So if the first choice is sold out, we automatically choose your second choice. etc.

Remember all cards are reference design, all have BF4.

My options are:

 

Asus,

Sapphire,

HIS,

Gigabyte,

MSI

 

Question?

 

But which ones will be compatible with the EK water block?

 

Thanks guys and girls for your help...

 

Spanners...

I think they are all the same Exept for heatsinks

By this I mean that the main boards are the same

[Venomz1337]

All the cards underneath should be the same shouldn't they?

[boggle4321]

if they are all reference they will all be compatible with the water-block. just pick which one you like the logo of the most

[hehehehhehehehe]

I would go

1. Asus

2. Gigabyte

3. MSI

And the water blocks will be compatible with all of the cards since they are all reference PCB's

Nice one guys....

1. MSI

2. Asus

3. Gigabyte

 

would be my choice. I do like MSI verry much, hence all my cards from them overlcocked like beast. Asus was good too, but i personally dont fine they look that appealing to me. Gigabyte is good aswell, but didn't overclock as high as the others for me till now.

Since all the cards are the same with different stickers on, just grab the card with the best warranty:)
