    Hi all,

    Is there any easy way to tell if my nVidia GTX670 is of nVidia refernce design or not? I'm after a block for it, but as there doesnt seem to be a specific one for Asus 670's, I'm looking at the available reference design blocks.

    It's this card - http://chinese.vr-zone.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/asus_670_5.jpg

    Or, as another angle on it, is anyone on here selling an Asus GTX670 compatible waterblock?

    Cheers.

    It's a custom one. The easiest way to tell is to see if there's a 'NVIDIA' stamp by the PCIE. If there is, it's an NVIDIA reference design, if it doesn't have the stamp or there's something else stamped there, it's a custom board.

    Balls, I thought you might say that. Mine has ASUS stamped on the board by the PCI-e connector. So by what you're saying, this is a custom Asus board, and would either need a specific Asus full cover block, or just cool the GPU on its own and deal with the RAM chips separately.

    Thanks for the info, appreciated.
