I'm in the same boat. The 280 block won't fit. XSPC, Koolance and Aqua-PC have some 285 ones on the way, should be out in a week or two.

The Koolance one looks superb. Think I'm going to get that one myself.

As long as its a reference card then yea.

z10m · 29 Jan 2009 at 12:13

i just found that: "BFG proudly presents four overclocked GeForce GTX 285 graphics cards. The cards respectively increasing in clock frequency and price, will be branded OC, OC+, OC2 and OCX. BFG has decided to use the card's reference PCB-layout and cooler, only changing the sticker." if its true than everything should be fine.

Was that full cover? This is where core only blocks come into their own. You can also re-use them on upgrades unlike the full cover blocks which you have to change when you change card.

yes it was a full cover that covers GPU, RAM and also MOFSETS
