Which 480's are/are not reference PCB designs ?

As title, I shall be getting one for a build, and will be putting a FC water block on, so need to ensure I dont get one thats non reference pcb layout
Thanks.

90% of 480's are reference. The only ones that aren't are the MSI Lightnings, POV TGT one and that is all I can think of for now.

The Zotac AMP is reference aswell however you're not going to buy that to then remove the cooler lolz.

You should be pretty safe right now. Like Nath said, 90% of all GTX 480s are reference

I have an Asus GTX480, and yes, it's a reference design.
