The price difference between Asus 480 and GB 480 SE will cover the cooler!
Sorted!

This cooler looks like a great buy. Will fitting this cooler void the warranty?
+1 I have this cooler for my 480 (Zotac model) and it is just epic it can be noisy still on full tilt but you can mess with the fan speeds to suit your needs easily enough.
Yes it will I think, it is pretty straight forward to fit though just take your time.

A 480 is a 480 so it should fit any 480 card regardless of who makes it.

AFAIK this is not the case there are non-referance boards out there. I believe the GB 480 SOC and 480SE are both non-referance boards. I think the PCB is different along with the cooler. I am not clear if the changes affect the fitting of the Zalman cooler. It maybe the differences are minor, and the cooler still fits. Or it maybe the changes are small and a quick dremel session can sort out any fitting issues.
But the Asus is a referance board and the Zalman fits perfectly.

Sorry for the hijack, but when I look at the GTX480 section of the website, the SE has gone?
Any idea why it went?
