Do any of the custom cooled (ie non ref exhaust blower type) 980Ti's have an actual reference sized/ spec'd board under the cooler?
Reason I'm asking is.......thinking of getting just one 980Ti to start with and would like one with ACX type cooling (like the EVGA or MSI gamer, or G1) to allow for high overclocks with lowest temps and minimal noise.
BUT.... further down the line I will probably go SLI and would then want to remove the ACX cooler and slap an EVGA Hybrid AIO cooler on it, and have 2 x AIO hybrid cooled 980Ti cards for SLI. Far as I understand AIO hybrid coolers like EVGA's only fit onto 'reference' boards, is that right?
