Just added my NZXT G10 to my KFA2 SOC 980, Dropped my temps from 77 degree's to 36 while playing h1z1!

Looks awesome too.:)

I guess so. I don't get that though, does it not look much wider from the picture of the product? http://www.overclockers.co.uk/popup_image.php?prodid=MB-503-GI or is it simply because of how wide the card is?

If buying the same card wouldn't be a good idea for temps. Would it work better if I moved the card down to the next slot and put a reference in the first slot?

The picture is deceiving. Maybe you could slot in the same card and the gap you have might just do it. Could you borrow a card from a friend to try? A bit of a long shot I know, but it's really hard to tell how this would work out for you.

Looks good. You seem to have plenty of space at the top for the 240mm AIO I would have liked to squeeze one on mine. Might give it another look.

Did your GTX 980 have a backplate on as I left mine on ?

I have the same spacing as you there is about 15mm-20mm gap between cards which is the minimum they recommend for SLI.

If you look at my 3rd from bottom picture the G10 is actually wider than the G1 cooler and at the smallest point is about 10mm clearance. So its about right what I said.

No my 980 didnt come with one.

It was only the basic gigabyte 980 and i just flashed the g1 gaming bios onto it.

I wouldn't pay extra for reference unless you're getting multiple cards on air.

If you're comfortable paying that much, get the Classy:

If not then get the standard card and overclock it.

Thanks I just thought the reference card would be shorter than the acx cooler but they are all the same size.
 
Quick question, how do I go about disabling GPU boost in bios tweaker? Is it the boost entry drop down box that I just select disable?
