Hey guys,
I'm gonna be upgrading to a GTX580 in the next few days, and since i'm now on watercooling, i'm looking for a reference design one that i can fit a full-board block onto (currently looking at the EK block).
I've heard people saying they're all reference design, but i just want to be sure that there's no specific brand that's using it's own layout (there's usually at least one odd-ball in each release).
I did searches both on Search Engines and here on the forums and didn't find any list or defining answer. Perhaps this is something OCUK could add onto future listings on the site, or a list for each card to be made for future releases here on the forum? The former is probably best for those who don't browse the forums much, although it does require more work on OCUK's side.
So, any brand out there to avoid if i'm looking for reference design?
