Reference or Not

[Mamod334]

Are either of these reference cards.

Powercolor 5870 PCS+ 1Gb

Sapphire 5870 1Gb ( with black cooler)

The reason I ask is because I am sure that I want to watercool my computer in the future but all 5870 blocks are reference cards only, so as long as a water block fits on? it's fine.

that third link dont work for me.

aren't they just all reference boards with just different cooling added

 

[Mamod334]

Yes that's what I thought.
so which would be best as they are all at about the same price point.

u should remove the third link and the retailer name, its not allowed here.

buy one that allows you to fit a waterblock without screwing the warranty up.

not sure which ones allow this sorry.
