GPU block compatibility 980ti

[COCAINZOR]

Hello,
I have this card,
http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-Installed-Backplate-Graphics-06G-P4-4995-KR/dp/B00YDAYOK0

and i ordered this gpu block
http://www.swiftech.com/KOMODO-NV-TITANX-ECO.aspx

That block is for the titan x, not the 980 ti

 

[ShakedG]

Sorry, it says it does support reference 980 ti

 

[COCAINZOR]

it does,
"... compatible with Nvidia's GeForce GTX TITAN X, and GTX 980 TI flagship graphics cards using Nvidia's reference PCB design (PG600)."



im just confused. all gpu blocks for 980ti's only support reference cards, but mine is the custom evga

From this page's compatibility tab we can see that this EVGA waterblock supports both a reference gtx 980 ti and the SC+. Which means that any reference gtx 980 ti waterblock will fit, including the one you bought.
So yes, it will work.

It's not custom, just the ACX cooler is. The PCB is reference, and so are the mosfets and vrms.

ah ok, Now i gave swiftech support a call and they said it only supports 980ti reference cards where it exhausts in the back. Im so disappointed.

maybe the build is different on evga's waterblock to allow compatibility for reference and non-reference cards\

I'd be down to give it a try,. b/c swiftech charges a 15% restock fee

i dont see anywhere where my gpu has the PG600 pcb design

Well like I said, EVGA's waterblock looks exactly like Swiftech's waterblock, and supports the reference blower style card (as seen under compatibility tab), so I imagine Swiftech is just covering their own ass here, and the waterblock fits. Since you already ordered it might as well try it out and see for yourself.

it does have the same pcb board (PG600)

this is great news
