Is my 780 ti reference?

I'm looking to install one of these:

Onto my new 780 ti (probably the acetal + nickel one). However I am unsure if it will work with my card as I am not sure if it is reference or not.

My card:

According to what EK says, it says that SOME of the Windforce cards that are rev. 1 will for it, but I was wondering if anyone can tell me if it it'll fit my version.

Thanks all! Any other tips welcomed, I am an experienced craftsman but this is still my first custom built loop.

Sorry, edited. Didn't realize it posted mobile.

Still can't see it. Obviously can't tell you anything since we have no idea what card we have.
For the 780ti, most brands (other than EVGA), anything other than the single blower fan on it and it is probably not reference. They still almost certainly have a block for it but obviously you need to know exactly what you have to get the right one.

My god, not my day, doesn't help that I'm doing this from work and on my phone. Should work now. And yeah that's what I assumed, but like I said, they make it seem like certain Windforce cards are supported.

There are fans on it, it's a reference card.
Your welcome 😉

See that "8+2 phase VRM power design" they advertise on some of the Windforce? Reference is 6. This is why EK says you need to check the PCB and see what you have, because Gigabyte did not make them all the same. So yea if we take this guy's suggestion and get the wrong waterblock our VRMs overheat and our card fries. Thanks bud!

Anyways, to the OP, EK sells two different blocks for that card. You really need to pop the cooler off and see what PCB your card has to tell which block to get. If you are unsure, send a picture to EK and they will tell you. Or post it here.

Fantastic, thank you very much. I have some fan rattle so I will probably be popping the cooler off anyways. I'll take a picture when I do and send it to EK. Thanks again!
