How can I tell if my "EVGA GTX 470 SCs" are ref 470s for looking waterblocks? :confused2

    AFAIK, the board itself is the same, just the coolers change with "reference" vs non-reference cards. EVGA, for example, added a backplate and increased the holes in the grill for their non-reference card. Nothing that would affect WC, I would think. There are much better people to weigh in on this, sledge being one.

    As far as I can tell, it's a reference PCB with a non-reference cooler and backplate.
