GTX580UD
« on: February 25, 2011, 09:02:00 pm »
I have 2 GIGABYTE GTX580 and I only bought them a few days ago...

anyway I saw on the shop I bought them from they start selling the UD version and I want it unless it have a non reference PCB


so my question is does th GTX580UD have a stock PCB or not ?

and will I be able to put a EK full cover block on it?


edit:
also if I change the cooler is my warranty still intact ?
and second if I only replace the core cooler what about it then ? (I mean a GPU only block)

Hi and welcome to the Gigabyte Forum.

Right well generally any changes that you make to the hardware of a component will invalidate your warranty. Same problem as I always face when watercooling my systems.

EK have a good list of full cover and GPU only blocks and which makes/models of card they will fit. I really am not sure whether the Gigabyte 580 is still reference or not but most of their cards do not stick to the reference design. I can try and find out for you but it might take a while to get an answer.

No I have just had it confirmed that it is indeed NOT a reference design.
