Where to get original Nvidia card cases?

Hi, I've been looking at a number of nvidia cards, and I've noticed that they're all made by other companies. I really like the look of nvidia's stock cards, but I can't find the stock cases anywhere except on Best Buy, which is overpriced. Is there any way to get a stock cover for newer Nvidia cards? Thanks.

The 770, 780, 780Ti and Titan have the really cool looking stock cooler, some manufacturers do these cards, most of them don't. The 770 is the hardest to get the fancy looking stock cooler, but EVGA still do it in all it's stocky glory.

The 760 has the stock cooler coming from quite a few manufacturers, the ones I've got are from MSI and they're stock.

Newegg is probably the best place? I'm not 100% sure though as I'm from the UK, so never use 'em.

Personally I'm with ya, I much prefer the stock coolers as well, not just for the looks, but because they keep heat out the case instead of just pumping all that heat out to heat everything else up.

Stock coolers are generally fine if you are doing no Overclocking. If OC'ing I would def recommend an aftermarket design from MSI or ASUS. I have this triple slot 680 and it has been the best card I have ever owned to date.

of course you probably want to go for the 770 or better but I am just saying that the TOP triple slot cooler is top notch, same thing with MSIs TF3, 4? IDK I havent been keeping tabs lately.

Remember that those aftermarket coolers will keep the card cooler and be more quiet while doing it. So even though you may prefer one look over the other you tend to get better performance out of the aftermarket dual/triple fan configurations. Stock blower style coolers tend to overheat so the card has to throttle back the core clock to keep it within safe temperatures where as an aftermarket will cool enough that you can over clock the card.

To be fair, Nvidia cards overclock themselves anyway. I've never really seen the point of overclocking them manually. Hell, mine still manage 1150Mhz (Boosting up from 980), and I've never really seen it downclock from that. They're pretty damn quiet as well, then again that's compared to my 7950s (which were like jet engines even at 60%).

But, you're most likely right, an aftermarket cooler will probably take you a bit higher, but I'm still happy managing those clock speeds with the noise level as well, and these are the cheapy 760 stock coolers!
