hd 6870 referenced

[Superkirbz13]

I bought a xfx hd 6870 and a koolance vid-ar687 to cool it but it turns out its not reference so now I want to find a reference model to put them in xfire and just watercolor the one. Anybody know what brand I can get that will definitely be reference to wrk with this waterblock?

Thanks, would this work in crossfire with a 1gb card? Or do you know of a 1gb card that's reference?

They will crossfire... I think they will both only use 1 gb of memory at that point though...

just use the website I posted in the first site go to newegg or some other site and go down 1 by 1 until you find one that has a vga full cover available... if the full cover is available that means it's the reference design. Typically water block manufacturers only make water blocks for reference designs because then they can make one block that will work with many cards
