I'm looking to get a new cooler for my 6850, and I've heard people having problems installing aftermarket coolers on non reference PCBs.
Well I've compared the MSI Cyclone 6850 PCB and a reference pcb, and the only difference I can tell is the position of the 6 pin power input, the layout of the two are basically the same.
Does this mean I will have no problems installing my new cooler, a Gelid Solutions Icy Vision. Reference 6850 are supported by this cooler.
Here are some pics of the reference pcb and my pcb.
