Which models of the 3080 and 3090 use Nvidia’s reference board design? I’m considering water cooling with EK’s water block. Thanks.

Hi, I noticed youre a mod, sorry to hijack this thread, do you know if the XC3 will have iCX sensors? Thanks!

All cards are non reference this time around. Xc3 does not have the sensors.

Reference is not FE this generation.
Most of the cards have (somewhat) reference designs.

Good to know the xc3 is viewed as a reference card.

Not saying that. We know that already, thats why everybody is asking all boardpartner what cards are Ref PCB. The question is, wich cards are compatible with water blocks that are made for the Ref PCB. @Sajin is it possible you could ask Jacob about that Tweet?

What is needed to be asked? Clearly the xc3 is being viewed as a reference card.

To be honest, I don't think the XC3 is a reference pcb design. The picture posted by Jacob shows the XC3 is a lot longer than the length of the leaked RTX 3090 ref pcb.
The EK block is only 230mm, and looking from the picture, the pcb of the XC3 goes almost all the way down to the shroud minus maybe 10mm. Knowing the XC3 is around 285mm, that leaves the PCB at around 275mm, much much longer than the EK block for the reference pcb. So yea, XC3 definitely doesn't seem like a reference PCB design to me. Which is also a bummer because I was also hoping for slap that EK block on it.

The XC3 has to be. EK has a block for 3090 non fe version. It can't fit the FTW3 or any others that have been shown like KP, FTW3, HC or Hybrid. If this were the case, EK wouldn't have a block listed if it didn't fit any EVGA card.

Ok, so from the EK blog, so far they only confirmed that the following vendors has reference PCB designs in their card: ASUS, Palit, Gainward, PNY, Zotac, Inno3D.
ekwb.com/configurator - You can also go here to see which vendors and cards will be supported by their blocks.
A bit disappointing to not see EVGA on there. I might have to go ASUS on this one, or get the FE and wait for their FE block.

As has been mentioned a few times...ICX3 Cards have been identified as Reference....there likely not confirmed on EK site as they havent gotten there mitts on one yet (I have also seen this on the EK Site), I would think the Evga Card will be added over the next week or so..... jdinh0608

Whatever Card you purchase ....EK will eventually have it identified on there site and a compatible Block, may have to wait a few weeks.....a good time to fully test your Card on air.....prior to getting wet.

You can compare the PCB size of the EVGA XC3 and the ASUS TUF model. The XC3 has a much longer PCB, far exceeding the length of a reference 3090 pcb. My guess is that EVGA did a slightly modified reference design, not a full exact duplicate.

Yeah I will be getting an EK Block.....as soon as there available and confirmed on there site.....plenty of time to bench test whatever 3080 Card I purchase.....I generally bench test my cards for a week or so anyhow prior to installing block and incorporating into my Loop

Jacob stated on Friday on the live show that he's not sure if reference waterblocks will work with the XC3 card or not considering it is a little bit longer.
EK is stating they will be releasing ALL details before 3080 release.
I guess we'll see soon.

Which models of the 3080 and 3090 use Nvidia’s reference board design? I’m considering water cooling with EK’s water block. Thanks.
Reference = 2x8-pin power = 375w max bios. If you want more power, you'll need some sort of XOC bios, shunt mod, or other solution.

EKWB Facebook I believe is the source.
On on "is XC3 reference PCB"? I had originally thought that they were, but NO. It is closely based on the reference PCB design, but EVGA made some small custom changes to it. So there is no guarantee the any of the aftermarket water blocks designed for the reference will work. They might. They might not. It is totally not worth the risk unless you get specific confirmation from the water block manufacture.
