That is a vague question.
Which cards? Some will be reference and some will not be. You will need to provide card names or part numbers.

How is it vague when there are literally only two models available? I have the same question. I have the XC gaming (11G-P4-2382-KR) and a nVidia FE on order. Yesterday, EK announced that blocks would be coming for the 2080Ti at launch but this assumes reference cards. If the EVGA is custom PCB then I need to cancel.

Thats the same reason for my question ;)
So someone can post which one have a reference design?

I am Not finding a reference about "EK announced" a Water Block for the new 2080 or 2080 Ti do you have a Link? Leave off the http:// or https:// due to low number of Posts.

EVGA announced quite a few cards yesterday, and all available cards will be reference PCB for the time being, as far as we can tell. The custom pcb’s take time to create the actual pcb, so there will be a few weeks before they are released for sale.

so thats the reason... my card is a 980ti Classified with a EK Waterblock,
i would love to buy a eVGA Card, but only when the Block fits, not in a
few months, after release.

I can't seem to post a link but go to Twitter and search @ekwaterblocks. It's their two most recent posts. the_Scarlet_one

Thanks and it makes perfect sense that these would have to be reference given the timeline. Can someone from EVGA confirm 100% before I cancel my FE pre-order :) stylistics

Well that's what we're trying to confirm here: that the 2080 and 2080Ti cards from EVGA releasing on 9/20 are reference cards. If so, and according to Scarlet it would appear they are, then the EK blocks will fit. Again though, it'd be really helpful if someone from EVGA can chime in.

Same situation here. I would rather get EVGA than FE. But I do need reference PCB for future liquid cooled build.

Does anyone know a mod to PM? Between Twitter and this forum I don't understand why we can't get a quick answer to this question given it affects people's decision to make a purchase.

The techs are very busy with this launch, especially those hat have the answer you are requesting.
The mods only help out around the forum, they do not have insider information unless the tech gives it to them, which would probably be easier for the tech to just come in here and answer you.
Give them time, and hopefully they will get you a response. Do not cancel your preorder.

Aquatuning has put its 2080/Ti blocks up for pre-order:
aquatuning.us/new-products
There are two blocks, each showing a compatibility for 2080 FE and 2080Ti FE only. This may help confirm that only the Founder's cards are using reference PCB (I sent Aquatuning an email to ask) and that would suggest EK's blocks will also, only be compatible for FE cards.

If I understand correctly, the FE's are reference boards. On the last series [10] the FE and similar SC used the same block. Then again I'm limited in my knowledge so I would double check.

Correct, FEs are reference but to your point about one of the 10-series SC models being able to utilize a FE block - that's why some of us are curious. It sounds like a non-issue but for me specifically I've got a EVGA pre-order with an ETA of 9/21 and a FE pre-order with ETA of 10/8. If the EVGA card happens to be reference and can use the EK or Aquatuning blocks available on 9/20, then I'd keep the EVGA so I can get it 3 weeks sooner (and save $50).

I am confident that all current non-founders-edition cooler cards from all AIBs have reference PCB.
As one can check the current EVGA models dont have any fancy ICX2 features such as multiple temp sensors. All those non-reference boards appear later than on 20th Sept.

Some of them are reference based, I would image the normal XC and XC Ultra share the same layout of the FE, same with other AIBs. However most AIBs including EVGA have there own custom PCB layout for anything above there base line cards. In all, every card this generation has different layout and PCB.

But if you checkout these Video it seams that the XC2 Ultra might be a FE PCB.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GuKm8z2CGVs
XC2 is supposed to be the ICX2 variant, which will have new sensors and fuses onboard, making it non-reference. Also usethe “share” link and put it in brackets: [tube ]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GuKm8z2CGVs[ /tube] Remove the space in the bracket and you can embed the video.

Got a response from Aquatuning:
Thank you for your request.
The 3rd party use at the beginning the reference Layout but I think that in the future will comes custom Layouts from the 3rd party.
I followed up asking if they could confirm that their two blocks available for 2080 and Ti will fit these AIB launch cards so we'll see. I have a feeling they'll be hesitant to confirm it outright so as not to potentially be wrong.
EVGA responded to me saying:
Only the founders editions would be considered reference. I would highly recommend on contacting EK in order to verify the part number of the cards tested with the block. Please let us know if you have any other questions or concerns in order to support you further.
So I feel like I haven't really gotten anywhere lol.

But not exactly reference, right? I think at this point the safe bet would be for me to assume that the initial blocks from EK and Alphacool will fit only Founder's cards.

Thanks. I totally understand it's not a guarantee and I'm only torn because my EVGA XC is being delivered 9/21 but my FE not shipping until 10/8. I CAN wait 2.5 weeks but I don't want to lol. Maybe I will take delivery of the EVGA and see if someone has successfully installed the EK or Alphacool block on it. If nobody attempts or I can't find it I will just take the FE and re-sell the EVGA. Thanks Jacob! And if anyone here gets a 2080Ti XC and successfully puts the EK or one of the available Alphacool blocks on it, PLEASE update this thread. Thanks.
