Reference Nvidia GTX 980 ti - looking for a new shroud

[speaktorob]

So a while back, to deal with the fan noise of the old blower style shrouds on the reference cards, I chucked it and installed the monster that is a Raijintek MORPHEUS 8069, with a couple Noctuas on it. Did the job but quite unwieldy tbh.

Anyone know which boards would have a compatible shroud for it? I know the EVGA used the reference board but wondering if any other manufacturers did. I want to put something sensible back on it, but I'm having a hard time getting hold of even a faulty reference board for a reasonable price.

Hah! Kind of, although whatever I get needs to be dirt cheap - hence why I'm focussing on broken cards, since they likely will have a working fan. Did MSI use the reference layout too?

no idea, you can see the fixing centers in the seller listings though,
so what are you missing? the heatsink or just the plastic cover?

I was dumb enough to bin the whole shroud. So all I have now is the bare bones card. Live and learn!
