    pcspecialist customer support FTW!

    O'k so i would just like to thank pcspecialist customer support for such a fast turnaround my GPU failed & i was sent out a new one next day. But not a Palit GTX 680 Jetstream. Just out of curiosity do you think i could sli this card or will it be a bit tight.

    That is the reference card I think and I have those SLI which I believe thinner than the jetstream.

    yeh if you put them so close you want lots of air being directed to that gap, so a side fan is crucial as that will put the most air there, although those kind of fans suck a lot of air in from the end rather than the side, so it wont be as bigger effect as a jetstream

    Its not a reference either, its the other Palit design

    I though Palit has only 2 models for the GTX 680 2gb, the reference card

    and the jetstream:

    The card he got looks like the one I have.

    Are you sure on that mate. I think it is the reference card myself.

    The "reference card" is what ATI/Nvidia make to give other manufacturers a functional card to base their card designs on. The Nvidia GTX 680 reference card looks the same as this.
