Oh no, i got the non reference one(center mounted fan), looks a lot like sapphire Vapor-x cooler, lacks software voltage control but some says run super cool, this part got 5 star in new egg.^^^
well you're lucky to have sold the card for 1k hit(considering the heat!!)
if you want to overclock the card to insane levels(read unlocked multiplier)
flash the card's stock bios to asus bios(no idea how its done)
people in overclock.net use reference cards with flashed asus bios and a cheap 30$ aftermarket cooler
and overclock the crap out of it!!
seems like you made a lucky decision getting reference card
since more modifications are possible...
total damage?
2k-3k more for aftermarket cooler
and a little bit of innovation to go with it!!
good luck!!!
