EVGA GTX 285 Hydro Copper - Is this a joke or what?

It may be a lot less hassle if you sell the block on ebay, kapaza.be or tweedehands.be, and then just buy an EK block.

This isn't possible. You can't use a different cooler on that graphics card. I don't think that it's a Nvidia reference design.

So you can't sell the Innovatek cooler because it won't fit on a different graphics card. These are especially designed for EVGA but someone screwed it up. This can be Innovatek but I think it's EVGA because if it was Innovatek they would have to replace the inlet and outlet so it extends further on the graphics card.

i believe eVGA also sells the HC blocks seperately, so if you're sure its the eVGA PCB... take that instead of the EK.

Yes, they do but it won't fit on that graphics card.

That's why I said I doubted it was the 720 Mhz card, as that has been discontinued for quite a while. I was looking for a 3rd one a while back and drew a blank.

If you plan to go down the route of getting your own block, you have to check the revision of your PCB. It would be great if it is a rev 1, as I think they are way better cards

There's still isn't a solution for my problem with the EVGA GTX 285 Hydro Copper.

The distributor and EVGA don't want to replace the graphics card. They're saying that a soaked card isn't worth a RMA and they don't see any other problems that doesn't meet the specs like what you can find on their website.

The whole EVGA support is just a joke.


I wonder what would happen if there was something wrong with the card after I used it and send them a soaked card for RMA?

Do you think that they still wouldn't find that a problem and that the soaked card would still be covered for warranty?



It's starting to piss me off and I just want a full refund and that's what my seller is going to do at the end of the week if there's still no solution.
