Pefect, thank you! For next time - how does one check?
Reference cards have a shroud with the 1 smaller fan that expels hot air through the "exhaust" (a little vent next to where you plug in the HDMI cable)
Non-reference cards are more open-air style with 2 or 3 fans. Often there is an air gap between the shroud and exhaust making heat expulsion less efficient.
