hey guys,
does someone know if it's possible to identify a GPU (specifically a GTX 1080) as reference/founders edition without looking at the fan/cooler?
i'm asking, cuz i'm about to buy a used gtx 1080 and the seller admits to having used it with watercooling and just recently put the original cooler back on.
so i was thinking:
is it technically possible, someone just buys an original cooler (~10bucks) and slaps it on a non-reference card to make it look like reference/FE and no one could ever tell the difference ?!?
...lol, guess i sound a little paranoid... but it's a lot of money for me... and i'm buying off the internet and people do crazy stuff on the internet... ^^
anyways, thanks in advance!
