titan/780 cooler fit on a 680?

[Dan]

im just curious as that would be freaking sweet. i sold my 780 for a 680+ cash but i miss the cooler any ideas?

Unless their boards are laid out exactly the same (which they aren't if you google image search "gtx 680 pcb" and "gtx 780 pcb" and compare the results), the reference cooler won't fit on the GTX 680. You'll probably be better off with the stock GTX 680 cooler or a good aftermarket cooler like the Arctic Cooling Extreme 3.

Note: The Extreme 3 is compatible with the GTX 780/Titan because the mounting holes around the GPU are the same for both chips, but the layout of the boards are different.
