GPU Block 10248 - 5080 Reference compatibility

[Xzar82]

Hi everyone,
possible stupid question incoming, but..
I was about to buy the 10248 - 5080 Reference GPU Block for the reference card I have.
However checking the compatibility list there is no Nvidia reference card.
Given the name of the block, that's because those are the additional compatible PCBs that share the same design of the reference or the only compatible?
Thanks

Since the RTX 2000 series, Nvidia has been offering the Founders Edition directly. The reference design, however, is determined by the largest OEM partner, in this case, Inno3D and its associated sub-brands.
If you check the product page of the cooler in our shop, you’ll find a list of all compatible graphics cards below the item description. Alternatively, you can use the configurator to find the right cooler for your specific graphics card.

You’re not the only one who’s confused by the Founders Edition and the reference design.
