Msi RTX 5070 TI Ventus 3x OC

[jens84]

Hi,
I bought the Msi RTX 5070 TI Ventus 3x OC and the Alphacool Core Geforce RTX 5080 Reference Block.
The PN on the Shopsite was given as V531-092R but the on the case that I got it says V531-445

From the configurator I would say it does not match? Can somebody tell if the pcb should match the reference design?

Thanks

As of now, we're not aware of MSI having changed the PCB. A new PCB number doesn’t necessarily mean that the cooler won't fit — sometimes it's just a minor revision that has no effect on cooler compatibility.
However, the only way to be certain is to take a look at the PCB without the air cooler installed. If you can provide a picture of the PCB without the stock cooler — either by uploading it here or sending it to our support team — we can check compatibility quite quickly.

Thanks for the response, my Problem is however right now I haven't opened the box. If I open it and remove the cooler I can't return it anymore.

What is the reason the the modelnumber is given for some cards in thr compability list but not for others? For example the inspire card does not have the brackets?

To ask the question that's really bothering, will there be a new cooler for this card if the PCB did change?
