ALERT: eVGA GTX 260 Core 216 Rev 2 (55nm)

Hey Guys,

JUST TO LET YOU KNOW,

the design for the new 55nm GTX 260 Core 216's, such as from eVGA, has changed from the previous version. The new 55nm version does not fit any full-cover cooling that fit the previous 65nm version.

HOW IT WAS MODIFIED:

Instead of RAM on the back, as with the 65nm version, the RAM is all located on the front of the PCB and the power circuitry is moved to accommodate the extra RAM chips on front. So there's no more back-plate for the GTX 260.

GRAWR. I can't watercool my GTX 260 now...
 
Do you know if the mounting holes around the GPU have changed from the 65nm version? I want to put my Maze4 block on one but I know it didn't fit the older card.
