I'm looking for a cooler for my new Jetstream card but I can't seem to find information about the board design. Is it reference or not and has anyone successfully installed a custom cooler on the card?

Why do you want to change the cooler? Is the stock cooler not good enough?
It's not terrible or anything. It's just that I mine with it and my PC is in my bedroom so in the dead of night with no other ambient noise it is slightly irritating sometimes.
Understood. Aren't you afraid of losing your warranty though?
What if he sent it back in with the original cooler on? It'll be fine.
Warranty sticker would be tampered with?
I’ve never seen a warranty sticker on a GPU that would be removed by installing an aftermarket cooler. Also, glue that shit back on with Bostick.

no, all GPUs will void the warranty if you tamper with the way it came to you,
However, Arctic Accelero is the best and only aftermarket GPU cooling solutions available -
I have a blower GTX970 I'm trying to fix up currently with the above, as it is shutting my PC down when playing games, due to getting excessively hot ;( its sad; weather In cape town is also partly to blame;

I don't see how they would police that unless there was a sticker over one of the screw sockets that said 'void if removed'. Surely, anyone with a bit of nouse would know how to replace a cooler?
I am. How would they tell without taking the card apart themselves?Not sure if serious?

Well yes, if you break that then they will know but I've had a few cards where the sticker is on the PCB so you can't do what you want.Cards come with stickers/seals over screws and other vital pieces needed to remove the heatsink. Just like with PSU's, hard drives and some other hardware. So if the sticker/seal is tampered with or broken, they know the card has been fiddled with. Goodbye warranty.

Obvious warranty sticker is obvious.
Really? I stand corrected then. Have never come accross a piece of hardware where the sticker isnt over a vital screw or component in disassembling the hardware.
This^Powercolor Zotac Gigabyte Galax Evga.. no sticker.
This is just the brands I own right now
