I just talked to panda i have their number. Confirmed they are not MXM anymore. it is not the same board it is 8 x pcie slots. I'm still ok with that. Honestly way easier to fix and upgrade if needed.

So does that mean they are just regular graphics cards? That would be nice for resale value.

doubtful, based on pictures I saw, they had passive coolers on them and the chassis fans blew air across them.

They could be reference designs though so you could just change out the heatsink assembly

I guess I don't understand, what is the difference between a MXM card, a normal graphics card, and reference design...etc?

MXM are laptop GPU''s. Reference GPU are ones that ship on first batch when new GPU comes out. They use AMD/NVidia design. Usually boxed type of coolers. Later AIB (XFX,sapphire, ASUS etc.) partners come with their designs - coolers, overclocks and etc.
