GPU in generally is really to noisy from the manufactors site. In my opinion we pay way to much money for a gpu which usally is around 70 degrees while gaming and the graphics card is way to loud while gaming, even with a case with a nice airflow. I really love Linus tips! 🔥

And my temp never gets above 50 now on my 1660 super with oc, netting me an extra 100 mhz giving 1-4 fps extra. that's a big deal. And I can't hear it. btw, I used liquid metal :) put nail polish around the parts, put a VERY thin layer on. but regular thermal paste work good too. Liquid metal just allows me to keep the fan literally completely quiet. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fYCTpaOphdJjfJo In the video you can see the 4 holes, very simple. here is a trick.

Even with an fairly high OC and under full load, I never saw it getting above 55°C while not even hearing any fans noise at all.

The whole 'cover up the other slots with your video card' thing is INSANE & part of the reason I haven't bought a PC new PC in over 20 years =)) The very least they should do is combine GPU & CPU cooling by making it standard by pointing the video card upward into the CPU cooler or something, which could also cool the RAM, all with a single fan = very simple solutions but would require changing from the 'ATX' type standard, which is so beyond obsolete as all these fools buy motherboards where U can't even get 2 half the slots, which R all useless N E waze as they stopped including legacy 32 bit PCI LOL

[@gekkehenkie0001]

I still consider GPU card designers a tad lazy. Up to now I have always managed to cool my GFX cards (semi) fanless by replacing the whining, noisy fan for a CPU cooler. With a correct case airflow setup you won't need an extra fan up to 80W DTP. And above that, just add a 500-800 RPM silent 120mm fan. Especially the Quadro cards were excellent for it (while they came with the worst cooling fans) And I still hope to be able to do that with the newer RTX cards once I am able to actually buy one. update: I got another (second hand) quadro, the P4000 to be exact. And yes I modded that also with a aftermarket GPU heatsink that could take 200W. It was a bit tricky taking everything apart, but I once again have a silent card. All it requires is the bottom fan of my Lian-li Lancool II and even under heavy load it stays under 50 degrees C while the entire case remains whisper silent

I just removed the three 85mm fans with their plastic cage from my loud AMD R9-390 and replaced them with three 120mm arctic F12 PWM PST fans that I fixed with plastik straps. Thanks to PST all three fans can share one unused 4pin connector on the mainboard and I can change the speed in the BIOs or with the driver-software for the board for all three fans. Dropped the temp from 90°C to 65°C and the fans are really quiet at 1000rpm. The size got up from a two slot board to a two and a half slot board. No need to waste more place with a big CPU-Cooler. I like to think that would work with the card in the video too.

@@moonsugarmedia4388 Because the new holes are right next to the ones from the factory, a drill press is your best bet. Trying to do this by hand would be a pain. You would have to start with a small bit and step up to prevent the bit from slipping into the adjacent hole. A properly clamped bracket in a drill press won't be an issue.

I wouldn't call that a solution to card-sag rather than a temporary patch. Sure, it's working now, but after who knows how many hours of vibration, the fact that the entire weight of both the card and the heat sink/fans is being supported by only 1 side of the bracket will likely lead to one edge of the heat sink eventually losing thermal conductivity. It will be pulled away on one side, basically. I'd still look into further support for the back end of the card though. Maybe not that vertical acrylic strut, but I know in my case I've had good luck using a similar method, just from the back end rather than underneath it. I don't have a machine shop, so I just bought a cheap acrylic rod and took my dremel to it. Cut 2 holes in the side then used a hammer to flush-mount some stands with the bottom cut off to act as anchors for inside a drive bay, then ground a little slot in the other end to slip over the back of the card. I had to adapt it later on to add a 2nd piece that would allow it to slide UNDER the card and latch around the top, as my Rog Strix 1070Ti has a similar heat shroud to that card. No real bare-card exposure to use the bar on.

[@m3mph1st0]

I would have loved to seen some overclocking numbers between those two heat sinks

@Asian Rice Farmer that's true. That's why they sell overclocking gear and put all the options on motherboards. And why Intel sells a K SKU

[@stefan514]

[@windhelmguard5295]

the case i'm currently using came with holes in it's side panel in a perfect spot for such a configuration to make sense.

[@SianaGearz]

@@windhelmguard5295 Holes in the side panel is only half the story. Because that air has to go somewhere, and i mean, there's a mainboard in the way.

[@windhelmguard5295]

@@SianaGearz i don't think the main board is going to complain about getting some air too, as for where it goes after that, air will find a way.

[@SianaGearz]

​@@windhelmguard5295 The mainboard surely doesn't mind, but i slightly disagree with "air will find a way", i mean it will if forced to, but it won't necessarily be happy about it. And what's forcing it is a fan that has a very moderate static pressure capability. Having to evade around the sockets to left and right creates extra noise and provides a degree of airflow impedance, so airflow will be reduced compared to running straight through. Also the air that goes left has a straight path out of the case, but what does the air that goes right do? a good portion of it may cycle right back through the cooler, being already warmed up, reducing cold-end delta and thus cooling efficiency. It can for sure still make sense when you have a direct cold air intake from the outside via the side panel, and giving it a little shroud or air guide to prevent the air from recirculating the short way around can put it at an advantage, if the intake isn't too restrictive.

[@MrHeHim]

Did this WAY back when I had a HD 4850, but I used a much smaller mini tower cooler (with 3 heat pipes) I ripped out of a broken HP business desktop. Then pencil modded (volt mod) to get an insane overclock. I'm sure I had it stable at over 1GHz (650MHz stock) but ran it at around 900MHz to keep it quiet. This had to be around 2008 and, yes.. It ran Crysis ;-) I strapped it on by drilling holes into the heat sinks legs to get zip ties in, but I slipped springs into them and used just the heads of the zip ties to fasten them to the GPU. Amazingly effective and simple

@@fredrikcarlen3212 I couldn't. But i really don't care, i can just walk into a store and get a variety of RAM heatsinks, little heatsinks for the Raspberry Pi processors, MOSFET heatsinks, thermal adhesive of various kinds, or just reach into my box of discarded heatsinks, take something low profile and chop it down with a little hacksaw. Easy enough to rig up something decent, use imagination and whatever you're comfortable with.

Also CPU temps probably much better since the GPU don't exhaust the heat back into the case, which means less noise from the CPU cooler and also in some cases more OC headroom.

What you're telling me -> I need a big case like my Corsair Carbide Series Air 540 High Airflow ATX Cube Case, then to tear apart my GPU & add a tower cooler for ease of replacing components down the line, less noise, & better temps. Drill & clamp no problem. All sorts of different size acrylic rods as well as heat sinks are available from Amazon, Newegg, Walmart, & other retail sources. Sounds good, had to remove the top bars on my RAM for tower cooler clearance during original build, because 52 mm is NOT 55 mm. What I'm telling you -> I'd like to see the results of you doing this with a tiny cooler in a mid size or smaller tower.
