​@@MrStrangeUsername It was easy actually. Just purchased some circular zip ties, heavy duty. I tightened each one equally very carefully while keeping it flat on top. Then I tightened each the same as a half turn for screws concept. And it works amazing. Not a single issue. 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. Take a zip tie, cut off the end that clips on. Now you can just make it climb up without needing to wrap around :)

I had to solder on some of those small fan headers from an old GPU I had laying around to get the 120mm fans connected to the GPU. Thermals and noise are pretty impressive. 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.

"straping a CPU cooler to a GPU" LEGIT!

[@Biggietoe244]

when i was originally attaching my Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo to my r9 285 a few years ago I didnt have any aftermarket bracket or screws that were manufactured. What I did was I got washers and screws from ACE hardware, and I fabricated my own bracket out the side panel of an old Compaq PC case. Everything fit snuggly and even without a fan temperatures maxed out nearly 60C. If you have an old CPU aftermarket cooler, this upgrade can actually cost as little as the screws and washers you buy which is at most 2-3 dollars.

He means only turn it half a rotation at a time when tightening. Not that you should only screw it in half a rotation.

I know it's been a long time but where did you get the GPU standoffs? Or does the Zotac have them like the Asus? I've got a Gigabyte that doesn't and want to install cpu cooler like this.

@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

Two tower air coolers in one computer just looks badass, even if it isn’t practical.

[@leonsmuk4461]

I think you guys did a video talking about Cooler performance when possitioned Hanging/Sideways/Standing (maybe it was GN, not sure) that resulted in the worst cooling performance when Hanging (e.g. this cooler on the GPU). Is there any case where you could put the Mainboard in upside-down so a GPU in this config would be Standing or do I have to make my own case for that?

[@aled-wynhughes7860]

I have a question, would the tower cooler loose efficiency from running upside down? My thinking is that if the heat pipes rely on evaporation and condensation to transfer heat then the liquid would have to rely on solely capillary action to return to the hot plate working against gravity as the denser state. I may be over complicating things but I thought I would ask.

[@windhelmguard5295]

i do not believe that there are too many people who use more than one pcie slot. i mean there might still be people out there who can totally here the difference between modern onboard sound and a dedicated sound card, but that's about it. anyone who would run multiple cards in SLI either doesn't care about thermals or has enough cash to water cool the whole thing.

[@FalbertForester]

So, how did using the custom heat sink/spreader for the VRMs work? Did they stay in spec?

[@kcgunesq]

While I can appreciate the effectiveness of this solution and could see it being the best option in some use cases, i don't know that i'd want to lose access to all of the remaining expansion slots.

[@hananas2]

@@chancepennington6653 sorry for the late reply but yes! I have a single tower CPU cooler on my 1660 ti and it's incredibly quiet, in a full 100% load, I need to take off my headphones and put my ear right next to my PC to hear it. I'm using a 120mm be quiet fan connected to the GPU fan header with an adapter, so it's even controlled properly by the GPU temps! I have a way overkill cooler on my CPU as well with a be quiet fan running at 450 rpm.

[@kryptux2463]

I actually like it and fills the case nicely with the tower cooler on the cpu.

[@CoxTH]

Aaaah, I remember doing something like this for the GTS 450 in my first PC. The fan on that thing died, so in more demanding games, my PC would just shut down due to overheating. I got a cheap cooler (that thing didn't even have a proper fan connector and just ran off a Molex) and slapped it on there. Worked like a charm!

@@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.

Hey Linus i was wondering i was thinking of using a Ryzen 7 wrath pryzem cooler for this sort of idea, you think it would work? If so i have an older RX 480 red devil 8gb that im wanting to try this with but im not 100% sure what to do since im not too tech savvy when it comes to knowing what to cool and what not to. I think ive seen you with said cooler once before but would it be possible for you to do something with said cooler and card? Thanks agian!
