Erick breaks some records with an ULTRA modded workstation GPU. See what special binned silicon, a shunt mod, overclocking, and a custom milled cooler with looks inspired by the legendary EVGA Kingpin can do!

GPU manufacturers TAKE NOTE. MODULARITY.

[@DanielCardei]

My wallet its modular too. Sometimes its TICC for 1 or 2 days and after it shrinks to quantum realm.

[@kokumosu]

Modular as well as not skimping on cooling. A full copper heatsink would do WONDERS on not only heat efficiency, but space as we currently see how much is needed to cool current gen cards

[@VOYSTAN]

@@kokumosu copper is to expensive and modular desine is also expensive

[@mikaelbiilmann6826]

They are probably mad now! 😂

[@lesliegrace8360]

Modularity; Asus voids your warranty with stickers

[@konradybcio]

bro casually made a custom backplate & 2 front plates for a 6 minute video

[@dylanevans5644]

Right 🤣 I wonder if all of the tolerances are from calliper measurements. Looking at the lengths DeBauer goes to ensure micron-tolerance in his products I'm amazed a custom heatsink machined 'at home' is this capable.

[@npyrhone2]

@@dylanevans5644 I get what you are saying, and the reason is economies of scale. If you have the proper equipment and know how to use it, you can handmake things like that. And it is very impressive indeed! But having the process for hundreds of units is something completely different. When you can't just maneuver your way around problems at the rate they appear on each individual unit, that's when tolerances and process finetuning starts to matter so much more.

[@jon4715]

You all need to produce a batch of these parts…I would buy a kit.

[@saksham01]

I LOVE THE KINGPIN VIBE! THATS SO COOL

[@greebuh]

1080 ti kingpin was is the nicest looking car to date.

[@yensteel]

​@@greebuh It totally is! That mesh of copper heatsink with dark fans created a new aesthetic.

[@greebuh]

@yensteel it would have been nice to see EVGA keep making cards. My old 2080 ti ftw3 ultra was really nice after I got the cage looking fan shroud accessory but it didn't hold a match to the old Kingpin.

[@Apollo-Computers]

@greebuh yep. I have the 2080 ti kp and 3090 kp and have still been looking to get a 1080 ti kp, it really was the best pcb ever on a consumer gpu. I was actually a bit disappointed with the 3090 kp .

[@greebuh]

@Apollo-Computers They aren't cheap either, a broken on on ebay is going for 500 bucks lmao

[@CODE-BROWN]

If only Nvidia didn't compete against its board partners, people like you would be able to get into the business without getting shafted by the OEM. Excellent production, I would love to have something like this.

[@daveb6345]

It's why EVGA left.... they were awesome cards back in the day.

[@666dreamboat]

Most modern gpu coolers are so overcomplicated. This looks beautiful, is simple to maintain and performs great too. Rad work, nfc.

[@doodskie999]

At this point, NFC should buy EVGA's GPU business, I'd definitely buy from him!

[@nfcerick3634]

We can barely afford our business! Thank you for the compliment.

[@sepehr57]

dude came, saw, conquered and didn't even explained his build process XD

[@Lurch-Bot]

I almost turned it off because it felt like low quality AI content usually used to scam people for the first minute. Yeah, I wanna know a lot more about their process but, on the other hand, I don't think I need them to in order to replicate the results. They probably think they stumbled onto some great secret for air cooling and need to keep it close to the vest when anyone who has studied physics at the undergrad level can likely figure out for themselves whatever they are considering a 'trade secret', lol. Also, they claimed to have set a world record but provided zero proof. You need screen shots showing that you're number one, while logged into 3DMark under the same account you posted the result. Something tells me this is half BS. And the part that is BS is the part that sounds most impressive. They probably set a record for specific CPU/GPU combo and used an i3-10105 so they'd have zero competition. I've set a lot of 'records' this way using CPUs such as the i5 3570s where almost nobody has paired them with the modern GPU I'm benchmarking.

[@kahlinkoertner5241]

Just like your other videos. Your craftsmanship and knowledge makes us lesser being melt from the inside out. Great work. Please share solid models

Our files are free and currently available for NFC Patreon members. There are a ton of other SFF files there too!

[@rilufuzz]

I love these custom mods! Keep 'em coming ^^

[@mndlessdrwer]

I knew this kind of thing was possible due to all the modding I've seen done on the highest-end consumer graphics cards, but it really is gratifying to finally see someone do it properly on a SFF workstation card without just hoping that the PCIe power delivery can cope. Very cool and the build, particularly the low-profile 3-fan version, is just so ridiculously clean.

[@bobbyboygaming2157]

Cool stuff. Most shunt mod video's I have seen are done on obsolete hardware. Great to see it worked out.

[@kayngo87]

Looks absolutely stunning. Keep up the great work.

[@AlexTheRoach827]

Love the build! Just used that same copper heatsink with noctua fans to build a custom Ati 9800 Pro. Should keep the vintage hardware cool at 50 watts. 😂

[@grantbaxter3669]

Crazy, wonderful stuff once again Sir!

[@TalkAroundTech]

Always excited to see what you guys cook up!! Another masterpiece!

[@WiltshireTutorials]

Beautiful. That is the only word I have for this mod. Well done! I would absolutely buy a kit, if you were to put one together! Excellent nod to the legendary Kingpin lineup of GPUs too. Love it.

You should make a Company that make customs modified video cards. Most consumers will be happy. Just my opinion. Keep up the excellent work. 👍

Dude this is badass. You turned that ada 4000 into the best sff card. Great job!

[@Kekeripo]

I remember seeing some guys on bilibili build extended heatsinks for the original cooler of the A2000. Just an extended design of the existing heatsink and a bit denser + copper. I wonder if that could cool the A4000 140W, without changing it's tinyness.

[@nfcerick3634]

It is very possible. A few companies out there do that and it appears to work well. I just didn't like the Volvo look of the original shroud.

SO MUCH YES! Of course this one off is crazy expensive and hand built but GPU manufacturers take notice! The market is there for a midrange GPU that is also small and efficient and we are stuck with the 4060 LP which has too many performance compromises for me personally.

[@nfcerick3634]

Exactly! "They" can do it, they just don't. I hope one day SFF is as popular and affordable as ATX.

Thanks for putting this video together. More folks are wandering into the mad-house that is the SFF community and find themselves right at home. I know I cannot leave now that I am here. would love enough critical mass in the community to attract more attention from the major brands. Thanks to Josh at NFC for a great community, and for companies that put their dollars on the line to support the SFF community. I have the 4060 LP from gigabyte shown in this video and it powers my home office PC. I myself and many others I speak to would gladly pay more for a 4070 or 4070 super (or 4080 ) that would fit into a ~5.0L sandwich case or console case. The potential for great growth is there should a company reach out to the SFF community and get them involved in product design or feedback. 4070 super under 215mm in length and under 2 slots would do very well.

[@nfcerick3634]

I agree. Josh is a legend in my book. We both greatly appreciate your support.
