>he doesn't ziptie 120mm fans to his GPUWhat's your excuse anons?
you're like a baby, my motherboard is laying flat on my desk, GPU standing up and held together with the unscrewed radiator using a rubber band, and one of the fans prevented from spinning using a toothpick
>>107579143I did that for 3 GPUs already. It works so well that I even wonder why companies bother to include coolers at all.
did this after the built in cooler fans shit the bed, works alright. i did the middle zipties around the gpu as well, makes installation a bit harder but still fits in
>>107579143Im not poor, my GPU came with 3 fans of its own
>>107579143Deshrouding has been a thing for ages though.
>>107579205Yeah, it's usually better than stock was, both in cooling performance and noise.
>>107579143????
>>107579347shut UP
>>107579143Shouldnt this be functionally worse than just not doing that?
>>107579143I have an RTX 3090 with the ram on both sides of the card so I had to set two 120mm fans on top of the card to bring those ridiculous thermals down. And my RTX 3090 is still serving me well to this day.
>>107579143Why would I? My GPU already has a good cooler out of the box. 450W dissipation and the GPU doesn't even hit 65C, it's not loud either.

>>107579347>>107579615this cooler mod is so good you have to downclock the gpu by 50%, kek
>>107579143>excusei'm not fucking twelve to make excuses, but you do you.
>>107579143Takes too many PCI slots>inb4 why do you need them
>>107579143ive never deshrouded a gpuare there standard pins on its board for fans?
>>107580518If you mean standard like literally the same as on a mobo, no, usually not. Often they do have 4-wire fans but the connector they use is smaller and as such incompatible with regular case fans. You could almost certainly use them with an adapter, but I don't know whether the smaller connector usually found on graphics cards is a standard pinout or not. It would probably need some looking into.
