Mounting a CPU cooler on a graphics card

Summary

DIYP adapts a large CPU cooler for a graphics card and achieves unusually low temperatures with it. The original video has the ID Iegpwo9SqSg. Unconventional combinations of parts can unlock thermal headroom cheaply.

Ideas

  • CPU coolers often offer considerably more surface than stock GPU coolers.
  • A suitable bracket transfers the contact pressure evenly onto the graphics chip.
