Reason for Sale

Cannot get to troubleshoot it myself and don't have time to get it checked

Fans stopped spinning 1 WEEK ago abruptly when playing cyberpunk, since then using without fans (not playing games).
Games had 70c max temps and 60c at 130W after adjusting some curve settings.
Including fans with the GPU if you can troubleshoot and use them.

I have never done this, but have heard that case fans can be attached to gpu ( if you have the space)
So keep gpu heatsink, remove gpu fans and attach case fans instead.
Make sure voltage/Current is compatible. Or can plug the fans to motherboard instead too.

We also have gpu fans for sale too. Again no experience with it.

I looked into it but one thing that came up was that the airflow from case fans was too slow for cooling the GPU heatsink compared to high rpm GPU fans, is it true?

Thanks!
This looks nice!

We will have high rpm case fans too, i have seen some from 4dot. But they are also supposed to be noisy.
You will need high static pressure ones instead high overflow/exhaust fans as we need to move air through heatsink.
And with above you can combine with undervolting and lower gpu power target to reduce heat if needed.

I only posted to give a general idea. I have never needed to do this and so have never done much research.
If case fans are not good enough, then hopefully 3rd party gpu fans might be good if they can fit the gpu and case.


Just repeating - Make sure that voltage/current of new fans is compatible with gpu ( or use motherboard headers) .

I'll check this out, They are connecting on 12V molex, just like the other case fans. I think will need some way to turn them on only during games, else the temps are fine in normal usage, around 45c.

ok dunno, i use motherboard pwm headers for case fans, and those fans can be controlled.
If your motherboard has those, then worst case you can connect them to motherboard and control them through 'FanControl' or similar software using gpu temp as input.
Motherboard can also control them, but you wont get gpu temp as input without software control.

I have ordered this as the cooling solution, will arrive on 9th June, will add its review and temps in this thread only. After that, you can close the thread @puns

Add picture with your username and date for the graphic card as well. That's the shroud with broken fans that you have attached picture of.

This will be noisy as hell. Much better to just plop two 120mm fans on it with zip ties. Along with an adapter for the fan header on GPU. (just check that the header can provide enough power, which it usually can)

 

[SiniCAT]

Installed the fans. Asked them for a pwm motherboard connector instead of molex personally and they were happy to oblige at an extra cost.

Product Link :- https://www.amazon.in/dp/B0BCZNWG8Q?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title

Temps stay 64-66c after half hour of playing.
Very satisfied!

They're pretty silent until at higher RPMs. I think it might be because I paid extra for the pwm fans, over normal ones which might be noisy.
Thanks a lot for the suggestion @Tracer_Bullet, other solutions weren't as effective. Will be using this as long as possible now!

How did you contact them ? I'm surprised they responded and did the favour because their amazon rating is kinda trash.
Also why not move the fans one slot closer to GPU? Ideally the fans are as close as they can be like in stock GPUs.

Actually that's the only PCIe slot available on my motherboard other than the one used by the GPU.
I contacted them on phone, should I add the number here? or you can DM me.

You don't need PCIe slot for it, Just unscrew the plastic bit that's "supposed" to go into the PCIe lane. I don't need their number I was just asking how just in case I might need to do the same in future. How did you get their phone number?

Without that yellow part, it was actually not possible to place it on the motherboard as the whole metal part was touching the motherboard and didn't feel it was right

Do advise if the metal touching on motherboard is fine, I'll just make them closer.

A metal part of it touching the motherboard wouldn't be right lol. It's screwed in from the IO bracket tightly right? (dumb question but i still gotta ask lol). If so then I don't know why its touching the motherboard as the IO bracket should straighten it. Don't bother with it then, not worth the risk.
Also whats the status with your sale now? Are you still planning to sell it? Not asking for myself but in general because this thread has taken a different route so wanted to confirm for others.

Is it not possible to attach the fan to the heatsink ? Maybe use zipties if screws dont align. Good to see it works.
Where did you get contact no? I had read before that 4dot does take customization requests for other fan types.

They have some crazy loud fans with 4k rpm i think too.
