So, not really overclocking as such, but I thought you guys might be interested due to the massive thermal headroom achieved!
I did the CPU cooler on a GPU thing just for fun, and got a ton of comments saying it’d never fit inside a case.
So… I flipped a 1060 upside down, strapped a Peerless Assassin to it, and forced it into a mid tower.
It fits. Side panel goes on and everything.
There was absolutely no reason to do this, it dropped temps by nearly 30°C, but performance didn’t really change.
That said, I reckon it might actually help with a higher power card, so I’ll try it again soon with a 2070 and see what happens.
It was near silent compared to the stock cooler.
Here’s the video if you want to see how dumb it got https://youtu.be/Msal89TS7Ms
