I cannot fit all three of my GPUs with the middle GPU shroud on how should I cool it without it having fans.

    Woth that setup, you seem pretty Hellbent on making the really hot

  2. Helpful-Work-3090

    Send them to me, I’ll put water blocks on them. Lead time is unknown

  3. Assuming this is for a workstation of some sort. I guess rendering or a similar task. You will probably have to water cool them

  4. Daoist_Serene_Night

    water cooling or u could get the PCIE extension cables and mount at least the middle one somewhere else

  5. someRolen

    Realistic answer: water cooling

    Fun answers: leaf blower, 3d printed cone, plenty of duct tape, and noise canceling headphones

    You should probably have sought to buy blower style cards instead of these. But you posted a photo below of the idea of attaching fans to the front side, it’ll work only if you get static pressure optimized fans.

    Oh don’t worry I’ll cool them for you just send them all to me and I’ll send them back as soon as I am able to let go of them

    Riser cable, mount them vertically in front of the 2 gpus.

    Little advanced but you could try and model a manifold around the heatsinks and manifold the exhaust in fusion 360 and print it

    Watercool them…. Just an option (not a good one but it’s there)

    I’d use risers to space them out and then put them in a rack mount case, you mention elsewhere you have a closet with exhaust. I’d just throw a 6-12u rack in there and use the included air cooling.

    Have you thought about renovating your gaming room into a freezer?

    If you don’t yet have any experience with custom water cooling, that setup is telling you it’s time.

    You can put a fan infront of them. Get a case with good airflow. If you have a 3d printer you can print a shroud for a fan that pushes the air in between them. If that doesn’t work, then water cooling is your only solution

    Liquid nitrogen, just keep it submerged

  16. Unable-Investment-72

    Didn’t know you could SLI 3 RTX cards together, unless I’m a dumbass and it’s being used for something else.

  17. Endle55torture

    Liquid cooling is best for this style application

  18. Ok_AnxietyMaster

    I just thought, would you be able to mount one of them vertically? Just as an out of the box thought.

  19. TheVillainInThisGame

    Either several radial fans or liquid cooling blocks.

  20. Hot_Paint3851

    if money isnt thing you ccan get away with some pretty good liquid cooling and if you are ion budget you can build used one for like 250 bucks

  21. Local-moss-eater

    You can dunk the whole thing into a bucket of mineral oil

  22. InterestingSkyPurple

    I think that here you need to take out the video card chip and place them in special cases that will provide them with cooling

  23. MehImages

    well not like that, that’s for sure. either you need risers or water cooling

  24. bassequaliser

    You normally figure all this out BEFORE you purchase your parts. I think the 3 GPU’s is for your ego as it won’t increase performance much.

  25. patrdesch

    If you need to ask, you’re probably not qualified to work on that sort of hardware.

  26. Smellfish360

    As many have menioned, water cooling is the way to go.
    The RTX 30 series and above have a blow through design. Meaning that the right most card will be enjoying the heat of both the other cards, whilst bareling being able to use it’s cooling because it’s squished up against a (also hot) backplate. Without the middle card it’s be fine with enough airflow. But you’re going to use all three cards.

    Shower it daily with shampoo and conditioner 2 in 1 don’t forget to blow dry it when you’re done showering

    The obvious answer is to remove the fans (and any unnecessary plastic on the GPUs) and submerge the entirety in mineral oil – obviously with the appropriate housing (your power supply should be outside of the housing). You will also need the correct constant flow pump to maintain a target thermal exchange between the housing and and the external radiative tank – which you will also need.

    Just make sure that the capacity (useable internal volume) of the housing can contain the necessary volume of oil for proper thermal dissipation for the GPUs and CPUs based on your needs, and that the housing is leakproof, and your external radiative tank can cool it quickly enough. With the right pump, it will be almost dead quiet.
