hi all, I have the 4060 Gainward Ghost card (I know i know, but I had my reasons) and I am quite happy with the performance… however the fans kinda suck noisewise and I like to tinker so…

any ideas or pointers to customizing it? do I have any options, now that its a cheaper card and nobody in their right mind would go for better cooling for it?

For reference, its this exact card: https://www.gainward.com/main/vgapro.php?id=1191&lang=en I tried searching the board here but found nothing.

    You could take the fans and shroud off and zip tie some P12 or A12 (or A9) fans onto it. Some people go as far as creating custom 3D printed shrouds for their GPUs to hold the fans I mentioned.

      oh thanks :D that sonds awesome, I already have Arctic P12s in the rest of my case, and very happy with them (at least relative to price) so thats worth a look. So basically ripping off the shroud and existing fans and ziptieing other fans onto it. Thats wild man I kinda love it.
