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
