PC modder achieves fanless RTX 4060 with massive passive heatsink

A PC modder has successfully integrated a large, 5.5-pound aluminum heatsink onto an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 graphics card, enabling fanless operation. The custom setup, showcased by Bilibili user NexFrame, appears to maintain GPU temperatures around 58°C during gaming, though power draw readings seem unusually high for a standard RTX 4060. The mod also includes passive cooling for the CPU, utilizing a Noctua NH-P1 cooler, contributing to a quieter computing experience. AI

IMPACT Minimal direct impact on AI operations; primarily a hardware enthusiast project.

RANK_REASON This is a custom hardware modification, not a product release from a major manufacturer.
