Well I mean something who are mounting on the back of the Case who is guide the exhaust of the Fan from the Graphic Card truth some kind of Sound Suppressor, Silencer to reduce the noise without void any Warranty.

I think a more effective way to control sound is by slowing down the fans with a custom fan curve. Why 3d print something when a software solution already exists...

Well how should that work without a performance loss and with the same Temp?

It doesn't. Neither would a silencer. Any time you reduce noise, something else will be affected, either temp or performance. It doesn't matter if it's done in software or hardware. 

 

With a silencer, you would be achieving lower noise by impeding the fan, this will lead to reduced performance or increased Temps.
