🔥 Modded RTX A2000 Laptop GPU: 5654 Time Spy, Single-Slot, 65W – and CHEAP

[lovessd]

What Is This Thing?

Basically, I found a batch of RTX A2000 Laptop edition chips, normally soldered into mobile workstations. With a little effort, I turned it into a desktop GPU – low-profile, whisper-quiet, and surprisingly strong.

• 3DMark Time Spy score: 5654

• Power draw: 65W

• Cooling: single-slot blower mod

• Price: Less than HALF of the official desktop A2000

Custom Cooling Setup

• Five Heat Pipes

• Nickel-Plated Copper Fins

• Temperature-Controlled Turbine Fan

Idle temps ~38°C, load ~68°C. Surprisingly silent even under load.

Build Quality & PCB Details

• 10-layer PCB

• High-Frequency Samsung GDDR6

• Desktop PCIe Interface

• Compatible with NVIDIA Studio Drivers

Why It’s Awesome:

• Fits inside ANY low-profile SFF / ITX build

• Stays cool even in 5L chassis

• Great for rendering, lightweight gaming, AI inferencing

• Costs way less than a desktop 3050/3060 with similar or better perf-per-watt

Thoughts?

• Would you trust a modded mobile GPU in a production build?

• Anyone else done similar “mobile-to-desktop” conversions?

• What’s the weirdest GPU you've used in a build?
