Cooling a CPU with a GPU cooler

Just thought, could you take a cooler from a GPU and attach it to your CPU? This would probably be very unstable and impractical. Maybe something for a video?

you could as a heatsink is a heatsink, but mounting it would be the hard part

I have seen a video of a person who mounted a cpu heatseak on a gpu. Idk why you'd want to put a gpu heatink and put it on a a cpu though.

The cooling performance would suck. Just think about how much bigger CPU air coolers are than GPU air coolers.

 

Mounting a CPU cooler to your GPU though would give you amazing performance.
