Modding a CPU cooler onto a GPU

[flyingsaunders]

Is this possible? I am interested to find someone who has done this because I what to know what they did to make it successful. I currently have a Hyper 212 evo and had the idea of whether I could mount the heatsink on the GPU. Can anyone help?

No

You can't do that, if you could it would just put a lot of strain on the GPU. You can mount a aseteck water cooler on it with a Kraken G10

Don't, that is a horrible idea.

You can get brackets.

You can get brackets.

^ for watercoolers

you could, but you would have to add some sort of supports to make sure the GPU is not bending to unacceptable levels. It would be interesting to try this with a NH-D14.

This guy put a CPU cooler on a GTX 460 and got very good temps. He is, however, running his card on a test bench with a ribbon cable so the cooler isn't putting any weight on the card itself. However, if you really wanted to do this, it shouldn't be too difficult to make and install a mount on the back or side of your case to support the weight of the cooler.

LOL it would look really hilarious

I would love to see more of those, to the drawing board. Thanks for the video, that's awesome.
