Question: Deshrouding - How Much Length Does It Save?
Question: Deshrouding - How Much Length Does It Save?
On average, deshrouding a GPU typically reduces its size by several centimeters.
I was thinking about how much you could shave off if you purchase another 9070 and disassemble it. That depends on the make and model of your case. You might need to check another case to fit your GPU segment into your build, especially since modifying a GPU out of the box can void your warranty.
The plan is to implement an effective cooling strategy for the GPU, ensuring optimal performance and longevity.
The GPU's heat sink covers most of the shroud. If you have a case, you might consider using a dremel to clean it. Either way, you'll be restricting the GPU's performance. It might be better to opt for a smaller, less powerful card instead.
Absolutely, the plastic cover seems to fit snugly around the sink.
The shroud includes the heatsink and fans. The heatsink is almost as long as the shroud. I had to modify my HDD cage in the old Thermalright Armor Revo to fit my 4090. Fortunately, HDD cages are no longer that important.
