PC modder straps 5.5-pound heatsink to RTX 4060 for passive cooling
A PC enthusiast created a passively cooled RTX 4060 by attaching a 5.5-pound aluminum heatsink. The mod relies solely on convection, with no fans, and reportedly works in a testbench setup. The heatsink is massive, weighing over twice as much as the GPU itself.
