Hello everyone, I was thinking of doing a bios mod to my M2000 (53mm 'side to side' spacing), but it is clearly thermally limited first and foremost (even after re-paste and mount). Max allowed clock seems to be 1227 mhz, but after hitting 80c, clocks move (and stay) to 1050-1150 based on workload, making bios modding past its current limits basically moot. So I've looked for coolers and they all basically fall into these categories:
A) Proper spacing, decent cost (since I don't think it makes sense to spend a large portion of the card cost just on the cooler), may not actually be any better than the stock heatsink [lots of 'custom' after market heatsinks like this sort of thing: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/326...&terminal_id=7f1f8e6da5c34b61bc9184a3e709347b].
B) Fit, ok-ish price, may be way too big for the card (for example having one end extend out past the video outputs) / have clearance issues [basically real gpu heatsinks with the same mount spacing like this: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000961683626.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.48d7375azcd0JY&algo_pvid=2365b716-919f-4f1c-9624-8cb9dee44338&algo_exp_id=2365b716-919f-4f1c-9624-8cb9dee44338-21&pdp_ext_f={"sku_id":"10000012726755159"}&pdp_pi=-1;35.0;-1;-1@salePrice;USD;search-mainSearch]
At his point I think I've looked at so many coolers and price points my brain is melting...This is my front runner so far [https://www.ebay.com/itm/EverCool-F...eForce-ATI-Radeon-VC-RHE-/113148499005?_ul=IN], and I was wondering if anyone else had any suggestions / tips on picking aftermarket coolers in general (or for Quadros specifically).
[I know Arctic used to make some coolers that would basically be perfect for this, but it seems they were all discontinued a year or two ago and are almost nowhere to be found expect on ebay for crazy prices...]
Any ideas appreciated, thank you for reading.
