I have designed, from the ground up, a replacement fan shroud for all "3 fan style" strix cards from the GTX 10 series, 16 series, RTX 20 series, and even some AMD cards like the 5700 XT, Rx 480, Rx 580, 590.
This shroud came from the request of a customer through our online Etsy store (see link below).

I don't understand why this isn't a standard practice in GPU designs. It'd be so easy to replace fans with practically any 120MM fans.
Because cheap materials equals more profit
true, and slim fans that comes with gpus are the first to fail
The 3080 and 3070 asus noctua does use 120MM fans so you can swap cans. Saw a guy swap noctuas black fans from the brown and to also RGB fans.
@@Noodlepunk a guy lol aka a youtuber who is quite well known
@@Noodlepunkyoure talking about derbauer, aren't you? I think he swapped the noctuas with Corsair rgbs
Got one of these a few weeks ago for my failing 2080 Super. Absolutely revived the card and its pumping better than ever before! Thanks :)
direct die thermal paste is not applied in any pattern but with full spread. You risk the GPU if you apply some of the standard IHS patterns, like the X you used here. A small portion of the silicon might not be covered when you press the cooler, and that portion might not be covered by a sensor. That means you might be running part of the silicon at 120+C while the GPU thinks its hotspot well below 100C and doesn't throttle, since you created a new unknown hotspot. This is not a problem for application on an IHS since the IHS itself covers the whole die and the silicon will not be in danger. Just use a spatula and spread the whole die, it is not hard to do, less risky, just a bit messy.
Thank you saved me a lot of time trying to browse videos for an actual working one
IT WORKED, THANKS I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS FOREVER, BUT NO TUTORIAL COULD EXPLAIN IT AS YOU DID
really well done shrouds , nice testing
It worked perfectly!!! Thank you so much
Great video man and really good design.
Thank you for replacing the thermal interface BEFORE your baseline testing, this is the best GPU deshrouding comparison video I've seen so far
love the build
nice job. that cooling is overkill by itself on that gpu. interesting to see same tests on rtx 3080 or higher
it worked! thank you so much!!
You’re welcome !
This is such an underrated channel with plenty of informative content. What a brilliant design.
Years ago I strapped two Noctuas, a 92mm and a 120mm. with zip ties to a Sapphire R9 Fury, which is a pretty hot running card. Result was temps dropped a bit under full load and inside the case the fans were basically inaudible. I also put two Noctua 120mm on a Morpheus II heatsink to cool a reference design Sapphire Vega64. That worked even better.
Stock cooling on GPUs is just different shades of terrible. Compared to what is easily possible they all suck. ... or blow. ... you know what I mean.
This is great, thank you!
Wait what I never watched this video an never commented this wtf I need to change my password lol
I'd love to see something like this but with noctuas, RGB lighting and a nice customized 3d printed shell
Awesome Job man! This idea should be main-stream by now! really comparable to the super expensive ASUS noctua callab. Would be cool to see the shroud with a slight lip overlapping part of the heatsink. how soon till someone buys this just to put rgb fans on?? j/k great mod!
Enjoyed the video. Keep making more!
so underrated!!
What a fantastic solution!
My 3080ti is 1 year old and the fans are making a scratschy kind of noise. I'm about to ziptie 2 120mm pwm fans on there. This is way more elegant though.
very cool
That is so cool, should consider making one for the ampere asus cards so ppl can just make their own noctua 3080s.
The industrial PPC 3000 RPM fans are perfect if the card doesn't need to run them much to cool down fast.
Almost running in the video to instantly drop the temperature. That is power saving + high performance.
Guys it really works, I checked
Such a cool video, I want to try this with the new Gigabyte Windforce OC 4070 Super. Putting the Noctua slims on for an ITX build sounds great.
Your fans will cool!
Really good content and editing, nice work! Hope you pick up some traction.
Thank you for the kind words. I still have much to learn!
That's very interesting.
Seems like the limiting factor is now the heatsink itself.
I think Noctua X Asus cards have a purpose made rad for this.
Still, I like it, and that is something worth considering.
Awesome job. I've bought the Noctua 3070, but I like your mod even better. It's more clean.
I need one of these brackets!!

Its always awesome to cool GPU with 12cm/14cm fans, been doing this for a long time, larger fans with lower RPM means less noise and better performance. Also the easier way to do this is to take off the plastic case of the card and attach 2 or 3 fans on a PCI cooler panel(very cheap) next to the GPU, there would be a slightly longer distance between the fans and the heat sink but no such a big deal cause it performs almost the same. In addition, an PWM adapter cable is required to transfer the fan to the smaller 4pin slot on the card.
Honestly, i dont repaste anymore. I slap on a kyrosheet. No more maintenance :)
And i also turned off the 0dB functionality on mine. Because that fan ramping up the whole time will cause unncessary wear.
I dont have a 3D printer, so i was glad what i made worked the first time. I used NF-S12's though, those are more suited for heatsinks.
i got a that card and one of my fan bearing died so i'll probably go for something like you did, it's pretty cool, may i'll check if i can snuck in a lcd to see my system thermals on the side . Thx for the video
Just what I'm looking for, awesome work. If you'd ever consider putting the STL file up for sale I'd buy it instantly.
good content.
OK, I got my package from you guys, now. Honestly took a bit too long to ship to Sweden, but it all turned out fine in the end.
It installed well, and runs perfectly with a pair of EK Vardar fans. (Was planning to get powerful Noctua fans, but I might be selling this card to my daughter, instead.)
(RTX 2080 Ti Strix)
Anyway, thanks for the good work, it was a nice solution when the old fans start failing.
Thank you for the response to receiving your order!
We are glad it did make it to you eventually. Shipping internationally (outside of US and Canada) comes with its challenges for sure, and we have debated not offering international shipping because it’s expensive and takes a long time, and comes with the risks of the package getting lost the longer it is in the mail. Ultimately, we leave it up to the purchaser to decide if they should purchase and item based off the information available to them.
As time goes on, we would like to explore better options for international shipping as well as a better selling platform that offers lower fees to us so we can pass those savings along to the customer.
For now, we are a very niche, very small operation, and we are very glad to hear your fan shroud made it to you safely and is working as you’d expected!
@@ultraprecisiontechnologies Yes, I'm aware that you're a small and niché company, so I don't blame you at all.
But it might be s good thing to know in case a customer is in a hurry, for some reason.
Also, we have to point out that it was during the holidays, which might possible have affected it.
What were the temp results for you
@@Ziomal645 I don't remember for sure, but I don't think tehre was much of a difference.
The point is that one of the 3 original fans had broken, so I needed some kind of replacement.
I don't think the temperatures got any better, but the temperatures of the original were really good already.
@@antiHUMANDesigns For me it's getting worse each year, but i've cleaned the card and repasted it so not sure. I got to the point where it gets to 77c in demanding games and it will automatically turn up fans to max. I used this card a lot since release in 2018, that's 6 years. When i replaced case fans, it helped overall case temp. I've ordered this shroud for fans, hopefully will help a bit.
a test with the new be quiet silent wing 4 pro would be cool i want to strap 3 of them to the 4080
this is why I put a Raijintek vga cooler on my 1080ti
30 series fan shrouds for the asus dual would be interesting. I've been hearing my bearings hum at a certain rpm speed and i've seen a couple other videos with people having similar problems.
Yeah eh? I actually don’t own any duals, but if you wanted to ship me one to make a 3d model, there would be a free shroud in it for you lol
I’m currently working on a shroud for MSI Ventus 3x cards
@@ultraprecisiontechnologies Stuck just dealing with it for now since I dont have a spare for an RMA and not sure who long asus would take for turn around. Excited for an update on your current project too! Let us know how it goes.
msi 3080 3080 ti 3090 suprim x are needed all use same heatsink. Subscribed and waiting for update.
While kingpin is amazing thermally, it doesn't last as long as some others and its a pita to clean it off. Not bad for an enthusiast who applies new paste every other year but not fun.
I also like ippc noctua fans a lot.
This is why I have a accelero xtream 3 heatsink on a founders 1070 with 2 noctua fans
Barely any noise and better cooling by 15-20 degrees.
Any other aftermarket shroud cannot ahieve this low noise and temo combo.
Sure it doesn't look pretty but I don't care about hoe it looks in a closed case under the desk
Is the 'Normal PETG color' the white one?
could be more efficient with 92mm fans, or with 25mm fans but with an offset shroud with funnel shape that makes the air actually hitting the radiator's fins properly. Here a lot of the air moved by the blades' tip is missing the radiator because the fans are much wider
Thanks for the comment! At some point though, adding the offset and the funnel, you’d have to ask yourself, how many pci slots do you want the cooler to take up? 4? 5? :)
@@ultraprecisiontechnologies ahah true, you really need to have some empty space at the bottom of your build to fit these Frankenstein cards, and preferably a bottom air intake otherwise it's not worth the effort and ugliness
for every day use you must not setup more than 80% fan speed all factorys have a standar use about 80% of the maximum performance of gpu , if you can keep it cool the gpu at 80% fan spped then the moding works
I just installed the Carbon 25mm version on a Strix 2080 Super; I used a pair of Silent Wings 4 fans.
At full fan speed it is still much quieter than the stock fans, additionally, the GPU temp is lower by about 5 degrees C.
I haven't yet applied new thermal paste, that will happen soon.
Unfortunately, the bottom center mounting tab broke off when I was installing the screw.
It will be ok anyhow since my GPU sag bracket supports that position.
Hey! Glad to hear it made it to you. That bottom centre support tab is incredibly thin to maintain compatibility with the stock screws. You should be totally fine without it either way. I’ve often thought about removing it from the design all together because it’s so prone to breaking!
@@ultraprecisiontechnologies
I replaced the thermal paste & thermal pad yesterday.
The original pad looked and felt great, but I replaced it with a GELID GP-Ultimate anyhow.
The paste looked very suspicious; I replaced it with GELID GC-Extreme.
The GPU temps dropped by about an additional 13 degrees C. to 60-62 degrees max.
Now the fans top out at 60% speed and are virtually silent.
how bout 92mm noctua fans for evga rtx 3060 xc black if you have one ill buy it..
would this work for a zotac trinity 3090 or would it be possible for you to make one and me buy it off of you? also great mod btw looks sick
No, unfortunately it wouldn't work for any other model of card than what's gone over in the video. Unfortunately, I don't have plans to make any more of these mods for any other cards at the moment.
I just bought a second hand strix 2080ti like this, and the center fan bearing is bad so the fan is very wobbly(i got the card pretty freaking cheap because of that, and it was dirty asf). I'm considering of designing my own shroud and add two arctic p12 and new thermal paste. What scares me a bit is, do i need to replace the thermal pad under the heatsink, or is it reusable? Also this card is brilliant with thise external fan headers. No need for ugly plug adapters that take up space in my itx case.
Sometimes the thermal pads are reusable, sometimes not. On this card I was able to reuse the thermal pad, but yours may differ.
I wish I could do this with my GPU. But it has a standard connection only for GPU fans. You can't use a 3 pin or 4 pin. Is there a solution for this too?
Yeah! There are adapters you can get like this one! Just make sure your GPU fan connection header looks the same before ordering. amzn.to/3OasiXt.
Hi again,I wanted to know,I have a pc service center in my town that can do the replacement with the custom shroud but he told me to ask if the gpu will recognize the new fans ? Like normally,it does it auto,and makes the fans go faster etc in terms of power draw when gaming etc,will it do the same with this custom one ,like there won't be any issues with the card's sensors ? Wanted to know before ordering it,so I can be sure.
The gpu again is a Asus 2080 TI Advanced,I'm guessing the normal size custom shroud is the best one for it ?
Thank you.
Normal thickness will give you best performance yes. The strix cards have 4 pin pwm fan headers on the pcb that you can plug the replacement fans into. By default, I do believe it controls the fans by temperature. In the event it doesn’t, you will need to download Asus gpu tweak which you can download from the 2080ti strix product page in the support/download section.
@@ultraprecisiontechnologies Oh ok,thanks for the info and quick answer.
Do you sell a fan shroud for the MSI Armor RX 580?
No, sorry!
Damn i want this too my RTX 3080 :O
Sounds like I’m going to be making a shroud for the new generation strix cards next !
@@ultraprecisiontechnologies Are you planning on that ? I am really interested in the one for RTX 3080! Was looking at the ASUSxNoctua 3080 but no where to be able to buy it yet.
@@FGryphusone it’s the most likely should I’ll do next. It sucks that it looks like the 4080 strix shrouds might be different from the 3080 strix shrouds. Would be nice if after all the design work it would at least fit 2 generations of cards lol
I hace a pny 3070 dual fan gpu. I’m assuming the mount will fit, right?
No, this shroud is only for the strix coolers of the generation shown in the video, sorry!
This is so cool,would the Slim version work with a Asus Strix 2080Ti Advanced ? And do you deliver to Romania ? Thank you.
Yes and yes. Check the link in the description for my store!
@@ultraprecisiontechnologies Wow,very cool.Now I just gotta find somebody who can replace it safely,one of my fans is acting up,rpm going up and down,probably a bad sensor ,and I think this is the best solution.
Hello. I have 2x Artic 120 mm standard 1500 rpm PWM fans connected to my fan header of my graphics card Msi AMD Radeon Rx 480. And exactly the way the original fans were connected, i.e. 4 pins and 3 pins. Only one of the two fans gives the RPM level signal. Both have same colors and I thnink wire colors is standard for these 4 colors. But now the automatic fan control no longer works. By default the fans run at 100% all the time even though they are silent fans and should not run without load. In Afterburner I can switch from automatic to manual and control it between 25% and 100% and manual control works! And the measurement diagram also shows me 900 - 1500 RPM. It looks like the card can carry the load of the bigger fans running them at 100%, no problem. But somehow the automatic mode fan control no longer works and I can't understand why ?
I see 2 options:
1) During the driver installation you will notice that the fans are being tested. It could possibly be that the installation detects an error because the fans do not spin up to 2000 or 3000 rpm like the original fans. And the installation then sets the automatic mode to permanent 100% fan speed.
2) You have to crack the firmware of the card and readjust the fan control of the firmware?
I guess it can only be the first though. That means there's nothing you can do except use fans with the same RPM. That no error and bad setting occurs ?
It's not a problem in itself. Since you can start Msi with Startup with 25% fan. And the fans aren't loud at 900 RPM. And before you start a game, set the fans to 100% with Afterburner. and after playing again to 25% manually. However, an automatic is better.
I wonder how delta fans would fare out compared to these standard 120s you used in the video... I don't care about noise, I'm all about cooling/performance headroom.
I have some heavy duty deltas I will be sure to include them in the future !
@@ultraprecisiontechnologies awesome, looking forward to seeing the data you come up with 🙂
Hi! Will this shroud work for zotac 3070 ti?
No. These shrouds only fit Asus strix cards that have the 3 fan coolers like shown in the video from the rx580 / rtx 20 series era. Sorry about that.
Wait those 4pin fan parts just connected straight to the 4 pin port on the GPU??
The strix cards have additional headers for standard 4pin pwm pc fans along side the special connectors used for the stock fans
Would like to see same tests on newer card
As soon as I see a GPU interesting enough to do something like this again, I will consider it. Any suggestions?
are the 3 D files also to purchase?
Message me though my Etsy store.
I have an Asus ROG Strix 5700xt. Will the shroud fit it?
Yes it will!
Bro u got shroud for gigabyte rx 6700xt gaming oc?
No, sorry!
Could it work on MSI 1660 super ?
No, it would need to be the 3 fan strix cooler shown in this video to work. Sorry.
👍
I have loved soft all my life but felt trapped and muted by the fact that I couldn't create my own. Over the last or so years I've tried
would a shroud like this fit a asus 3090 tuf oc?
No it would not. The screw mounting locations for each GPU model's shrouds specifically are different. This shroud only fits the gpu discussed in the video. Sorry!
Hi do you have any that can fit the STRIX-R9390-DC3OC-8G ?
I don’t sorry. The cooler on that card mounts in a different way than this generations strix cards.
@@ultraprecisiontechnologies ok thanks
Where can I buy these shrouds ?
Check the first link in the video description!
Is there one for a gigabyte rtx 3080
Not currently. Sorry.
Any plans for a 3080ti Tuf version?
No plans at the moment
@@ultraprecisiontechnologies shame.
i neeed sherld for zotack3060
would this fit a asus 3080 tuf?
Short answer: no. Longer answer: All model gpus have different mounting locations and mechanisms for how they secure the fan/plastic shroud to the heatsink. If you wanted a shroud for a 3080 TUF it would have to be custom made, which is entirely possible. I saw you message on my store, ill chat with you through there. Thanks for the question!
So will this work on a strix OC 3080 12gb?
No, this shroud is only for the older generation strix shrouds like what’s shown in the video. Sorry. The Mon thing locations for the shroud screws are different on 30 series and up gpus
@@ultraprecisiontechnologies if I wanted to pay you to design a mounting shroud for the 3080 12tb strix OC (assume it would work on any 30 series strix heartsink), how much would you charge? I would want to mount standard 120mm PWN fans like the noctua a12x25. As many as can fit (2 prob, maybe 3?). Ty for any feedback.
@@ultraprecisiontechnologies in regard to my inquiry about buying a custom designed 3080 strix fan replacement shroud, I would be happy to provide caliper measurements on a drawing/high res picture or something. Whatever you may need to do a proper design, as long as it’s within my power to do so.
I want to buy a shroud I live in Bangladesh can you ship it to me ?
anybody know if this would work on 980ti strix?
It’s unlikely because the cooler looks different on the 980ti compared to the 10 series strix coolers
@@ultraprecisiontechnologies ok, thanks. well if you ever find out it does, let me know.
there's a couple vids on here of people doing dissasembly of them if you ever get around to checking them out, but it does look a lot more complicated than the 10 series so i'm not getting my hopes up.
Hello, is still for sale?
Yeah. Head over to our shop at ultraprecisiontech.etsy.com if you haven't already!
Hello, would you like to sell the 3d print file?
bad fan choice, these are not the best for static pressure, these a re airflow fans, with that much gap between the blades and the resistance from the heat sink you are going to get a good bit of splash back resulting less performance and more noise than an ideal, would still be an improvement over stock fans for most coolers though. the black noctuas used are a much better choice
now test it on a 3080 pls
3080 would require a new design from scratch. Time is something that is very limited for me, and I don't currently have plans to do another GPU shroud design at this time due to other projects I want to get to. Thank you for your interest!
