Well, I uh, I too have an original desium from when I upgraded to V2.

Ah, that would be @REVOCCASES wonderful DIY 3060Ti Aero thread here = https://smallformfactor.net/forum/threads/rtx-3060ti-aero-alternative-meet-the-diy-palit-stormx-3060ti-itx-edition.17033/

Relevant.

Nope, but we got our first official A4000 shunt mod results yesterday! Checkout this overclock.net forum post where user @jkgventures (https://jkgventures.tech/) stormed the A4000 leaderboards with a 8mO shunt modded A4000 that has 3070Ti performance in a mini itx package...

Update! The 16GB 3070Ti SFF card is possible! Overclock forum, user jkgventures (https://jkgventures.tech/) just modded an A4000. They've got it up to 3070Ti performance...

Can't NOT see this each time I hear "rise from their grave"

I know I am talking to myself here, but I got a good response on overclockers forum here https://www.overclock.net/threads/a4000-shunt-mod-is-it-possible-can-we-get-3070ti-performance-in-3060ti-aero-footprint.1803615/#post-29123612 Including identifying where the resistors are.

It looks like the A5000 bracket might work for the A2000? https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256804353045462.html

Another option that crept up is possibly flashing the A4000 VBIOS with a 3070 Ti BIOS. There are a few of them here = https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/?model=RTX+3070+Ti

Found a generic shunt modding guide for all nVidia cards on overclock.net forums. Seems like a good starting point? https://www.overclock.net/threads/tutorial-power-target-limit-hardware-mod-shunt-mod-for-titan-x-and-many-other-nvidia-gpus.1608437/#post-25428806 Find the appropriate resistor...

Many of us have modded the A4000 card with the Palit StormX or PNY 3060 coolers to make our own tiny "A4000 Aero" gpus. The OC'd A4000 performs slightly better than the 3060 Ti, but draws much less power. It's power starved. Shunt modding is the process of adding a resistor to the card in...

You can't really overclock the A4000 very much. I have some experience there. Best case, when OC'd the A4000 performs about 10% better than a 3060Ti, but NOT as good as a 3070. I'm not sure if would meet your goals. You are probably better off with a 3080. Should you shunt mod an A4000...

What do I need to do to get you to post that build? Name your price.

Undervolting != underclocking. Quite the opposite. It increases clocks and performance. It also reduces power draw, decrease temps, and lowers noise. It's something you'll want to do on any AMD 5XXX chip. If your build goal is workstation performance, then you'll want as many cores as you...

Totally agreed with thoughts on "space efficiency" of air vs water. I feel water is best utilized when it's compensating for poor airflow in the CPU chamber and moving the heat to a place with better airflow. Cooling the 5800X3D is a challenge. Even folks that have it under water say it has a...
