Yeh. The issue with the de-shroud and using full height fans (like A12x25) is that the fan only partly blows over the fins like a circle peg in a square hole. The heat pipes help transfer the heat around but a certain percentage of the fins are useless. (And you have to bendthe tabs)The idea is to use the standard mounting tabs on the 3080 TUF and 3D print a shroud that covers the 100% of the fins. Then mount the A12x15 under. Hoping to slightly better performance.Later when a new series of GPU is released I can return the card to stock and upgrade.Guess I will need to pull the card apart to get the measurements.
