Hey all,

Just curious if anyone knows of any third party GPU heatsinks that can conform to dual slot restrictions?

Dual slot GPU's with decent coolers are getting harder and harder to find so was interested if there were any options I have not found.

Alternatively are there any mods to say the Arctic Accelero Xtreme III that allow it to be thinner?

Thanks,

Tazpr

My memory is not too good but I just simply cannot think of a decent dual-slot cooler.
Dual slot means about 40mm total thickness.
Let's say the card's PCB + socket thickness..etc is 10mm. This only leaves about 30mm for the thickness of the heatsink plus fan. Even using a slim 12mm fan would only leave you just 18mm thickness of the heatsink itself.

Just did a quick check. Scythe Setsugen is 33.5mm thick while the Musashi is 35mm. These are old old coolers.

I think, AIOs now basically wipe away any dual-slot air cooler.
