Log HGC OSMI Passive MoDT Build feat. RTX 4070 KalmX Frankenstein

[REVOCCASES]

Long time no new build, but recently I got an OSMI case from a friend, so it's time for a new project...

It took me a while to decide, what I should build in this case and then I thought, I'd try another passive cooled PC

Starting with the GPU, I modded an RTX 4070 Frankenstein with an GTX 750 KalmX cooler. I think, Low Profile GPUs are perfect to turn into passive cooled GPUs due to the less restrictive airflow...



Backing the KalmX cooler together with my custom copper coldplate...



Voila: world's first RTX 4070 KalmX Frankenstein






Specs for the rest of the Build:

• ERYING MoDT ITX with i5-13500H CPU
• 32 GB DDR5
• 2TB / 1TB NVME SSDs with Thermalright HR-09 Cooler
• G-Unique 200W wide voltage ATX Plugin PSU
• MORNSUN LOF225 19V AC/DC PSU
• ARCTIC 140mm slim fan
• Thermalright Macho CPU Cooler (modded to make it fit)
• Some custom 3D printed parts (black PCTG)

And here is how it looks like:

Overall, I'm pretty happy how it turned out and how well the cooling works.

Beautiful compact build! How did you manage to bend the heat pipes without actually killing the cooler?

Gosh that's so cool. I built a few PCs back around 2009 or so with passive GPUs

Thanks The copper is quite soft and I didn't bend it toooo much so it worked out without damaging the heat pipes.
