Wow, does the PCIe power extension really only have 3 soldered wires? I mean, obviously it doesn't need more, but just wasn't expecting it!
Keen to see how the A4000 goes with this cooler, given it's a lower TDP (140W) than the 3060 (170W) or 3060Ti (200W) it should work pretty well!
::EDIT::
Looking at the GPU itself, it's the same functional units as the 3070Ti (!!) but much lower GPU clocks
Both of the GA104 variants have [ 6144 SUs / 192 TMUs / 96 ROPs / 48 SMs / 192 Tensor Cores / 48 RT Cores ]
By dropping the clocks and using GDDR6 instead of the GDDR6X of the 3070Ti, it can reach the power target of less than half (140 vs 290 watts)
RTX 3070 Ti -- GA104-401-A1 ( 1575 - 1770 MHz ) 16GB GDDR6X @ 18Gbps -> 290 Watts TBP
RTX 4000 -- GA104-875-A1 ( 735 - 1560 MHz ) 16GB GDDR6 @ 14Gbps -> 140 Watts TBP
Hopefully you can get Afterburner / drivers that'll let you open it up a bit, given the above you should be able to get a significant boost in performance.
The 6-pin only officially gives you another 75W (+PCIe slot, so 150W total), but if you can solder up the 8-pin and/or shunt-mod the card it might give you a bunch more to play with (with added risk of course).
::EDIT2:: [USER=75]@Runamok81[/USER] -- did you use the "M-VICTORY" thermal pads that came with the cooler, or did you source your own?
I reckon the VRAM would benefit from some better performing pads, but not sure what height they are (I'm sure it's probably earlier in the thread)
