I'm looking at this solution for a 1U Supermicro chassis. I've seen your other similar posts with the blower style fan, however that wouldn't work so well in my supermicro as all the high powered fans are at the front of the chassis. How are the thermals on this passive cooler in comparison to your blower style solution?
Also, I see your website is down -- I'm not sure I have any CNC shops around me that would be willing to work on a single item (this). Is this something you would sell?

Thermals depend on a couple of factors but with some fine tuning (UV, Fan speed, airflow duct...) you can expect similar results compared to the original 2-slot cooler.

I'm not taking custom orders at the moment but you can try to use an online manufacturing service like for example 'SendCutSend' to get the copper parts made locally.

Do you know if this Copper plate will fit on the 12gb variant of the card as well?
