Enthusiast mods GTX 1080 Ti with a dual-tower CPU cooler, sees up to 32°C reduction in temps — Mod yields 30W power savings and 9% higher FPS

Bolting-on a CPU cooler on a GTX 1080 Ti .

TrashBench is back with another project that might seem deranged at first, but it actually ended up working out pretty well. Taking a grinder to the stock cooler of an Nvidia GTX 1070, he attached a fully-fledged CPU cooler with RGB fans to see if that'd cool the die better than what came from the factory. Not only did it work for the 1070, but also the 1060 and the illustrious 1080 Ti. The modification resulted in higher FPS, higher clock speeds, lower temperatures, and even lower power consumption.
