A small form factor PC enthusiast has shared details about how they modified an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 Ti for absolutely silent running. Mysteriously named Redditor a0910115172 shared plenty of images of the fanless modded Asus TUF RTX 4060 Ti and some benchmarking insights (h/t FanlessTech). In brief, even when massively downclocked to operate within a 65W power envelope, this card was superior to commercial alternatives like the KalmX series from Palit.
As our hat-tipped friends at FanlessTech would confirm, there are lots of reasons why a person might want to go fanless. In the case of Redditor a0910115172, reasons such as "reduced dust accumulation and a better experience for activities like listening to music" were put forward. However, they also enjoyed the fanless PC building challenge.
