Every GPU anti-sag support I found needed an empty case floor. Mine has fans there, so I designed one that mounts on the fans.

New PC, heavy GPU (RTX 5080), and bottom intake fans, so there’s no floor to rest a support on. I couldn’t find a single model that handled this, so I made one.

It bridges two 140 mm fans using their existing screw holes and covers only ~3 % of the fan area, so airflow isn’t affected. The tower slides onto a hex rail, and a printed Tr12×3 threaded rod with a lock nut does the fine adjustment. After a few overengineered iterations (pics included 😅), I went back to a simple, industrial design.

It comes in 2 height ranges from ~80 to ~154 mm, measured from the top of the fan frame to the underside of the GPU. The minimum safety factor is ~7, including PETG creep at 50 °C. It has swappable nameplates (RTX, NVIDIA, RADEON, or blank), prints without supports, and the profiles are ready for Bambu printers. Hardware: just 4 standard fan screws.

White base, black hex part: on a white build it looks like it’s floating. Print it in PETG, not PLA.

Currently for 140 mm fans. If enough people want a 120 mm version, let me know and I’ll make one.

Hi, I am trying to make a cusotm pc case. I don't have a budget. I am trying to get this; I already modeled it, but it is super bad right now

ok so I found out that this hot wheels launcher is the exact same length as a 1080 ti Fe and I thought about turning it into the shroud, would the awful mockup I made work? also I have like no experience modding parts

I need to get a replacement for a Nipron PC2U-530P-X2S

Looking for any alternative that will have similar pins

This is going into a Grass Valley T2 Iddr

I just saw an absolute crazy post about a custom CNC case for 4 RTX 6000 Workstation GPUs. This made we think about what a PC case for this kind of PC actually needs.

Besides more space for bigger (and more) components, lots of airflow for the GPU's, what else do you need to pay attention to?

Is there a consensus on airflow direction? I'm thinking about imitating server racks? But not every prosumer wants a server at their place right?

How are you doing it?

Fresh of mill, solid 5mm aluminum case for a 4x RTX PRO 6000 setup. I'm test-fitting it before anodizing.

This case will hold 4 Pro 6000 Blackwell cards, a WS W790E-SAGE SE mobo, 2 2000W PSUs, and 18 fans, running 24/7

After being anodized, this chassis will be in full mate black.

What's your thought on this?

I am planning to deshroud my ASRock RX 6700 XT and mount two 120mm slim (15mm thick) fans directly onto the bare heatsink using zip ties inside a Metalfish T60 mini-ITX case. Will these improve the cooling than the stock small 3000 rpm fans? I absolutely do not care about noise. I am looking for the highest RPM/highest static pressure slim fans available to force air through the heatsink.

What are the highest-performing 15mm fans out there? I've looked at the below options

ID-COOLING AM-120-SLIM (2500 RPM)

Thermalright TL-B12015 (2150 RPM)

Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance

I recently bought a couple case fans because my gpu was overheating and now my gpu bracket looks a little odd. should I just keep it as it is or consider 3d printing a support underneath?

(ignore the missing exhaust it’s coming tomorrow I promise)

I’m planning to start a small 3D-printing business and want to make products people actually need.
Is there anything in this community you struggle to find, need a replacement for, or wish existed? For example, car owners might need discontinued plastic parts, custom mounts, or interior accessories.
I’d love to hear your ideas and see what’s actually in demand!

i recently bought this GPU and its ugly as hell, did anyone mod this card to actually look good? is it possible?

Hey everyone!

I've been working on a personal Windows software project for a while now, and I'd love to get some honest feedback from fellow PC enthusiasts and modders.

It actually started because of my GPU's power connector.

I own an ASUS ROG Astral RTX 5080, and I wanted to keep a closer eye on its 12VHPWR / 12V-2x6 connector.

More specifically, I wanted to monitor the current flowing through each of the six individual power contacts and see whether there were any significant differences between them.

What started as a small monitoring tool gradually turned into a complete GPU and gaming performance dashboard.

Here's what it currently offers:

• GPU temperature, utilization, power draw, clock speeds, voltage and VRAM monitoring
• In-game FPS, 1% lows and frametime tracking using PresentMon
• GPU temperature, power and gaming performance graphs
• Session maximum values
• Adaptive layouts for ultrawide displays and standard 16:9 monitors
• Individual current monitoring for all six power contacts on supported ASUS ROG Astral GPUs
• Current imbalance monitoring, including the maximum difference recorded during a session
• Customizable settings and display options

There are currently two monitoring modes:

With pin monitoring: Designed for supported GPUs that expose individual power connector pin readings.

Without pin monitoring: For regular NVIDIA GPUs that don't provide those readings. Instead of the pin monitoring section, the dashboard displays additional GPU analytics.

This means the software isn't limited to ASUS Astral graphics cards.

The main goal is simplicity.

I wanted something that works well on a small screen inside a PC case, but can also be used on a regular secondary monitor.

Ideally, you just install it, launch it, and get a clean dashboard without spending hours configuring individual widgets or sensor panels.

The software currently focuses on NVIDIA GPUs. It's still in private testing on different systems, so I'm working on improving compatibility and stability before considering a public release.

I've already set up an automated Windows build process and created an installer.

The project doesn't have a final name yet. It was previously called "Astral Monitor" and currently uses the temporary development name monitoring_tool.

I'm considering releasing it publicly once it's ready, possibly as an affordable one-time purchase.

I'd really appreciate your honest feedback:

1. Would you actually use something like this for your PC build?
2. Do you find individual 12V-2x6 power contact monitoring useful?
3. What would make you choose this over existing tools like HWiNFO, InfoPanel or AIDA64?
4. Would you consider paying $15–20 once for a polished version, or do you think it should be free?
5. What features would you personally want in a GPU monitoring dashboard?

I'm not trying to sell anything here. I'm genuinely interested in finding out whether this would be useful to other PC enthusiasts or if I'm just building something for my own setup.

Constructive criticism is absolutely welcome!

Note: The attached images are UI previews with simulated example values, not screenshots of live measurements. They show both monitoring modes in ultrawide and 16:9 layouts.

Thanks for checking it out!

i have a rotary tool already. now i just need the right bits for the job (like this image above. credits to owner ofc)

to those who have done this, can you share your tips and how to go through it? personally i was thinking of marking the square (to allow for longer gpu's) with a marker first, then drill small holes along that line then proceed to cut it.

question now is, which drill bit to use and what material should they be? steel i guess? to those who have experince cut/dremel modding cases share your advice please! thanks!
