What is Reddit's opinion of Phobya PWM Fan Adapter for Graphics Cards?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Good luck! I'm not sure what your GPU requires/can fit regarding deshroud and fan replacement, but I've used this adapter on all my replacements (1060, 2070 & 3070) , to fit 2x Noctua A9x14 PWMs.

You gotta bite the bullet and just do it. Removing the plastic heatsink shroud would be part of regular teardown. Locate the places where the plastic is secured and un-secure it. The fan is secured via a few screws into the face of the shroud and connected via a 3 pin header.

Looking at the other responder, their linked mod is literally heatsink kits attached to any exposed chip, and a large block secured with twine. You may need a GPU fan header adapter since GPU fan headers are smaller than case fan headers.

I had to remove the backplate to disconnect the RGB - cable. The Fancables were easy to remove. I found a cheap and good adapter for pwm to vga.

Absolutely. I have a S340 Elite with Kraken x62 as intake on my CPU and a Kraken G12 + Corsair H55 as exhaust and it works great.

Highly recommend it actually, dramatically lowered the temps in my case. Note that if you have a GPU with a back/mid plate, and it has the “notches,” don’t bother with the copper shim technique. In my experience it doesn’t work unless you get a custom shim, as none of the correct sizes are on Amazon. Just remove the back/mid plate and slap on the G12. Then lay the backplate on top if you want so you don’t have to look at a bare PCB.

Lastly, you may want to look into getting the GPU fan adapter. There’s one from Gelid but it takes a week to ship, I grabbed this one and it works fine.

I couldn’t get a PWM fan to work though sadly, it wouldn’t adjust the fan curves properly... ended up just using the NZXT fan at full speed all the time (it’s a 3 pin), you can barely hear it with the case closed.

Video probably not necessary as that would be extra work for you.
This is the adapter for PWM fan control from your GPU header. Splitter to go from that to pump+fan.

The stock fan is pwm. You can buy a pwm gpu fan adapter off amazon. Then disassemble the entire gpu to connect it to the PCB. It's easier to just leave the existing fan cable, since it runs inside the hose sleeve to the radiator/fan.

Or... the easiest option is to just snip the wire off the stock fan (at the radiator) and wire a regular 4 pin pwm male plug. This way you can have a plug at the radiator and easily swap fans in the future.

Best fan to upgrade to would probably be a Noctua NF-P12 redux-1700 PWM. It features 120.2 m³/h airflow, 2.83 mm H₂O static pressure, and when maxed out at 1700 rpm it only produces 25.1 dB(A). Damn thing has about the best performance you can find in a 120mm radiator fan, without going with a noisy 2000 - 3000 rpm industrial fan.

Two adapters plus 1 y-splitter. https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B01EUZD854/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Fan Adapter

Fans

do you think these would work?

Technically the Fan adapter seems like it should work. as i would plan to use the PST fans (which can share a PWM Signal) i guess an adapter with a single 4pin would do the job because of that.

(dont need this i guess)

I bought a PWM to VGA adapter. Go it on Amazon.

cable

did you tried already?

since the zotac 3080 /3090 trinity will fit if deshrouded.

cant you connect the fans directly to the gpu connector for the removed fans?
you will ne just need an adapter micro-4pin pwm like this one:

It got two of those smaller 4 pins. I bought two of these to be able to connect the Noctua fans.
