I used 3x arctic pwm p8 fans at max rpm that are still virtually silent and shift a huge amount of air on my 6900xt, much better cooling and inexpensive. They are smaller than stock size but really do work well. I now have them on a 7800xt to the same effect.
Beautiful, and again, I would love to the bracket that you've made. I have the exact same card, and I've done a ghetto mod (92mm fans x 2 and 120mm fan x 1 in the middle) the fans I'm using are Arctic Cooling, it works but it looks sooo bad. Thx for sharing your project with us.

Had a similar noise problem with my 3080, but I actually gutted the noctua fans to fit them by the back of the hub to the standard mounts on the original shroud. Looks completely standard. But it's almost silent in comparison, even at full 2500rpm. And to top it off, 4⁰C reduction in temperature on full load. Idles at room temperature too. Good times
Fan of you here, br0berger. You are doing great job :) I am really interested in project on this 6900xt card by using bigger fans (3x12). As their surface is bigger then card cooler, is it possible to "tunnel" air perfectly to the cooling area? As I am owner of this card, I observe the backplate being hot after some time. Is it possible to make a shroud in a such way that part of the air is redirected to blow over the edge to backplate a bit? Really interested in such test, did not saw it anywhere else on Internet. having great confidence in German engineering skills ;)
Remember, AMD is #TeamRed, so, i guess, Red and Black is a better colour. However, i would not use some fans that are keeping my GPU hotter, just because they are more silent. I think that the idea is good, just need to find the propper fans. Maybe a design to take bigger fans(120mm?), to keep the card COOLER! Thank you for the video! PS: I ordered also a - 20GB XFX Radeon RX 7900 XT Speedster MERC 310 - for 590€ from ebay, a few weeks old. It should arrive in 1-2 days. I hope that i made a good choice. I also live in Germany.
I now see that I missed a part even if the fans aren't wired to the motherboard to garuntee they get proper power your lower temps are actually mainly do to there being a large space in between your fans and the fins on the cooler
My old 6900xt would get really hot and loud, no matter what I did to it. I repasted it and the thermal pads, and that thing was still screaming. Great card, but I sold my whole machine to build a new more efficient one.
You picked really bad fans for this. You picked airflow optimized fans, when you want pressure optimized fans. I tried a deshroud mod, and usually you get WAAAY better temps. If noctua, you want the NF-A9x14, but on a budget, the Thermalright P9W is very good for that, as it provides high pressure to push the air through the fins
Noctua doesn't sell airflow or pressure optimized variants of the 92mm fans. They're all "all-rounders". The standard A9s he's using are just straight up better than the slim x14 ones with both better pressure and airflow at a lower max speed.
@@Eonymia The huge gaps in the blades allow too much Backflow, and the results speak for themselves... And its 1.62mmH₂O @ 64.6m³/h vs 1.64mmH₂O @ 50.5m³/h. So even according to Noctua, the x14s are better. You have to remember that the fan is against the radiator, so you want the best pressure to airamount ratio, since the air amount is gonna be very limited
@@jlmpc8733 You're looking at the 3-pin FLX model that spins even slower, the standard A9 PWM he's got are 2,28mmH₂O @ 78,9 m³/h, which is quite a bit better. There is no pressure optimized variant. May have a point about the backflow. Unless something else also went wrong with the install, but that would just be speculation.
Yeah, it's cool, but I do not see any reason for doing that. The root of your problem is the cooling system itself, not the fans. I think you should try changing the stock thermal paste to ptm7590. This material doesn't have solvent in its compound, thus its not decomposed under pressure and temperatures. BTW 6x00 series is known for its sudden dyeing so leaving it in 98° on hot spot not a good move imho
i did this year a test on serveral 4070 and 4080, the fans the use are literally shit, all of them. amd is a lot better at this point, but still room for improvement. wonder why they dont mount good fans on 1000$ GPU´s in the first place.
"Why easy if you can do it complicated" - Me when I'm trying to deal with German bureaucracy

was waiting for this video with tab on your channel opened, thank you

Yh they are smaller but built for better static pressure which is what is required for a gpu heatsink fan.
That is exact reason why i use them :D

Welcome to the custom cooling channel, let me show you its features (*insert evil german laughter*)
You sound just like him!
If you know, you know.
Hahahaha, thank you 🤣
YES HAHA BEST COMMENT
no he doesnt..
are you selling the model for the clip at 2:18 ??? I would love to print a billion of those!

If got the XFX RX6900XT Black Limited edition and if you limit the fan speed to 60%, it is still relatively cool (for a 6900XT) and is nearly silent.
I did it on my asrock 6950xt and its a game changer🤘

I feel like the card probably can't push those fans to the max rpm do you have them wired into the card or the motherboard?

wie wäre es mit 2x 120er oder 140er lüfter wie bei der 4080 Noctua edition ... schönes Projekt ✌
Would love to pay for files for this new enclosure to silence my card
How did you do this? 3d print?
Thanks for you Interest, yes i 3d printed it, you can see the development process & print here.

Woukd it fit a xfx 7900xtx?
Instead of the NOCTUA NF-A9, you could use a fan with more static pressure.
My old 6900xt would get really hot and loud, no matter what I did to it. I repasted it and the thermal pads, and that thing was still screaming. Great card, but I sold my whole machine to build a new more efficient one.
Good work. I would make same version for my 6800XT
XFX 6900XT Noctua Edition + 50% to price :D
the first thing you shouldve done was switch from paste to PTM7950
😂😂😂 the intro cut ins!!!
@@jaimevelazquez5844 hopefully you watched till the end 😅
what the rpm of the fan haha
