Right 🤣 I wonder if all of the tolerances are from calliper measurements. Looking at the lengths DeBauer goes to ensure micron-tolerance in his products I'm amazed a custom heatsink machined 'at home' is this capable.
@@dylanevans5644 I get what you are saying, and the reason is economies of scale. If you have the proper equipment and know how to use it, you can handmake things like that. And it is very impressive indeed! But having the process for hundreds of units is something completely different. When you can't just maneuver your way around problems at the rate they appear on each individual unit, that's when tolerances and process finetuning starts to matter so much more.
Modular as well as not skimping on cooling. A full copper heatsink would do WONDERS on not only heat efficiency, but space as we currently see how much is needed to cool current gen cards
@yensteel it would have been nice to see EVGA keep making cards. My old 2080 ti ftw3 ultra was really nice after I got the cage looking fan shroud accessory but it didn't hold a match to the old Kingpin.
@greebuh yep. I have the 2080 ti kp and 3090 kp and have still been looking to get a 1080 ti kp, it really was the best pcb ever on a consumer gpu. I was actually a bit disappointed with the 3090 kp .
If only Nvidia didn't compete against its board partners, people like you would be able to get into the business without getting shafted by the OEM. Excellent production, I would love to have something like this.
That isn't really the way it works. The board partners do not get to buy GPU's like you buy loafs of bread, and do whatever they want with. The design parameters of what they may or may not do with the GPU's are contractually set. They get the basic board design, cooling requirements, firmware etc all with the partner deal, and they negotiate what they may and may not change from the reference design, the cooler is usually mostly left open, the board physical layout also is but not spec, and that's about it. Ostensibly because a board partner making a bad design reflects badly on the reputation of nVidia as a whole - they do have a point. But a small boutique maker is unlikely to be able to interface with nVidia themselves directly - but they could possibly do so through an nVidia board partner technically speaking.
Cleav video. Clean presentation. Clean sound. Clean editing. Hard worker. Break records. Why is this man so underrated and why I discover it only now ?
I almost turned it off because it felt like low quality AI content usually used to scam people for the first minute. Yeah, I wanna know a lot more about their process but, on the other hand, I don't think I need them to in order to replicate the results. They probably think they stumbled onto some great secret for air cooling and need to keep it close to the vest when anyone who has studied physics at the undergrad level can likely figure out for themselves whatever they are considering a 'trade secret', lol. Also, they claimed to have set a world record but provided zero proof. You need screen shots showing that you're number one, while logged into 3DMark under the same account you posted the result. Something tells me this is half BS. And the part that is BS is the part that sounds most impressive. They probably set a record for specific CPU/GPU combo and used an i3-10105 so they'd have zero competition. I've set a lot of 'records' this way using CPUs such as the i5 3570s where almost nobody has paired them with the modern GPU I'm benchmarking.
I knew this kind of thing was possible due to all the modding I've seen done on the highest-end consumer graphics cards, but it really is gratifying to finally see someone do it properly on a SFF workstation card without just hoping that the PCIe power delivery can cope. Very cool and the build, particularly the low-profile 3-fan version, is just so ridiculously clean.
That's what I call a "balls-to-the-wall" project. Tight video as well, congratz! Really really amazing results. I have the A2000 and it's also a fantastic card.
I absolutely loved the r9 nano when it came out. Full r9 fury X silicon, but in a teeny package. They could be easily overclocked too, and had some decent headroom with undervolting. I wish more gpu manufacturers did stuff like this.
Love the build! Just used that same copper heatsink with noctua fans to build a custom Ati 9800 Pro. Should keep the vintage hardware cool at 50 watts. 😂
Awesome work as always by the NFC team. I look forward to the day when a GPU like this is widely released on the market. Hope we see it! I've been happy with my 4060 LP. Have to save money on the GPU so I can pay Josh to make me fancy cases.
aside from the fact i had no idea such card exist - what you have done with it and the end results no only performance wise but an overall aesthetic of the card it is absolute ART WORK - thank you for giving all of us the pleasure of seeing this and giving us a benchmarks as well.
SO MUCH YES! Of course this one off is crazy expensive and hand built but GPU manufacturers take notice! The market is there for a midrange GPU that is also small and efficient and we are stuck with the 4060 LP which has too many performance compromises for me personally.
Beautiful. That is the only word I have for this mod. Well done! I would absolutely buy a kit, if you were to put one together! Excellent nod to the legendary Kingpin lineup of GPUs too. Love it.
Thanks for putting this video together. More folks are wandering into the mad-house that is the SFF community and find themselves right at home. I know I cannot leave now that I am here. would love enough critical mass in the community to attract more attention from the major brands. Thanks to Josh at NFC for a great community, and for companies that put their dollars on the line to support the SFF community. I have the 4060 LP from gigabyte shown in this video and it powers my home office PC. I myself and many others I speak to would gladly pay more for a 4070 or 4070 super (or 4080 ) that would fit into a ~5.0L sandwich case or console case. The potential for great growth is there should a company reach out to the SFF community and get them involved in product design or feedback. 4070 super under 215mm in length and under 2 slots would do very well.
this is amazing. its honestly funny that this did not exist before, but that just shows how creative you are, and the engineering skills that you have.
The main thing for me is the lack of HDMI 2.1 support. One of the great things about SFF is being able to bring it places or to a living room setup. I don't know of any DP->HDMI adapters that give you all HDMI 2.1 features.
@@joshuasniffen2037 Well the main thing would be full HDMI VRR support with 4K120. ALLM might also be nice. Might be possible with some adapters, but I haven't found one.
Sometimes, YT gets it right with the algorithm it uses. First video I have seen of yours and I'm stickin' around. Loved this and hope to see a lot more!
It not only performs better but it also looks better than any low profile solution there currently is. Great job, always a pleasure watching such projects
If you did this with a top end card and some custom printed airflow ducting, you'd have rich pc clients knocking even louder on your door than they already are.
I bought the Lowpro Gigabyte 4060 with the intention to replace fans and shrowd with 2x Noctua 92mm fans. Dont have a 3d printer so the next best thing i decided to do was to buy a pcie fan mount/ bracket.
You got a sub from me. I used build SFFs but stopped after the 3080 launch issues in 2020. I probably won't get back into it again but this was a very impressive build.
![[MV] A leap of faith...ความเชื่อใจครั้งสุดท้าย (From "Petrichor the series")](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/U1piZH2CNXA/mqdefault.jpg)
You all need to produce a batch of these parts…I would buy a kit.
I would buy a rtx 4000 if that happens
🙋 Same!
Absolutely me too ✋️!!!
Yep.
Same here
bro casually made a custom backplate & 2 front plates for a 6 minute video

Not to mention he added supplemental power...
i mean he gets to keep it and its sick so not just for a video
I'd love to know how to make something like this from the shunt mod to the copper heatsink.
GPU manufacturers TAKE NOTE. MODULARITY.
My wallet its modular too. Sometimes its TICC for 1 or 2 days and after it shrinks to quantum realm.
Modular as well as not skimping on cooling.
A full copper heatsink would do WONDERS on not only heat efficiency, but space as we currently see how much is needed to cool current gen cards
@@kokumosu copper is to expensive and modular desine is also expensive
They are probably mad now! 😂
Modularity; Asus voids your warranty with stickers
Send it to me if it breaks
Deal
And, looking at the benchmarks, they're running it pretty hot so you might end up having to in the near future.
@@Lurch-Bot where is it running hot? It's not even touching 80c.
Saw this video pop up in my feed and clicked on it because of you Tony, thought it may have been the one you did recently, hahahha
lol was just watching your vids, everyday. Now I see you watching the same stuff I watch. Small world.
this is insane. I love the engineering in this. not to mention "RTX A4000 Ti" is a badass Unofficial name
I remember the first time I heard of a "Ti" card...legendary.
@@nfcerick3634 GeForce 3 Ti was better than GeForce 4 MX!
I LOVE THE KINGPIN VIBE! THATS SO COOL
1080 ti kingpin was is the nicest looking car to date.
@@greebuh It totally is! That mesh of copper heatsink with dark fans created a new aesthetic.
@yensteel it would have been nice to see EVGA keep making cards. My old 2080 ti ftw3 ultra was really nice after I got the cage looking fan shroud accessory but it didn't hold a match to the old Kingpin.

@Apollo-Computers They aren't cheap either, a broken on on ebay is going for 500 bucks lmao
bro made a multi month project into a 6 min video, I dont like when people drag stuff out but make longer videos u earned it
This video is on another level in more than one way
Really appreciate you stopping by to comment. Thanks!

It's why EVGA left.... they were awesome cards back in the day.

Have to start from the bottom, but I’m glad you’re here!
I expect nothing less from Erick. He's the SFF mad scientist we all need in our lives.
😍
Most modern gpu coolers are so overcomplicated. This looks beautiful, is simple to maintain and performs great too. Rad work, nfc.
Absolutely brilliant production, this video was just recommended to me.
Absolutely gained my subscription! 😄
Welcome to the channel, friend!
Welcome aboard!
"Babe Wake up, NFC just released a new vid on SFF related PC parts!"
Yeah except you didn't actually do that

Cool stuff. Most shunt mod video's I have seen are done on obsolete hardware. Great to see it worked out.
RIP EVGA! love the fact you used the kingpin 1080ti style, full copper looks AMAZING. Job well done!
The level of quality is beyond my comprehension, both in the mods itself and the cinematography! This is amazing!
You should make a Company that make customs modified video cards. Most consumers will be happy. Just my opinion. Keep up the excellent work. 👍
That's what I call a "balls-to-the-wall" project. Tight video as well, congratz! Really really amazing results. I have the A2000 and it's also a fantastic card.
You've done what is awesome and sadly something that Nvidia would never approve. Glad to see enthusiast keep pushing the limits

Darn that is one beautiful baby…Great video too 💯
Dude this is badass. You turned that ada 4000 into the best sff card. Great job!
SO MUCH YES! Of course this one off is crazy expensive and hand built but GPU manufacturers take notice! The market is there for a midrange GPU that is also small and efficient and we are stuck with the 4060 LP which has too many performance compromises for me personally.
Exactly! "They" can do it, they just don't. I hope one day SFF is as popular and affordable as ATX.
Beautiful. That is the only word I have for this mod. Well done! I would absolutely buy a kit, if you were to put one together! Excellent nod to the legendary Kingpin lineup of GPUs too. Love it.
This is righteous stuff right here
Just like your other videos. Your craftsmanship and knowledge makes us lesser being melt from the inside out. Great work.
Please share solid models
Our files are free and currently available for NFC Patreon members. There are a ton of other SFF files there too!
I would buy this hands down. This is epic.
I was already obsessed with this GPU. You guys always know how to spice it up. Well played.
A very beautiful card ! I love it
Nvidia needs to hire this guy
Excellent work and cinematography!
Thank you! Always learning and working hard to improve the videos.
This is absolutely sick, I love it. The work involved in phenomenal

WOW, This is literally the best tech related video I have seen in a long time. I literally pressed the subscribe button after 36 seconds.
Welcome to the channel! Thank you!
holy, the quality of this video... :O
the power of a 2080ti, at the palm of your hands
Crazy idea = more crazy results this GPU is a beauty!
A single chip is all you need to convert that expensive GPU into a better one. Wild
This should become a thing!
At this point, NFC should buy EVGA's GPU business, I'd definitely buy from him!
We can barely afford our business! Thank you for the compliment.
1080 ti kingpin was the best looking card ever made. Nice choice to follow to make a custom card.
I agree that it was a mean looking card.
That "Baby Kingpin" font reminded me of Hooli's Gavin Belson Signature Edition Box 3 😁
