I'm curious if any of you think this is a worthwile endeavor.
I am hardly experienced in GPU cooling, but I have been seeing heatsinks that cover the front and back of PCBs lately, the most prominent being the Zalman HeatPipe cooler assembly.
Well, I was wondering, is it a viable solution to have active cooling on the GPU and the PCB behind/underneath it? The area back there is defintely hot to the touch, so I have added a passive Northbridge copper cooler just to see if it would get hot also. It does.
I'm thinking about adding a copper sink and fan (Vantec GPU solution) now to see if this helps aid heat dispersion. But who knows, maybe this will actually do the reverse. I stayed home the day they taught thermodynamics.
Thanks!
