Nothing a couple of fans can't fix if you want to use it in a desktop.
Sure, a couple of 40MM screamers, unless you want to bend the fins on the top open and add 2x 120MM.

Meanwhile powercolor 5700xts are on "sale" over here for just... €900. Someone's really far gone.
Maybe the AIBs should take a page out of Kenner's playbook and when you purchase the card they just send you an empty box and a couple of months later the card arrives?

3D print a shroud for a 120mm tapered down to the card. ;)

Just pay a visit to the Ghetto mods thread and you have couple ideas to macgyver something for the heatsink.

Hopefully more stuff like this keeps the criminal currency market from ruining the gaming market any more than covid and inadequate capacity already have.

Awesome, even less chance gamer's can buy a new card.
This card wouldn't have been able to be sold to gamers anyway.
I'm sure it'd also be overpriced over a "gaming" 5700XT - it'd be doubly expensive to just purchase an aftermarket GPU heatsink and slap it on there.

By what they say the only thing that makes it a miner card is one of the 2 bios are setup for crypto and the cooler, other wise it says it's a reference card.


I already said it be kinda crazy to buy a 3rd party cooler for it, and lets face it these will not be cheap either.

In this type of case/situation, wouldn't it make more sense for the fins on the heatsink to be horizontal rather than vertical? So the airflow is straight through the fins and out the back?

From a desktop user's perspective, this isn't a fanless card, it just moves the fan from card to chassis. But it's not a desktop card ... so I guess it's fanless in the chassis world.

I guess we should only hope for some dedicated ASIC to come up and make GPU mining irrelevant again... (a man with an ancient R9 280X can hope)

Fanless? Yes.

Passively cooled? No.

nice, reminds me of those high end nvidia and AMD GPU's that gigabyte would stick a huge heatsink on in the late 2000's, have owned a few, they work pretty well if you have even a small amount of case aiflow, although those cards where typically 100-125w tdp, so im pretty sure a 5700 XT would set itself on fire in those same conditions haha.
