AMD Powercolor Red Dragon Vega 56 Fan Shroud for Noctua NF-A9x14 Fans

thingiverse

This is a replacement for the preinstalled fans on the Vega 56 Red Dragon Graphics Card from Powercolor. I never had a graphics card with decent fans, not even the Asus Strix fans were nearly as good as my other fans. So i bought 3 Noctua NF-A9x14 fans and made a shroud for my latest graphics card. My aim was to keep it as slim as possible so it will still fit the Fractal Design Core 500 case (2 slot cards only). It prints without any supports, but it needs a bigger print bed. I think PLA should work, since the print won't touch the cooler or any hot parts directly, but to be safe use PETG or ABS. The assembly should be pretty easy. Take off the preinstalled fans by unscrewing the 6 small screws around the perimeter. Don't forget to unplug the old fans and the LED. Make sure the screws fit into the holes of the printed parts, then place both printed parts on a table and insert the Noctua fans. Place the graphics card on top and put the screws back in. You'll need a adapter and some splitter cables to connect the Noctua fans, since the connectors on the gpu are different from those on the motherboards. I think the gpu uses a 2mm pitch connector, but i'm not 100% sure about that since a already had a matching connector.
