Nvidia GTX 16XX Asetek 4th gen Adapter Mount for Corsair H55 AIO

thingiverse

This design is a simple adapter for mounting a Asetek 4th gen to a 1660 Super. In my case I use a 1660 Super from Asus, the Pheonix version that have an awful cooler. Before this change on an open bench it did hit the thermal limit and drop down the gpu clock to something between 1700 and 1800. # BOM Pump Mount: - 4 M3 screws, I don't know exactly the length of the ones I used but with 10 cm ones you should be ok. - 4 plastic washers - 8 or more M3 nuts. - 1 Corsair back Mount - 1 Corsair front Mount - 1 Flashlight Pre-installation: Plan your tube routing and where are you gonna mount the rad. This is crucial to know on what direction you need to place the pump on the card. Steps: 1. With the back plate you need to place the 4 screws, secure them using 4 nuts and place 4 plastic washers to avoid them touching the PCB. 2. Place it on the card and put some thermal paste on the die. 3. Insert the front plate over the pump, there is a big slot to pass the tubing and cables. 4. Guide the pump mount over the screws and use 4 nuts to secure it, first don't tight them all the way. You want to make sure is center and its touching the thermal paste. 5. Start tightening the nuts in a cross pattern and use the flashlight to check when the thermal paste start oozing out the sides. You want make sure that it have good contact but it's not crushing the die. One idea: If you have 4 springs and a few metal washer you can use the spring between the front plate and the nut to ensure the right amount of pressure on the die. # BOM Fan Mount: There is an optional fan mount for mounting the original fan of the GPU to cool down the ram and vrm. For that you will need: - 8 M3 nuts - 1 Corsair H55 OG Fan Mount (one of the two versions) - 4 of the original mounting screws that where used to mount the fan to the original plastic shroud. I didn't made holes for the screws of the fan because they where to tiny and it was easier to mark them down and drill down a guide hole and make the threading by force. After this mod the GPU is super silent and on load it don't go over the 50°c. With some tinkering i was able to undervolt it to 0.95 volt at 2055 mhz and +250 mhz on the ram. Hope it help someone with his build. :)
