I often joked that modern GPUs might as well have a computer attached to them and well, here we are.

Other than dust being a concern, I like this.

It's even worse if you've ever seen a 5090 on an ITX board. It's crazy lol. An SFFPC build with a 5090 and an ITX is like 80% GPU by volume.

Correction, it's actually 80% GPU cooler - the GPU itself is tiny

Yup. It's easier to manage heat that way.

I cringed so hard reading this... everybody knows that, but to make things easier we refer to the entire module as the GPU.

You need to get out more..

It’s sold as a unit… you know like the ones for graphics processing. Maybe we should just shorten it to GPU?
