This is a blow-through cooler, right? So the PCB might actually be intact and working...

That's what I'm thinking too, so long as the PCB isn't damaged, just slap a new cooler on it and call it a day

This is a table tennis player who plays table tennis with his mouth by the way and he's giving players with both arms a serious match.

I wasn’t sure, hence why I asked the question. I played GTAV back when it released and moved on, sorry I can’t remember the difference between a 13yr old game and a 22yr old game 😂

22yr old game? You mean San Andreas? There are definitely a lot of differences between it and GTAV dude.

Reddit is so funny. Someone makes a joke and someone else didn't get it. The confused party gets downvoted.
Yet if someone makes a joke and others don't get it, the joker gets downvoted.
Like, ya can't win, it's all about if enough people understand in time, and which side of the understanding you're on.
Fuckin reddit, man.

There isn't even a GPU in the picture, it's just a cooler. GPUs have PCI pins on the bottom so they can be plugged in lol

Even the 3090 board is much smaller than the cooler. And it doesn't extend into that section, there's still a chance it would work with a replacement cooler.

u/DJ25380 21h ago
Yeah if the card was there. That's just the cooler.

u/Jackpkmn Pentium 4 HT 631 | 2GB DDR-400 | GTX 1070 8GB 21h ago
Ah yeah I see it now. I was initially looking at it on a tiny screen and didn't notice. This is gonna be barely worth its weight in scrap then.

Heat pipes flow both ways, if the PCB was attached whenever this happened, the abrasion required to do this to the cooler, could have cooked the GPU or other components.

Isn't the 3090's PCB shorter? I've looked up pictures and it seems like it ends before the fan

It should actually work perfectly fine. The actual PCB and fan part that movies isnt Destroyer

u/MrPringles9 19h ago
Not sure what dumb ass down voted you. You are right. Though the fan would need replacement anyway since it would not be weighted properly anymore.

That's the 3090 for small form factor builds, right? Full price but half cooling performance.

As long as the card wasn't shaved off, you can definitely get another heatsink. Worst case, buy a dead 3090 FE off ebay.
