How did you custom cool your 1080 Ti? I'm sure the chip shortage created a better market for you than you would have otherwise had.

#12There's definitely a market for rarer, more unusual machines out there. I'm thinking of NeXTcubes, BeBoxes, 20th Anniversary Macintoshes, etc. Heck, the prices for Commodore 64s and Apple IIs in decent condition are skyrocketing.
These machines can't compete with modern hardware, but their rarity and the nostalgia factor are driving their prices.

I have an mITX setup and the card was overheating under load. I took off the shroud and backplate. I then got the artic accelero kit and installed the mini heatsinks and big heat sink. With the fans from the kit, it wouldn’t fit. So, I put two noctuas underneath the card. Now the card idles at whatever the room temperature is. It is quiet as a mouse because of the noctuas. I’ve only seen it touch 90c one time and that was while training a resnet over the course of 3 days.
