It's a Tesla P40 24gb I got off eBay a while ago. Just like AllHailTheSheep suggested, it's a server GPU meant for compute workflows so it relies on forced air from a server rack. I repasted the die with liquid metal and added a 3d printed duct to attach the radial blower to. The thing never cracks 60c under inference which is nice. Idles around 24c

(Edit: I'm mostly using it for LLMs, but it supposedly makes a good CAD card, so I might give that a shot too)

Nice!! I love seeing 'field expedient modifications.' I have an old CoolerMaster Cosmos case. The thing is a monster. I didn't like the way the fan cooling was operating so I took two 4"/300 cfm fans and mounted them to blow over the two processors of my mobo. Then I printed a scoop for the case and used that as the intake. Works well, better than the OEM configuration and keeps my processors running at a cool 98 deg +/-.
