Rocking an AD104 GPU die, it crams 6144 CUDA Cores and 20GB of GDDR6 memory onto a Half-Height, Half-Width card, all under a two-slot cooler. BUT.... how small can we make it? N3rdware asked the same question, and decided to manufacture their own GPU Heatsinks for the RTX 4000, shrinking the footprint in half, and letting it fit into systems like the Minisforum MS-01. Today, we get the new heatsink installed, check out cooling and performance metrics, and figure out if this idea is just crazy enough to work. But first... What am I drinking???
