Coolers on the GPU

[ThroughTheGame]

Hello guys. This is not a conventional question but is there a way in my GPU can damage by holding some coolers on it?
Here is a photo:

The one from the left i use to cool the other side o the GPU as long as it gets really hot between the RAM, CPU, GPU, HDD, and there comes the one from the right to take the hot air out of the case. Could this thing (holding coolers on the other side of the GPU) damage it?

Well, generally it is always a bad idea to sit anything on an exposed circuit board, however the fans are plastic so technically it shouldn't hurt anything.
You do run a small risk of static build-up on the plastic and it discharging to the nearest metal or grounded conductor, in your case the board.

If you can mount them even a few millimeters or a 1/4 inch off the board would eliminate most of the risk, you might get better airflow too, but it's a little hard to tell in your picture where the airflow is going exactly.

I have some holes on the right side (or left, it depends from what point of view you look <<the part is taken down on the case in the photo has the holes>>) of the case, so there it shoul do. It is just for a short time until i will be able to buy a decent case.

yes you will end up damaging something...
you would be better off using some kind of bracketing solution...

it was a tight fit but i mounted it using brackets screwed into the side panel fan so when i pulled the side of the case off the fan came with it.
it was surprisingly effective.

i used for the brackets. i just re purposed the pci-e covers. as they were slim enough to bend but thick enough to maintain rigidity, so as not to flex when the fan was working.

screws were just standard fan screws.
i know it looks junky but i was broke at the time and the 98'c running temp of the card was a little to warm for my tastes.

after the mod my max temp was 55'c

strange, my max temp of the case is 53'C. The GPU is somwhere to 50, CPU 60 (This is a test after 7 hours of intense gaming)

strange? no mate not really... mate i was refering to temps on my old 8800gt...

im not saying your plan wont cool, im saying it will move about as the case and other moving parts vibrate.

so mount your cooling solutions above the surfaces rather than on them. it will cut down on vibration and noise, as well as much less of a chance of something and slipping and breaking something else.
