Passive cooled GPU/Passive aftermarket GPU-Cooler?

Don't know about after market ones but asus sells a passively cooled GTX750

a gtx 750 produces SIGNIFICANTLY less heat then a 970 and even then they under clocked the GPU to keep it cool. back to the op, are you sure you need a passively cooled one? how much airflow do you have in your case?
 


Everyone is talking about 750s 🙁
I don't need a completely passive cooled card, so I already looked at the Raijintek Morpheus, but I'm not sure if it supports the newer cards.
And Airflow in my case is what I would call "good".
 


i dont believe they make any coolers that are passively cooled for that card however if you want to get creative there might be a way. one option i can think of is get a reference hybrid cooler for that card remove the water-block and rad, then put a very powerful thermometric cooler on the chip and a nice cpu cooler on the hot end of the TEC. other then that i would just try to fine a nice cooler for it. if you get one with very nice fans you could get almost no noise out of it.
 


So could I just take some of those modules and stick them on a heatsink? (their TDP is around 60W and the 970 has a TDP of 145W, but when I take 3 or 4 of them, then it could technically work?)

 


if your psu can handle them (i would use a separate psu just for them) then i would put them as close to the metal of the heat-sink as you can. (i wouldn't have them resting on the fins) you also need a heat-sink on the hot side of each plate. but yes it could possibly work. you should also insulate basically everything except the heat-sink on the plates. if you dont the metal gpu heat-sink might go below ambient at idle and condensation will begin to appear on it potentially damaging components.
