It's amazing that someone with so many coolers would understand so little about cooling.

The build is clearly a joke making fun of passive cooler mods.

Looks cool!?

That is quite possibly the dumbest looking thing I've ever seen even if made for a laugh and if not then this person has absolutely no clue what they are doing.

What a waste of materials.. we should be trying to eliminate waste not make more of it for Internet credit

LOL!

If it had some heatsinks for it's largest 'sinks, that'd would've made me LOL harder!

Dude must have thought copper heatpipes were solid on the inside and decided to use a copper ingot as the core.

The copper ingot might cost more than the RTX 3080 and all those tower heatsinks combined.

This should be told to GPU vendors who put gigantic 3 fan desings on class 60 cards.
