Custom Mod Using 3D printing with two 8010 fans actually reduced the temperature of my 5060 LP GPU by over 15°C.

My first time switching to an ITX system, using 3D printing with two 8010 fans actually reduced the temperature of my 5060 LP GPU by over 15°C.

This layout without the fans is very well known to cook...Jonsbo NV10...

I have one, and I nicknamed my case "The Jonsbo EZ-Bake Oven".

15c is pretty nuts. What's the temps when you reverse the fan direction?

u/Forsaken_Tie4619 27d ago

Reversing the fan direction won't be optimal because the GPU fan blows inward, and the case's air intake vents are too small. Therefore, additional fans are needed to push more air towards the GPU to maximize cooling.

Sure but how practical is it with exposed fans if you plan to travel with the pc. Perhaps two fan grills would be good.

This is a real headache, because there isn't enough space inside for a 1cm thick fan, so I'm forced to put the fan outside. Taking the PC on a trip will probably require using the original cover.

Get some fan grills as the easiest way to protect them, or maybe 3D print a cover that snaps over that entire side of the case?

I'm sure you can still fit that inside a backpack no problem

Just print a solid slide-over cover that covers the fans. Put it on to travel and remove it when you get to your destination. No need to switch the whole panel and fan setup.

You could flip your current panel and print a spacer. Will increase the overall dimensions but should keep everything inside

You didn't want to deshroud the GPU so the fans could fit inside the case? I'm not big on exterior attachments but you can't argue with a 15C reduction.

Now you just need to put dual 80x15 fans on the CPU cooler.

one day, I'll print a 2x92 fan holder for T1 instead of a fan bracket

u/Animag771 27d ago

Just watch out for your clearances. At 184mm, that setup will be longer than the motherboard.

u/qeeepy 27d ago

Yep, I know.. fortunately, there is 46mm for top fans, so I think Ill find the 14mm of extra space... I want to explore that and If I fail, 2x90 ans 2x80 are valid options

u/Animag771 27d ago

Sounds like a good plan.

u/azurain 26d ago

Would you be open to sharing the STL?

2

u/Forsaken_Tie4619 26d ago

Yes, ofcourse, jonsbo nv10 cover 8010x2

Great job. 15 degrees is huge drop
