Hello, I have the card in the picture below. I believe the brand is leadtek. The card works fine and I have no problems with it. Recently I finally upgraded from a 1080p to a 4k display and when I run many games at this resolution, the cooler fan is extremely loud. What are my options for cooling this thing a bit more quietly? I am not after extreme silence, some moderate fan noise is okay by me, I just don’t enjoy games while the vacuum cleaner is running, essentially.
Clean your nasty ass computer.
Could try something like this https://www.amazon.com/RAIJINTEK-Morpheus-Heat-Pipe-Heat-Sink-Options/dp/B00R6YQYQ2/ref=asc_df_B00R6YQYQ2/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=563598683736&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=18356538083250893712&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9033829&hvtargid=pla-698366067011&psc=1

Or something like the Alphacool Eiswolf though you’d probably have to switch the rad to something smaller to fit your case.
But tbh for the price it would cost to go through all this you could probably just buy a different card with a better cooler on it.
Your best bet is probably to just go on ebay and buy someone else’s broken card and swap the coolers since other brands tend to have more substantial heat sinks.
