If you're looking for ideas on how to mod your RTX 4060, maybe remove its fans and slap a ridiculously big heatsink on it like this person did

There are many things that I would do to my graphics card—undervolt it, treasure it, sing it lullabies—but I probably wouldn't slap a gigantic heatsink on it just to eliminate the fan.

Christopher Nolan's long-awaited epic adventure film The Odyssey opens this weekend, and I won't be there to see it because the IMAX theater near me is already sold out except for those really terrible seats way down in front.
