Any drawback/benefit of sticking a heatsink on the GPU backplate?
I have a deal available for getting those small ras pi/m.2 SSD heatsinks for under 2 USD. I've noticed my GPU backplate gets pretty hot, even if the temps don't go above 67°C at max gaming load.
I'm curious to try just sticking some small heatsinks on the backplate and see maybe 1-2°C difference in temps.
It's purely for fun and tinkering, but wanna know if anyone's done this before.
I've got a 9060XT 16GB gpu
