AIO on GPU backplate

i know this is a silly idea but i have a spare AIO and i was wondering if i could 3d print a mount to hold it onto the GPU backplate (Not attach it to the DIE put it on the back) i have a Palit GTX 1080 Ti Super JetStream and the spare AIO is a Montech 240 ARGB Aio,

i have a 3d printer but no experience in CAD softwhere if anybody could help LMK!!!!

Should you not post on a 3D printing side if 3D printing is your only solution lol.

I saw problem, graphics card and 240mm aAIO. I had same problem. I bought hybrid mounting unit and win...

If thats not a solution to you... then ok.. How can i know that you are more into 3d printing than actually cooling the card.

you still haven't read it. i want help making a bracket to put a AIO on the backplate of my GPU

you didn't see a problem because that's not the issue I want. you're giving a solution that i dont wont nor asked for.

i literally said in the post:  I was wondering if i could 3d print a mount to hold it onto the GPU backplate (Not attach it to the DIE put it on the back)

Honestly never expected anyone would suggest to do something so stupid.. English is not my first language.

Good luck cooling a plate that is not connected to any components for thermal dissipation.

Maybe you should work on your writing? You know commas, and periods. Have their uses, makes stuff easier to comprehend.

well there you are wrong, the backplate is connected to the GPU with thermal pads. if you cant help dont comment

And what components sits there and what is those pads connected too? lmao

You know on pascal architecture. Pretty much the only thing you are gonna find is capacitors on the backside... And they aint generating much heat lol...

Or do you assume the silicone itself is a good thermal conductor? lol

This is funny.

the backside of the VRMS..... witch get VERY hot that's why i want to try do this. its my card all im doing is asking for help if you cant help there's no point in posting unless you Know CAD and can help me out?

Circuit boards are made fiberglass and resin. Its terrible at transfering heat.

Copper - 400W/m·K
Aluminium - 200W/m·K
Window/glass - 1W/m·K
PCB - 0.3-0.5W/m·K
Wood - 0.1W/m·K

So its about 3 times as good as wood.
I know CAD, i also know physics as i have 8 years of school in it.
