Modder cuts GPU hotspot temperatures 19C by moving the card

Original: Modder discovers that putting a GPU in the 'wrong place' can deliver a 19 degree cooler hotspot In PC DIY it might still

A PC modder known as TrashBench has found that mounting a graphics card in a non-standard slot can lower its hotspot temperature by as much as 19 degrees Celsius. The result is drawing attention in the DIY community as a reminder that conventional build advice is not always optimal, and that case layout and airflow experimentation can still yield real thermal gains.

Why now: The surprising size of the temperature drop challenges standard PC building conventions, making it noteworthy hardware enthusiasts.
