PALiT GeForce GTX 1050 Ti KalmX - airflow and cooling

Post by DanielP » Fri Jul 14, 2017 3:56 am

Anyone here has an experience with this card? I would like to discuss the airflow opinions and cooling in general.
My best results in a closed case were with an additional side fan mounted, (case is CM 690 III) which blows straight to the fins of the cooler. The highest long time full load temperature was 68°C, average was 65.
This however kind of mimic an active cooling.

So the questions are:
1. What would be the best case and fan combination to cool this card?
2. How to utilize the "natural convection" of the card? Would an microITX mobo in a cube type case work?
3. This card is just a temporary solution but since I started to like it, I am considering to build a silent and low TDP pc around it, after I replace it in my main rig. I think with some < 50 TDP processor (likely i3-6100T) and a passive CPU cooler. Any ideas and/or experience?

Oh and sorry for my broken English, I am not a native speaker.
