Custom GPU cooler fan mod fit Yeston RTX 3050 LP

Overview

This is a custom, 3D-printable cooling shroud designed specifically for the Yeston RTX 3050 6GB Low Profile GPU. It replaces or modifies the stock cooling layout to allow a cheap $5 AliExpress blower fan to pull fresh air directly into the heatsink, fixing severe thermal throttling in ultra-tight Small Form Factor (SFF) cases (like the HP ProDesk 600 G5 SFF, Dell OptiPlex, or Lenovo ThinkCentre).

By bypassing the suffocating gap between the GPU and the power supply unit (PSU), this mod drops peak temperatures by 25°C (from 90°C down to 64°C) and prevents aggressive performance drops in AAA gaming.

How to Print

To ensure the shroud handles GPU exhaust heat without warping over time, please follow these recommendations:

• Material: ABS or ASA is strongly recommended due to high heat resistance and structural durability. PETG can be used as an alternative. PLA is not recommended due to potential deformation under sustained heat.

• Infill: 30% to 40% (Gyroid or Grid pattern).

• Walls/Perimeters: 3 to 4 wall lines for strong retention around screw holes.

• Supports: Minimal or no supports needed depending on your slicer orientation.

• Adhesion: Brim recommended if printing ABS/ASA to prevent corner warping.
