I broke my Aorus RX 580 plastic shroud and I’m looking for a replacement. Ive been searching on ebay, newegg, and amazon for two days but i keep finding the fans. Does anybody have any idea where I can find a replacement for plastic shroud/ plastic cover? I messaged Gigabyte but they are taking their sweet time.
You can try zip-tying fans onto the heatsink. That can work really effectively. Or just have fans mounted in the case that are positioned close to the GPU heatsink, exhausting air into it. Arctic P5 fans are dirt cheap and static pressure optimised, making them the perfect fit for your situation.
As mentioned above, a Rajintek cooling unit is basically a replacement heatsink, which you can clip fans onto with metal fan clips, like a CPU tower cooler. If you were gonna go down that path, just check the mounting hole spacing for the die. Given you already have a working heatsink, I’d advise against this option.
Alternatively, you can always zip tie replacement fans to the heatsink, or zip tie the shroud back on the heatsink. Heck, you could even zip tie the shroud around the card for extra integrity, not that I imagine you’ll need it.
From what I can tell, the plastic screw thinggy you broke off goes into the side of the heatsink facing into the motherboard?
