Perhaps unhappy with the Palit GeForce RTX 3050 KalmX 6GB still being the pinnacle of commercial passive graphics cards in 2026, Bilibili user NexFrame (h/t Fanless Tech ) has bolted a hulking finned aluminum heatsink onto an RTX 4060. NexFrame appears to be a small or up-and-coming ‘brand’ with a penchant for passive PC systems , from what we can understand from their Bilibili bio (machine translation).

Squinting at the Bilibili video source, a system monitor window seen towards the end of the video appears to show that the GPU is running in a gaming scenario at 58C, with a 71C hotspot. Meanwhile, the graphics fan is running at 0 RPM, which seems accurate. However, the modder doesn’t seem to be taking it easy on the GPU.…
