Has anyone ever designed a GPU to be in an external box or stand connected with a riser cable?
They wouldn't have to worry about the dimensions or weight of the cooler since it's not fitting
in a case.
E.g. They could have a CPU type cooler on the GPU and small heat sinks for rest of the card.
Or just a much bigger traditional card like a 6 slot equivalent.
The card would always get fresh cool air and exhaust outside the main case too.
I know they've made external water cooled cards for laptaps and people could mount their air
cooled cards externally already but I was thinking of card that wasn't designed to ever go in
a case or on a motherboard so they could make a cooler how they want without the usual restrictions.
