One Redditor has 3D-printed a big yellow air duct to attach to their GPU, and the results are middling: It ‘does nothing but it looks cool’
If you’re wondering what happens when you cross a love of cars with a gaming PC, you get a full-on air duct inside a gaming PC. And it looks way better than I was expecting it to.
Over on Reddit, user Esra-Zander shared their project to the Nvidia subreddit. In it, they attached a large yellow air duct to the bottom of the GPU, with the endpoint positioned at the bottom of the front of the PC case.

As a comment points out, “Hey OP, the tests are within margin of error sooo… the duct does nothing but it looks cool”. Their reply? “Sweet! That’s a relief, I thought it was all negatives but I certainly enjoyed making it”.
Esra-Zander goes on to say, “Clearly the design is flawed but I certainly don’t think it’s beyond saving. I will continue working until I have something I’m happy with.”
It seems like the point of, well, slapping an air duct on the bottom of your RTX 5070 isn’t necessarily to get better results. The point of it is to say “I’ve slapped an air duct on the bottom of my RTX 5070”. At least, in this case, it looks pretty neat.
