Sad day indeed.

looks like they stopped making product in the 2080's and 5700xt's... and they announced the End of Life.. they haven't released anything for the newer GPU's but with the way coolers are made now, are they really needed?

That was my thought. Only thing that I could think would be marketable are water blocks, maybe blower coolers on mid range cards for SSF systems if so many did not have unfounded hated for them.

I'm glad I have what I've got at least.

Thanks Scotty
Amazon is everywhere I have ordered it.
I did buy some cheap glue from china I tested it on one of the cards that I used for CheapasChips glued a small heatsink on the GPU and left it for 24 Hrs I picked it up by the heatsink and card stayed where it was sitiing. Forget that shit.
