HardwareModder Transforms Kitchen Ice Maker into RTX 3060 Cooler with Beer Fridge Thermostat
A YouTube creator from TrashBench executed an unconventional project, converting a standard kitchen ice maker into a cooling system for an RTX 3060 graphics card. The modder replaced the stock cooler with a custom water-cooling loop connected to the ice maker. To ensure stable operation, the factory thermostat was swapped for one from a beer fridge, maintaining consistent compressor temperatures. As a result, the GPU temperature in Cyberpunk 2077 dropped from 60°C to a record 22°C, while the chip’s hot spot fell from 75°C to 34°C.
