Hey man!
So first of all, i really appreciate you talking the time to answer, i apologize it took me so long to see it.
Most of this makes sense to me, and yes, my 2U setup had the cards stripped of their heatsinks and fans - which aligns with what you said.
However, the only thing that confuses me is what you said about the blower fans:
So these GPUs that are listed as supported under 2U servers have no cooler? its all a heat sync that is supposed to be cooled by the chassis fans?
