Complete OEM PNY blower-style cooler assembly for the Nvidia RTX A6000 workstation GPU. Removed from a working A6000 card to install a custom water block. Everything that comes off the GPU when you strip it for watercooling is here, plus the original retail box. Still has the protective plastic peel on it.
THE GPU IS NOT INCLUDED. This is for the cooler assembly and box only.
WHAT'S INCLUDED:- OEM PNY blower fan and shroud assembly- Heatsink (vapor chamber / fin stack)- Original PNY backplate- All factory screws and hardware that come off the card- Original PNY RTX A6000 retail box (VCNRTXA6000-PB)- Original foam packaging inserts
COMPATIBLE WITH:- Nvidia RTX A6000 48GB (PNY VCNRTXA6000-PB and equivalents)
This cooler will fit any standard reference-PCB Nvidia RTX A6000 (Ampere generation, 48GB GDDR6). It is NOT compatible with the newer RTX 6000 Ada Generation (different PCB and dimensions) or the RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell.
WHO IS THIS FOR:- A6000 owners whose factory cooler has failed (common in dense AI/ML server racks running 24/7)- A6000 owners who watercooled their card and now want to revert to air cooling for resale or warranty- Anyone who bought a "GPU only, no cooler" listing and needs the OEM assembly to make their card complete- Anyone who lost or damaged their original PNY retail box and needs one for resale value
CONDITION:Complete and functional. Blower fan spins freely with no rattle or bearing noise. Heatsink fins are intact with no bent fins. Backplate is straight with no bends. Thermal pads and paste residue may be present from original installation - clean with isopropyl alcohol and apply fresh thermal pads/paste before reinstallation. The original PNY retail box is in good condition with normal shelf wear, all foam inserts included.
INSTALLATION NOTES:- Clean all old thermal paste and pads from the cooler before reinstallation- Replace VRAM and VRM thermal pads with fresh pads of equivalent thickness (typical 1mm to 2mm, varies by location)- Apply fresh quality thermal paste to the GPU die- Follow Nvidia's torque pattern when remounting (cross-pattern, gradual tightening)- Reset thermal sensor calibration in Nvidia drivers after reinstallation
This is a hard-to-find part since most A6000 owners either keep their stock cooler attached or discard it after watercooling. Workstation GPU coolers do not have aftermarket replacements - if your A6000 cooler dies, OEM is your only option.
Sold as used. The cooler functions as it did when removed from the working GPU. Buyer is responsible for proper reinstallation. No returns once thermal interface materials have been disturbed by the buyer.
