Used AMD MI100 home-lab test: a 3D-printed shroud cools 300W at just 2,400 rpm

A home-labber tested a 3D-printed shroud on a used AMD MI100 (300W): despite looking like a notebook cooler, it's wider than the card itself with a 110mm side-exhaust fan, and holds 300W at only 2,400 rpm. The card runs around 100°C and loses 10% peak speed to thermal throttling, but noise stays bearable. The original STL is on GitHub (issuj/mi50-sunon-efb0251s3-c010-s9a) and should fit most of the AMD MI lineup.
