Just for anybody's interest watching the video late: I have the same NCase setup and benchmarked the Asus STrix 1080ti cooler with the 120mm Vardar fans like Optimum did. The temps after 20 mins of Heaven 4 didn't climb higher than 70°C and at 1500 rpm fan speed. OT achieved 60°C max at the same RPM, note though that he had the temps corrected to a 20°C ambient, while in my summery hot flat were around 27°C while the test ran. That in mind, OT got about 3-4° less on the Accelero. Anyone planning on doing a cooler swap or getting a new 1080ti note that the cooler on the Strix is outstanding in performance and almost manages to get the same temps than this very good aftermarket product!
same here, running 30 degrees cooler on my rig with GTX 1080 then the stock cooler, and is pretty much silent. never throttles anymore since i have this cooler, it's perfect. With RDR2 on high settings it ran 82 degrees celsius and throttling back 250mhz to keep it at 82 degrees (fan speed 100%), with the Arctic Accellero Extreme it runs 50 degrees celsius and never clocks back at high-ultra settings (fan speed 50%). It's a beast, and it is silent. I use the back plate cooler, its much better, the fans blow on the chips and the pcb is cooled from the back, and it works perfectly.
i have the artic accelero 3 on my founders edition 980 ti and it works well. Its a pain in the artic ass to assemble. The instructions are bad,but my temps with a aggressive over clock never went above 62c. with the fans all the way up u cant hear them. good cooler tho.
I don't think it's fair to say that the VRM temps are significantly better on the Accelero since you left the stock EVGA heat sinks on there for the Morpheus cooler. Whether or not it would have made a difference, I'm not sure, but you compared the heat sink of the Morpheus, not the included pads/heat sinks. Great video though. It's given me something to think about. Edited wording. P. S. This is still a wonderful video and the VRMs are perfectly fine on each card with both after market coolers. We appreciate you investing the time into the testing and comparisons. :)
Optimum Tech Yeah, the moment you started comparing the vrm temps I could feel the little gremlin inside me reaching for the comments section, nice to see you recognise the problem P.S. you should probably like/pin this comment so other people will see it after watching your video
Even in that config it was a couple degrees diff. For a few ° I would never void warranty by gluing heatsinks on. So easy to go back to stock if issues arise with the morpheus and stock vrm/vram plate.
I have tried Accelero IV and NZXT G12 on my Gigabyte Windforce 1080, i paired the G12 with an old H55 from Corsair. NZXT G12, H55 Corsair AIO, IPPC Industrial 3000rpm Noctua 120mm Fan (25 idle, 45 gaming) Easy to install, check AIO cooler compatibility, look for old Corsair or Thermaltake. in the downside you need 3 Fan headers for GPU G12 Fan, Pump and Radiator Fan. You need a fan splitter/hub and a pwm "mini" (conector of the GPU) cable to pwm to control all those fans from GPU software or you can connect them to all the Motherboard fan headers, also to find a place to place the GPU radiator in your case. Pros: Best cooling performance (25 idle, 45 gaming) You can choose 120mm, 140mm, 240mm, 280mm or even 360mm radiators (check compatibility in NZXT website) you can choose any fan Price is lower than an Artic Accelero considering and old 120mm radiator Cons: You will need PWM fan connector and a splitter/hub to control all your GPU fans from a single software Space needed for the radiator Lots of cables to manage Noctua industrial fan was very noisy, even at 1500rpm Artic Accelero Xtreme IV (28 idle, 55 gaming) I returned and i bought an Accelero IV, it looks cheap but hell the performance for an air cooled. Installation is somewhat complicated if you never done something similar before, also you need to test fit because instructions says that you need some washers but the GPU wasn´t making full contact with the heatsink. Also the backplate/heatsink is so heavy and bulky that may interfere with ram slots, making the GPU to sag, so be careful. The 3 fans come powered by a single "mini" pwm connector that you can plug it directly to your GPU and control them with any GPU software you use. Pros: Less cables Full fan control without needing additional hardware Performance similar to AIo cooling Very quiet fans Cons: Overall weight of you GPU Can cause your GPU to sag Heatsink and fans occupy 4 PCIE slots Backplate can interfere with your RAM sticks The reasons i choose Artic Accelero Xtreme IV: My need to clean my system often, so to take the GPU out it's only 2 thumb screws and PCIE lock with the G12 it was more work and more cleaning. The Artic fans can be detached without any screw, so you can clean them or even mod it. The other reason was to switch to an mini itx (Cougar QBX) case without sacrificing performance. The last one is a cleaner build for me, as the only “visible” cables are CPU, MOBO and GPU cables.
We need a new proper cooler from Arctic. Make a new S3 made for 2x 140mm fans. Some solid VRM and RAM cooling to boot and we're ready to go. No more gigantic metal for the backside though, it rarely fits.
I realize this is an older video, but this is fantastic. This shows the potential of an air cooled ITX enclosure. I would love to see a build like this in the TU150 with D15 on an i9 and 2080ti with exotic aftermarket air cooling.
I have always bad memories with the Arctic brand... I ordered a Morpheus II for my quiet build, i have the place for it... But man... That Accelero III with the Ncase looks so cool... so industrial... so minimal... i love it!
The ability to use the EVGA midplate to cool the VRM and VRAM is a huge advantage for the Morpheus, as the Accelero heatsinks are a major pain to deal with.
I think the reason it was hot on push is because fans lose a lot of airflow being right up against the grille like on the bottom of the M1 and also negative case pressure generally works better for temps.
It is the single most iconic GPU cooler of all time, I’m still impressed by how well it performs after all these years despite its somewhat thin design.
Had that one on my GTX280 and 780. On the 280 i couldnt fit the vrm cooling fins that came with the heatsink back then, so i had to saw some pieces out of the stock cooler and fiddle them to the card. worked amazingly well and that card still works today. i put a very silent fan and OC profile right into the cards bios and never had to touch that setup again. on the gtx 780, i changed to watercooling after a while, but only to put the card in a smaller case. temps didnt really change that much. great cooler.
Most of the air a fan moves comes from the tips of the blades, those 120mm fans were probably too wide for the fin stack of the heatsink as most of the air would be pushed around to sides rather than through the fins in the push configuration.
Morphy looks so much better. Yes you have to buy fans but in the end card going to look like high-end product. Accelero really look cheap and they should really improve quality of that plastic.
Best cooler is accelero xtreme (3xfans),since I have this, my cards almost never go beyond 50 ° in full, completely cool the gpu and also pcb over the entire length. The 3 fans are ultra quiet, even at max speed. Purchased 8 years ago (already) for a 560ti evga, version accelero xtreme plus 2, I managed to adapt it on my 970 FTW with a slight offset, but now fits perfectly on my new 1060 evga SCC without any problem , and still as efficient, very low temp, lower than any watercooler system I have ever seen. Example Tekken 7 between 30 ° and 45 ° max in full ultra(fans at middle speed), ditto Project Cars 2, and all recent games ...8 years that it works like a charm, like what, look like does not reflect the quality(tested & approved).
TwizZtin If i dont know what the watercooling is better for 1060 i should know about watercooling...Are you sure?,i telling about performance/price in this case AX Plus2 is much better than all you mention (compare to the price...),what the interest to buy watercooling?,i haven't 4K screen,but all the world need have it,because you have it,all the world fooling the money through the windows?,sorry but that you mention,coast how?(not a secret money buy all,you too),prove it funny commentator,have the monster machine,and what do you do with?,than to make stupid comments, remonstrances for those who ignore the subject of conversation. Who's the best ?, watercooling ?, how watercooling is, what's the best ?, who is the best ?, money for sure, but not here. I can OC my GPU to the best with low temp, 55 ° max, and without OC 40-45 ° in latest games, but it's enough for what I have to do?, Oh yes as long as I hold you, you say hold material that I doubt that you have oddly, something tells me that a furious OC is not very good in computing and that he spends his time playing video games, otherwise the OC is useless . So let's get back to it, Accelero Xtreme 2 (i've buying this 60 $ 4 years ago), now tell me how much money do you have in your ventilation system, and in what configuration do you need it? Before I say that I do not know anything about it, make sure you know what I'm talking about.
TwizZtiN Who does not need this index? it is always a parameter not to neglect on all the tests,if you do not agree it's the same,not matter. You think the navel of the world with your hardware, and how I should update myself, I have an i7, a good motherboard, a very good graphics card, the best of 1060 can eat a 1070. This is not enough to date according to you ?, and if you do not like that I kept this device AE extreme plus 2, they made 3 graphics cards, proves that they last a long time without failing. Already an indicator that you try to choke because your claim pushes to denigrate this device to AIR, which is the center of the subject I remind you?, Not YOU! And yes I bought it about 8 years ago, and reinstalled on another card and on my last one had to readapt (since I was not going to buy an accelero xtreme plus 3 while the "plus 2" are the same except the serifs to fix them). And then I'm not calculating the years of purchase, I do not care royally, it remains purely indicative, the rest of my temperatures, if I changed it is obviously OC extreme, poor troll. You're despicable of pretension but what you say about your material and your temperatures are not able to prove it, that I can. The ideal is that my temperatures correspond to my use, ie average game graphically, I turn 40 °, a greedy game will take 50 ° but rarely beyond, it must tell you how? "It's not my fault you can't afford better hardware." But I do not want to spend more for what 5 ° better, and what for ?, just for fun?, to say shit in the comments, just to say that I found better for 10x more expensive ??? That's what your thinking is, what you find funny in fact, is your lie that you carry since the 1st of your post. Who does not know anything about this AIR device, if you have not tested it then, SHUT UP! You do not interest anyone in this thread. "Do not get salty and stop talking bullshit." Stop it now,you dont tell me like that ok,vindicative kid. "Seems you really do not know what you're talking about" Well which talk accelerated xtreme and shut up definitively,you don't know what you talking about.
1:04 - not to mention the TIME it will take to acquire the fans and install them. Not a big deal for a "techie" (probably have them on hand) but could mean an odyssey of confusion and frustration for a noob like myself.
I just built a Fractal R6 with Noctua 15D CPU and Morpheus II cooler using a single Noctua 12-15 slimline fan with low noise adapter positioned in the center of the heatsink and have gotten great results with it. Fortunately I have room to spare in this case. This combination is super quiet using the R6's fan hub to drive the case fans off the CPU connector and with the low noise adapters on both of the D15 fans. The Accelero III looks more complete, however the plastic shims looked a bit cheesy. I liked the all metal attachment on the Morpheus better, but the Morpheus II solution does look more bolted up than like a finished product and is definitely bulkier. I'm just happy that I can get this quality of cooling without messing with water cooling and I'm glad there are solid options for air cooling GPU's.
The difference in VRAM and VRAM temps when comparing this to the morpheus likely might have been due to using the stock fins/heatpipes on that EVGA 1080ti rather than installing the individual heatsinks for all the components that also come with the Morpheus.
Something really weird about the Accelero III or the older one too. Saw many videos about them and they perform amazingly well all the time!! The weird part about them is how the fuck these thin heatsink achieve these amazing temperature while other companies with huge heatsinks and a very big card like the zotac amp extreme coudn't????! the Accelero is doing something really magical for an air cooled card.
You are actually on to something there. Why the f*** doesn't the HUGE cooler on the Zotac AMP Extreme not perform just as well as the Accelero III? I mean, the sizes are very comparible, and if you compare the price of that Zotac card, you realize that A LOT of money are spend on that cooler. Ofc, you get RGB as well, but that doesn't justify those poor temps...
On those heatsinks, they're not just cooling the GPU. There's also memory and vrms, and depending on how the vrm is built it can be really, really hot.
More fins, more heatpipes. This cost a lot and the manufacturer wants to lower the costs. They put big useless pieces of crap who are worth nothing compared to an aftermarket cooler who you pay 50$ or more.
Info for anyone thinking about it: My blower-cooler GTX 1080 ran 83deg with thermal throttling before, and loud fan noise. Now 60deg full load, pretty quiet. I actually prefer the look of this cooler over the stock one
Been rocking this cooler in my M1 build for a while now. If you're trying to make your build quieter by lowering your rpm while keeping solid Temps, I definitely recommend doing this. Just make sure you know the limitations of your gpu warranty.
I have the Morpheus with 2x EK Vardar 3000RPM fans on an Auros GTX1080ti and easily the best cooling option for the VRM and memory is naked with airflow. Unless you shunt mod the card (which you wouldn't do on air anyway) the VRM stack on even a reference card isn't getting hot enough you need to do more than 2x120mm of airflow right above it. Drop a 120mm fan on a naked motherboard VRM and it will better than stock with a heatsink.
Please stop using that rubbish Thermal Paste from Deep Cool. At least use the Noctua NT H1 as a minimum. Got a build from a friend that used that, after I gave him some the improvement is significantly high. For the GPU an improvement of 10 Degrees C. For CPU around 7 Degrees C. Use NT H1 or Gelid as a standard.
I was able to get my Accelero fans to 2170 rpm. I only have the twin fans instead of the triple fan layout. However, my GTX 970 SC Hits a max of 55c on full load with an overclock and overvoltage. Before, I had the EVGA ACX2.0 stock cooler and hit a wopping 70c on full load without overclocks. I can't wait to see if there's going to be a bigger difference when I upgrade my case for better airflow.
VRM temps aren't really a fair comparison considering the morpheus only had the default EVGA base plate which is designed to contact the heatsink above for heat dissipation. On another note, just found your channel and am enjoying your videos!
I've had a couple of Accelero III coolers and I wasn't very impressed. One on an R9 290x and the other I tested on a GTX 1080. I got much better cooling on the 290x by just removing the card's stock fans an strapping on a couple Corsair SP 120 fans over the heat-sink than I ever did with the Accelero III. Yeah, it didn't look pretty, but it was a hell of a lot quieter and cooled much better.
I've been running as Morpheus II on my Vega64 since 2017 and I gotta say, I'm really happy with the results. Using good paste (Kryonaut) and two Noctua NF-A14 fans the GPU never exceeds 60C even with a massive Powerplay Table overclock that can use up to 400W, i even used the silver backplate by zip tieing it to the PCB. The biggest problem as you said though is that it makes the card 3.5 slot, so I am having issues moving to an SFF case, so I've been thinking of building my own to fid the Morpheus because it's just so damn good.
Did you forget that you infact didn't install the aluminium heatsinks when you tested the Raijintek Morpheus II? Hence why you mention the higher temperatures.
I used to have accelero II for my 9600GT. Best damn purchase ever ! Totally passive, no noise and max 60C stressed. Those cooler used to be all the rage few years back. To think about it, maybe try doing KalmX like card slaping this or morpheus on 1050Ti or 1060 without fans.
I was thinking the same thing. It'd be interesting to see how much better the morpheus performs with the included heatsinks, they certainly seemed to do the trick with the Arctic cooler
FPSkillerPC liquid metal doesnt give that much better, compared to regular thermal paste. Also there is noise factor. I prefer higher temperatures at the benefit of dead silemt (500rpm) rather than a 1.500rpm just to cut down temperature further.
I recommend 1080ti owner or other cards to buy this ID COOLING FROSTFLOW 240 VGA. its an 240mm aio. I added LM and idle around 25 max around 50 with 1 push or pull setup not both
EVGA also launched 2,5 Slot Coolercards which are much more capable in cooling performance, for me the best coolers on the market (besides PCB or other features) considering performance and noise
Mate, you just solved every question I have for a Ncase build. Definitely earned a sub. I was wondering about having that cooler with 120mm fans as an exhaust and I stumbled across this video just looking for info on the Accelero.
That phone pad on the back side of the card is a deal breaker for me. If they would have included a thermal pad and added some grooves to the back mounting plate maybe I would buy it. You're just insulating the board at that point.
Cooled my GTX 560 with a Accelero II silent gold ! Cooled my R9 280X with a Accelero III for low temps and silence. If my ASUS STRIX 1080 will be loud it will get the same treatment. Those gpu coolers are GOD LIKE !!!
When will gpu manufacturers learn that fans blowing away from the card yields better results than towards the card. I've been saying thing ever since and your video is a perfect example.
Are you sure about this? I have to install a Morpheus but the comparison would be tedious. Blowing away would make more sense because of the way airflow works in my case but I've never heard of such a config.
It depends heavily on the case. With the Ncase M1 the case is so small that venting the GPU's heat into the case would cause massive temperature increases to every other component in the case, but likely would give the GPU better temps since it would be drawing fresh cool air from the bottom vent, rather than recycling the CPU's hot air. In the end, this is a bad trade as it doesnt matter how cool your gpu is if your cpu or your Mobo VRM's are throttling. This why people generally configure the gpu as exhaust in the ncase. In larger cases it would likely make little difference either way, but would require your entire airflow configuration to be reversed from what is normal, otherwise the rest of your fans will blow the GPU's hot air back up into it. Considering many case are specifically designed for front to back and bottom to top airflow, this could prove unfeasible in a lot of cases. Overall, setting your gpu fans as exhaust rather than intake is a highly situational decision, and the ncase M1 just happens to be one of those situations.
@@bioforce5 Well, I did the test comparing fans on the Morpheus in pull or push configuration: pull makes VRM temps go crazy while GPU temp is the same. I believe it's because the fan push the air in a straight direction while he draws the air from every direction.
I had the 2 fan version on my heavily modified GTX 970 (1600Mhz+) and it would never go above the 50's. This might be the next step for my 1080ti, as it's fan is annoying after about 66%.
You, and I look fairly similar; Regardless, I put an Arctic Accelero Hybrid III 120 on a 1080ti FE back when they first came out. I've been quite pleased w/ the cooler; The included 120mm fan(s) for the radiator are inadequate, however I put Corsair ML 120s's sandwiching the radiator, and stay under 60c overclocked to around 2050+Mhz on the core, 6000Mhz for Memory; Point being, I like Arctic;
Two questions: 1. Can you do all of this and then put back the EVGA cooler if you need to RMA the card without them denying the RMA? Or at least not noticing. 2. Can you try to do this exact same thing but with a Noctua nh-u14s or other Noctua CPU cooler to see what the temps are compared to this? Diy has done this but it's outdated and would be interesting to see if it's better than these aftermarket coolers. And lastly, thanks for the cool content.
The Accelero coolers have always been pretty rad in my book. They've cooled every single GPU I've slapped them on so efficiently it's not even funny. They're just so quiet and perform exceptionally well.
I'm thinking of getting this for my R9 380.It runs 55C when I'm not even playing a game and it would be nice to have a cooler like this since I can re use it.
In any solution where u have the space the morpheus is definitely better. At least in the case of the sc2 since you can use the stock vrm/memory heatplate and stock backplate.
I wish, there were a Morpheus "III" with the real 120mm x 240mm (Morpheus II ~90mm x 240mm) shaped cooler to make the most of the fans... And a even bigger one (Morpheus III+) with 140mm x 280mm for bigger fans - I mean if a 140mm Fan Towercooler fits in the Case...
Both this, and the Arctic Hybrid III 120 are a pain in the ass to install. This would have been worse though having to do all the vrms, ram, etc individually. Something I'd probably be comfortable doing now, however when I first put a Hybrid III 120 on the 1080ti... it was rather nerve racking, and know much less about the individual components, I might have had a heart attack.
Really great video , you are a person focusing on the thermals and looking , which i can say that's what real enthusiasts is looking for , appreciating all the time that you invested , but here what i would like see ... The real game changer is to go with liquid gpu cooler or keep sticking with air cooling solutions ?? That's what i hope to see from your next video
Prolimatech Mk-26 with some Thermalright TY-143 fans, would like to see how it fairs against the Morpheus, as I have some spare TY-143 fans sitting around, and am using a Morpheus on my 1080ti atm (with Noiseblocker PL-PS fans), I tried, unsuccessfully, to mount the ty-143's to the Morpheus, only a MK-26 would be able to fit 140mm fans.
Shouldve just screwed off the front IO plate thing and then reattached it after the card is inside the case. Had to do that when cramming my gpu into my SFF
Watercooling will always be better than Air cooling on that scale. What you have to consider is the cost of an AiO and these come in various price ranges. For a comparable result, you will be looking at some cheap china AiO.
On the Morpheus you have installed the heatsinks? At the end the Accelero should be a reasonable choice....despite being more tricky to install, it's cheap and need less space into the case. Nice comparison! Good work!!!!!!
i put this on my 1080ti FE but I feel like I have very little to no control over fan speed. Not sure why - it's not really a problem to me as it still stays pretty cool but I worry if I resell it a prospective buyer might complain
A job well done man but I'd love it more if you tried it in a bigger case with other fans working with it, we might see lower temps. On a second thought though it may be already obvious haha. I can only imagine what happens when Accelero would have a revision or when the Morpheus would have a 3rd fan slot.
The Morpheus is a lot better and lose only to a water cooler mounted with the Kraken G12. You can place any 120mm fan there and use a high static pressure fan and have go for an aftermarket costumized gpu bracket to hide the fans and heatsink like the RGB ones in Aliexpress. I only wish I found a Morpheus Core II shipping to Brazil
Some suggestions to anyone going this route... 1. DO NOT USE THE THERMAL PASTE THAT THIS COOLER COMES WITH. You will very easily destroy memory chips and VRM solder points if you try and remove the heatsinks down the line. Use something else. 2. Buy the Raijentek Morpheus II over this and get some Noctua A15-12's if you want to fit it in the Ncase M1. 3. I have had both the AA3 and the Morpheus 2 and there was no noticeable thermal difference really. However the Raijentek is light years above the AA3 in performance and especially build quality. If you're aim is to improve your GPU cooling, spend a few extra bucks and get the Raijentek and some Noctua 15mm fans. Hope this helps.
Your videos are great, but the lack of a test bench is really annoying. They aren't expensive and I would hate to see a perfectly good 1080ti ruined because it wasnt supported properly
Great Video! I always was interested in how the Accelero X III performs against the Morpheus II I own a Arctic Accelero Xtreme IV 280x Edition since 4 years. It has a special cold plate to best fit AMDs GPU from HD 7000 up to RX580 die's. But also works with smaller Geforce chips. It is currently mounted on a Zotac GTX 970 to replace the broken fans. And it works pretty well! The 970 is oc'ed by 175 MHz, power target is on max and the card reaches only 51°C in Final Fantasy 15. The Accelero Xtreme III and IV are my favorite GPU coolers. It blows everything out of the water in cooling and is basically noiseless and 100% silent in a insulated case. I love this Cooler :-D also for its pure and functional design. Nothing is so beautiful as a giant heatsink ;-) But you are right, the fan shroud looks pretty out dated. PS: TDP - Arctic is very conservative and carefully by stating the max TDP. If they say the Cooler has 300 Watts of cooling potential it has probably 350 Watts. Its a number you can rely on it!
Didn't you use the stock plate for the vrm and memory with the raijintek?? So why would you even compare those temps with each other. It would've mattered if you used the included heatsinks for the memory and vrms that the Morpheus has.
I was super excited to see this video after your instagram post and I wasn't disappointed; I might do this mod (that's if I can get my hands on a GPU for a reasonable price... lol) The pages of your notebook were literally about to be turned by the airflow of the fans!!!
Can't wait for the Dan case 4 and/or the louqe ghost to come out this year but that's not gonna happen until probably q3 or 4 but I'm excited. Your channel has made me want to make a sff PC with custom cables and maybe even a custom loop with some of the best components you can get so thank you for that also love the camera work you do
Wondering how this would perform with the Zotac GTX 1080 Mini. Or whether it would even fit with the different PCB Layout. Considering buying the nCase M1, but concerned about thermals coming from an NZXT H200i. Great review!!
Holy Cow Ali! I thought you started off where I see your modern videos. ;) And dude you did a great job on this video as well. I know you’ll keep developing as a video producer.
As I was watching you put the thermal adhesive on the PCB components and the adhesives on the cold plate, I was thinking, "Wow, after all of this, I hope he keeps it as-is." I also felt a little sorry for the 1080Ti with the number of times it's been disassembled. Serious question though: Have you noticed any changes with the CPU temps after flipping the fans down below? Also, do you expect to be able to keep this cooler setup when you swap to the Dan C4 (eventually)?
Man, this cooler is hella tempting. I'm only rocking a 1070 but I currently have iPPC NF-F12's blowing a dick tonne of air into my Ncase and my GPU is the loudest component in my build. If I could knock that out entirely I'd be over the moon. Side question: Do you have a Twitter or Facebook page? You've inspired a few mods to my Ncase and I'd love to share them.
The accelero looks like 3 stock intel cpu coolers put together
Haha nailed it!
so if I bought 3 intel stock coolers glued them together I might have the same performance?
But performs like 3 Wraith Spires glued together
the graphics department obviously went home when this card was being developed
Arctics Coolers always end up looking like that smh
Just for anybody's interest watching the video late:
I have the same NCase setup and benchmarked the Asus STrix 1080ti cooler with the 120mm Vardar fans like Optimum did. The temps after 20 mins of Heaven 4 didn't climb higher than 70°C and at 1500 rpm fan speed.
OT achieved 60°C max at the same RPM, note though that he had the temps corrected to a 20°C ambient, while in my summery hot flat were around 27°C while the test ran.
That in mind, OT got about 3-4° less on the Accelero.
Anyone planning on doing a cooler swap or getting a new 1080ti note that the cooler on the Strix is outstanding in performance and almost manages to get the same temps than this very good aftermarket product!
I would love to see a g12 comparison. price to performance is amazing for the accelero.
I just installer g12 with a old corsair h105. Asus strix 1080ti oc. Idle 24, max load 42. Totally silent.
Nikolaj Nielsen ur max is nice. mine is 50ish using LM. But 240mm idcooling instead of nzxt
Under loading 42 ?
same here, running 30 degrees cooler on my rig with GTX 1080 then the stock cooler, and is pretty much silent. never throttles anymore since i have this cooler, it's perfect.
With RDR2 on high settings it ran 82 degrees celsius and throttling back 250mhz to keep it at 82 degrees (fan speed 100%), with the Arctic Accellero Extreme it runs 50 degrees celsius and never clocks back at high-ultra settings (fan speed 50%). It's a beast, and it is silent. I use the back plate cooler, its much better, the fans blow on the chips and the pcb is cooled from the back, and it works perfectly.
i have the artic accelero 3 on my founders edition 980 ti and it works well. Its a pain in the artic ass to assemble. The instructions are bad,but my temps with a aggressive over clock never went above 62c. with the fans all the way up u cant hear them. good cooler tho.
I don't think it's fair to say that the VRM temps are significantly better on the Accelero since you left the stock EVGA heat sinks on there for the Morpheus cooler. Whether or not it would have made a difference, I'm not sure, but you compared the heat sink of the Morpheus, not the included pads/heat sinks.
Great video though. It's given me something to think about.
Edited wording.
P. S. This is still a wonderful video and the VRMs are perfectly fine on each card with both after market coolers. We appreciate you investing the time into the testing and comparisons. :)
Very fair, completely overlooked.
My apologies!
You beat me to it!
Optimum Tech Yeah, the moment you started comparing the vrm temps I could feel the little gremlin inside me reaching for the comments section, nice to see you recognise the problem
P.S. you should probably like/pin this comment so other people will see it after watching your video
Even in that config it was a couple degrees diff. For a few ° I would never void warranty by gluing heatsinks on. So easy to go back to stock if issues arise with the morpheus and stock vrm/vram plate.
Now you need to do another comparison!!
I have tried Accelero IV and NZXT G12 on my Gigabyte Windforce 1080, i paired the G12 with an old H55 from Corsair.
NZXT G12, H55 Corsair AIO, IPPC Industrial 3000rpm Noctua 120mm Fan (25 idle, 45 gaming)
Easy to install, check AIO cooler compatibility, look for old Corsair or Thermaltake. in the downside you need 3 Fan headers for GPU G12 Fan, Pump and Radiator Fan. You need a fan splitter/hub and a pwm "mini" (conector of the GPU) cable to pwm to control all those fans from GPU software or you can connect them to all the Motherboard fan headers, also to find a place to place the GPU radiator in your case.
Pros:
Best cooling performance (25 idle, 45 gaming)
You can choose 120mm, 140mm, 240mm, 280mm or even 360mm radiators (check compatibility in NZXT website)
you can choose any fan
Price is lower than an Artic Accelero considering and old 120mm radiator
Cons:
You will need PWM fan connector and a splitter/hub to control all your GPU fans from a single software
Space needed for the radiator
Lots of cables to manage
Noctua industrial fan was very noisy, even at 1500rpm
Artic Accelero Xtreme IV (28 idle, 55 gaming)
I returned and i bought an Accelero IV, it looks cheap but hell the performance for an air cooled. Installation is somewhat complicated if you never done something similar before, also you need to test fit because instructions says that you need some washers but the GPU wasn´t making full contact with the heatsink. Also the backplate/heatsink is so heavy and bulky that may interfere with ram slots, making the GPU to sag, so be careful. The 3 fans come powered by a single "mini" pwm connector that you can plug it directly to your GPU and control them with any GPU software you use.
Pros:
Less cables
Full fan control without needing additional hardware
Performance similar to AIo cooling
Very quiet fans
Cons:
Overall weight of you GPU
Can cause your GPU to sag
Heatsink and fans occupy 4 PCIE slots
Backplate can interfere with your RAM sticks
The reasons i choose Artic Accelero Xtreme IV:
My need to clean my system often, so to take the GPU out it's only 2 thumb screws and PCIE lock with the G12 it was more work and more cleaning. The Artic fans can be detached without any screw, so you can clean them or even mod it.
The other reason was to switch to an mini itx (Cougar QBX) case without sacrificing performance.
The last one is a cleaner build for me, as the only “visible” cables are CPU, MOBO and GPU cables.
We need a new proper cooler from Arctic. Make a new S3 made for 2x 140mm fans. Some solid VRM and RAM cooling to boot and we're ready to go. No more gigantic metal for the backside though, it rarely fits.
Arctic, make it baige-brown, so it fits my Noctua on the cpu ;p
I realize this is an older video, but this is fantastic. This shows the potential of an air cooled ITX enclosure. I would love to see a build like this in the TU150 with D15 on an i9 and 2080ti with exotic aftermarket air cooling.
I have always bad memories with the Arctic brand...
I ordered a Morpheus II for my quiet build, i have the place for it...
But man... That Accelero III with the Ncase looks so cool... so industrial... so minimal... i love it!
The ability to use the EVGA midplate to cool the VRM and VRAM is a huge advantage for the Morpheus, as the Accelero heatsinks are a major pain to deal with.
I think the reason it was hot on push is because fans lose a lot of airflow being right up against the grille like on the bottom of the M1 and also negative case pressure generally works better for temps.
best accelero vid that shows how to put spacers on. all the other vids skip things or do them wrong.
You trying to fit that into a mini case has nothing to do with the product.
It is the single most iconic GPU cooler of all time, I’m still impressed by how well it performs after all these years despite its somewhat thin design.
Had that one on my GTX280 and 780. On the 280 i couldnt fit the vrm cooling fins that came with the heatsink back then, so i had to saw some pieces out of the stock cooler and fiddle them to the card. worked amazingly well and that card still works today. i put a very silent fan and OC profile right into the cards bios and never had to touch that setup again.
on the gtx 780, i changed to watercooling after a while, but only to put the card in a smaller case. temps didnt really change that much. great cooler.
Most of the air a fan moves comes from the tips of the blades, those 120mm fans were probably too wide for the fin stack of the heatsink as most of the air would be pushed around to sides rather than through the fins in the push configuration.
Why not use good thermal paste like Arctic MX4?
Can we get an RTX 3000 version?
Morphy looks so much better. Yes you have to buy fans but in the end card going to look like high-end product. Accelero really look cheap and they should really improve quality of that plastic.
Best cooler is accelero xtreme (3xfans),since I have this, my cards almost never go beyond 50 ° in full, completely cool the gpu and also pcb over the entire length. The 3 fans are ultra quiet, even at max speed. Purchased 8 years ago (already) for a 560ti evga, version accelero xtreme plus 2, I managed to adapt it on my 970 FTW with a slight offset, but now fits perfectly on my new 1060 evga SCC without any problem , and still as efficient, very low temp, lower than any watercooler system I have ever seen. Example Tekken 7 between 30 ° and 45 ° max in full ultra(fans at middle speed), ditto Project Cars 2, and all recent games ...8 years that it works like a charm, like what, look like does not reflect the quality(tested & approved).
KrekerisT Then they'd have to charge more and you'd start complaining about the price.
TwizZtin If i dont know what the watercooling is better for 1060 i should know about watercooling...Are you sure?,i telling about performance/price in this case AX Plus2 is much better than all you mention (compare to the price...),what the interest to buy watercooling?,i haven't 4K screen,but all the world need have it,because you have it,all the world fooling the money through the windows?,sorry but that you mention,coast how?(not a secret money buy all,you too),prove it funny commentator,have the monster machine,and what do you do with?,than to make stupid comments, remonstrances for those who ignore the subject of conversation.
Who's the best ?, watercooling ?, how watercooling is, what's the best ?, who is the best ?, money for sure, but not here. I can OC my GPU to the best with low temp, 55 ° max, and without OC 40-45 ° in latest games, but it's enough for what I have to do?, Oh yes as long as I hold you, you say hold material that I doubt that you have oddly, something tells me that a furious OC is not very good in computing and that he spends his time playing video games, otherwise the OC is useless . So let's get back to it, Accelero Xtreme 2 (i've buying this 60 $ 4 years ago), now tell me how much money do you have in your ventilation system, and in what configuration do you need it? Before I say that I do not know anything about it, make sure you know what I'm talking about.
By the way, who thinks you know I do not know watercooling, what do you know about accelero xtreme, have you tested it ?, it works both ways.
TwizZtiN Who does not need this index? it is always a parameter not to neglect on all the tests,if you do not agree it's the same,not matter.
You think the navel of the world with your hardware, and how I should update myself, I have an i7, a good motherboard, a very good graphics card, the best of 1060 can eat a 1070. This is not enough to date according to you ?, and if you do not like that I kept this device AE extreme plus 2, they made 3 graphics cards, proves that they last a long time without failing. Already an indicator that you try to choke because your claim pushes to denigrate this device to AIR, which is the center of the subject I remind you?, Not YOU!
And yes I bought it about 8 years ago, and reinstalled on another card and on my last one had to readapt (since I was not going to buy an accelero xtreme plus 3 while the "plus 2" are the same except the serifs to fix them).
And then I'm not calculating the years of purchase, I do not care royally, it remains purely indicative, the rest of my temperatures, if I changed it is obviously OC extreme, poor troll.
You're despicable of pretension but what you say about your material and your temperatures are not able to prove it, that I can.
The ideal is that my temperatures correspond to my use, ie average game graphically, I turn 40 °, a greedy game will take 50 ° but rarely beyond, it must tell you how?
"It's not my fault you can't afford better hardware."
But I do not want to spend more for what 5 ° better, and what for ?, just for fun?, to say shit in the comments, just to say that I found better for 10x more expensive ??? That's what your thinking is, what you find funny in fact, is your lie that you carry since the 1st of your post. Who does not know anything about this AIR device, if you have not tested it then, SHUT UP! You do not interest anyone in this thread.
"Do not get salty and stop talking bullshit."
Stop it now,you dont tell me like that ok,vindicative kid.
"Seems you really do not know what you're talking about"
Well which talk accelerated xtreme and shut up definitively,you don't know what you talking about.
1:04 - not to mention the TIME it will take to acquire the fans and install them. Not a big deal for a "techie" (probably have them on hand) but could mean an odyssey of confusion and frustration for a noob like myself.
I just built a Fractal R6 with Noctua 15D CPU and Morpheus II cooler using a single Noctua 12-15 slimline fan with low noise adapter positioned in the center of the heatsink and have gotten great results with it. Fortunately I have room to spare in this case. This combination is super quiet using the R6's fan hub to drive the case fans off the CPU connector and with the low noise adapters on both of the D15 fans.
The Accelero III looks more complete, however the plastic shims looked a bit cheesy. I liked the all metal attachment on the Morpheus better, but the Morpheus II solution does look more bolted up than like a finished product and is definitely bulkier.
I'm just happy that I can get this quality of cooling without messing with water cooling and I'm glad there are solid options for air cooling GPU's.
The difference in VRAM and VRAM temps when comparing this to the morpheus likely might have been due to using the stock fins/heatpipes on that EVGA 1080ti rather than installing the individual heatsinks for all the components that also come with the Morpheus.
using this cooler on my 980ti for more than a year! Dropped my load temps arround 15c and noise level way down. It isn't great looking but perf>look
Hey i like to buy it this cooler to my 980ti G1 gigabyte card so what are the max temps under load & gaming.
Something really weird about the Accelero III or the older one too. Saw many videos about them and they perform amazingly well all the time!! The weird part about them is how the fuck these thin heatsink achieve these amazing temperature while other companies with huge heatsinks and a very big card like the zotac amp extreme coudn't????! the Accelero is doing something really magical for an air cooled card.
You are actually on to something there. Why the f*** doesn't the HUGE cooler on the Zotac AMP Extreme not perform just as well as the Accelero III? I mean, the sizes are very comparible, and if you compare the price of that Zotac card, you realize that A LOT of money are spend on that cooler. Ofc, you get RGB as well, but that doesn't justify those poor temps...
On those heatsinks, they're not just cooling the GPU. There's also memory and vrms, and depending on how the vrm is built it can be really, really hot.
Gamers Nexus did a video on this late last year and would answer your question better than me butchering it trying to help lol
DaftPunk67 already saw it before. That’s why I mentioned Zotac because bigger doesn’t always mean better cooling.
More fins, more heatpipes. This cost a lot and the manufacturer wants to lower the costs. They put big useless pieces of crap who are worth nothing compared to an aftermarket cooler who you pay 50$ or more.
Info for anyone thinking about it:
My blower-cooler GTX 1080 ran 83deg with thermal throttling before, and loud fan noise.
Now 60deg full load, pretty quiet.
I actually prefer the look of this cooler over the stock one
Been rocking this cooler in my M1 build for a while now. If you're trying to make your build quieter by lowering your rpm while keeping solid Temps, I definitely recommend doing this.
Just make sure you know the limitations of your gpu warranty.
Well said. I'm very late to the party on this one.
Still blown away by the performance on it.
How do you control fan speed? Can you adapt the speed depending on GPU temp through the motherboard?
I have the Morpheus with 2x EK Vardar 3000RPM fans on an Auros GTX1080ti and easily the best cooling option for the VRM and memory is naked with airflow. Unless you shunt mod the card (which you wouldn't do on air anyway) the VRM stack on even a reference card isn't getting hot enough you need to do more than 2x120mm of airflow right above it. Drop a 120mm fan on a naked motherboard VRM and it will better than stock with a heatsink.
I have the Arctic cooler Back in the days to cool my GTX 280 😆
Please stop using that rubbish Thermal Paste from Deep Cool.
At least use the Noctua NT H1 as a minimum.
Got a build from a friend that used that, after I gave him some the improvement is significantly high.
For the GPU an improvement of
10 Degrees C.
For CPU around 7 Degrees C.
Use NT H1 or Gelid as a standard.
This! Kryonaut or Gelid are good alternatives.
I was able to get my Accelero fans to 2170 rpm. I only have the twin fans instead of the triple fan layout. However, my GTX 970 SC Hits a max of 55c on full load with an overclock and overvoltage. Before, I had the EVGA ACX2.0 stock cooler and hit a wopping 70c on full load without overclocks. I can't wait to see if there's going to be a bigger difference when I upgrade my case for better airflow.
VRM temps aren't really a fair comparison considering the morpheus only had the default EVGA base plate which is designed to contact the heatsink above for heat dissipation. On another note, just found your channel and am enjoying your videos!
Morpheus II... I just used it to my Zotac 1080ti Mini... Idle = 26c... Gaming =32c... Mining = 45c
lol
glad i bought the morpheus II. I was looking at this cooler. I already have two noctua 2000rpm fans though.
I'm considering custom loop.
I've had a couple of Accelero III coolers and I wasn't very impressed. One on an R9 290x and the other I tested on a GTX 1080. I got much better cooling on the 290x by just removing the card's stock fans an strapping on a couple Corsair SP 120 fans over the heat-sink than I ever did with the Accelero III. Yeah, it didn't look pretty, but it was a hell of a lot quieter and cooled much better.
I've been running as Morpheus II on my Vega64 since 2017 and I gotta say, I'm really happy with the results.
Using good paste (Kryonaut) and two Noctua NF-A14 fans the GPU never exceeds 60C even with a massive Powerplay Table overclock that can use up to 400W, i even used the silver backplate by zip tieing it to the PCB.
The biggest problem as you said though is that it makes the card 3.5 slot, so I am having issues moving to an SFF case, so I've been thinking of building my own to fid the Morpheus because it's just so damn good.
Did you forget that you infact didn't install the aluminium heatsinks when you tested the Raijintek Morpheus II? Hence why you mention the higher temperatures.
I used to have accelero II for my 9600GT. Best damn purchase ever ! Totally passive, no noise and max 60C stressed. Those cooler used to be all the rage few years back. To think about it, maybe try doing KalmX like card slaping this or morpheus on 1050Ti or 1060 without fans.
You're aaalmost looking straight up at the roof. That's how cool that looks.
I think you needed to retest the Morpheus with its additional heatsinks to make the comparison with the Accelero meaningful and fair.
I was thinking the same thing. It'd be interesting to see how much better the morpheus performs with the included heatsinks, they certainly seemed to do the trick with the Arctic cooler
Running the Accelero IV on my GTX 1080 FTW2. Have liquid metal on the GPU and it sits right about 45C when fully overclocked :)
FPSkillerPC liquid metal doesnt give that much better, compared to regular thermal paste. Also there is noise factor. I prefer higher temperatures at the benefit of dead silemt (500rpm) rather than a 1.500rpm just to cut down temperature further.
Webdigo the temperature difference between noctua nt-h1 and thermal grizzly liquid metal seems to be about 5-6C for me. That's substantial enough
What noise factor are you talking about? These are both silent coolers.
FPSkillerPC you beat me to all these videos
Haha oh well.
I have the Arctic Accelero S3 installed on my GT 430, I have no fans inside my Define R5, but even while light gaming the GPU does not exceed 70°C
I put an Arctic Accelero III on my EVGA GTX 1070 SC. My temps went down about 15 degrees and its so damn quiet compared to EVGA's cooler.
I recommend 1080ti owner or other cards to buy this ID COOLING FROSTFLOW 240 VGA. its an 240mm aio. I added LM and idle around 25 max around 50 with 1 push or pull setup not both
EVGA also launched 2,5 Slot Coolercards which are much more capable in cooling performance, for me the best coolers on the market (besides PCB or other features) considering performance and noise
just ordered this for my 1080ti Hybrid that had its pump start dying, excited to see reasonable temps again lol thanks for the vid
Mate, you just solved every question I have for a Ncase build. Definitely earned a sub. I was wondering about having that cooler with 120mm fans as an exhaust and I stumbled across this video just looking for info on the Accelero.
Had the previous version of the Accelero on a 780 GTX, it was awesome.
Steve Boyd my stock gtx285 finally ran quiet and cool 🤣😂
Very neat. I see that glass side panel paying off with a sweet looking build. I agree, finally looks perfect. Great job.
That phone pad on the back side of the card is a deal breaker for me. If they would have included a thermal pad and added some grooves to the back mounting plate maybe I would buy it. You're just insulating the board at that point.
Cooled my GTX 560 with a Accelero II silent gold ! Cooled my R9 280X with a Accelero III for low temps and silence. If my ASUS STRIX 1080 will be loud it will get the same treatment. Those gpu coolers are GOD LIKE !!!
I would bet that the Rajintek with the included vram heatsinks (instead of the stock evga cooling) would be tied with the accelero
When will gpu manufacturers learn that fans blowing away from the card yields better results than towards the card. I've been saying thing ever since and your video is a perfect example.
Are you sure about this? I have to install a Morpheus but the comparison would be tedious. Blowing away would make more sense because of the way airflow works in my case but I've never heard of such a config.
It depends heavily on the case. With the Ncase M1 the case is so small that venting the GPU's heat into the case would cause massive temperature increases to every other component in the case, but likely would give the GPU better temps since it would be drawing fresh cool air from the bottom vent, rather than recycling the CPU's hot air. In the end, this is a bad trade as it doesnt matter how cool your gpu is if your cpu or your Mobo VRM's are throttling. This why people generally configure the gpu as exhaust in the ncase. In larger cases it would likely make little difference either way, but would require your entire airflow configuration to be reversed from what is normal, otherwise the rest of your fans will blow the GPU's hot air back up into it. Considering many case are specifically designed for front to back and bottom to top airflow, this could prove unfeasible in a lot of cases. Overall, setting your gpu fans as exhaust rather than intake is a highly situational decision, and the ncase M1 just happens to be one of those situations.
@@bioforce5 Well, I did the test comparing fans on the Morpheus in pull or push configuration: pull makes VRM temps go crazy while GPU temp is the same. I believe it's because the fan push the air in a straight direction while he draws the air from every direction.
I had the 2 fan version on my heavily modified GTX 970 (1600Mhz+) and it would never go above the 50's. This might be the next step for my 1080ti, as it's fan is annoying after about 66%.
Maybe the stock SC VRM cooler skewed the test results of vrm temps? Shoulda used the included heatsinks as well!
Have used 2 of these in builds and all I can sayis its an awesome performer. Loved its silent operation. Nice video.
Now the only one you need to test is the Prolimatech MK26, which some say is better than the Accelero.
You, and I look fairly similar; Regardless, I put an Arctic Accelero Hybrid III 120 on a 1080ti FE back when they first came out. I've been quite pleased w/ the cooler; The included 120mm fan(s) for the radiator are inadequate, however I put Corsair ML 120s's sandwiching the radiator, and stay under 60c overclocked to around 2050+Mhz on the core, 6000Mhz for Memory; Point being, I like Arctic;
Next video should be about replacing the CPU stock heat sink with a custom copper for better heat contact with your air cooler
Had one on an r9 290 and it was awesome.
temps? and which brand 290?
Chris T It was a few years ago, but low 60s from memory. It was a reference Powercolor card.
Two questions: 1. Can you do all of this and then put back the EVGA cooler if you need to RMA the card without them denying the RMA? Or at least not noticing.
2. Can you try to do this exact same thing but with a Noctua nh-u14s or other Noctua CPU cooler to see what the temps are compared to this? Diy has done this but it's outdated and would be interesting to see if it's better than these aftermarket coolers. And lastly, thanks for the cool content.
The Accelero coolers have always been pretty rad in my book.
They've cooled every single GPU I've slapped them on so efficiently it's not even funny.
They're just so quiet and perform exceptionally well.
I appreciate the no nonsense look of the Arctic... But I'm not sure id it would fit in my current use case 😢
I'm thinking of getting this for my R9 380.It runs 55C when I'm not even playing a game and it would be nice to have a cooler like this since I can re use it.
In any solution where u have the space the morpheus is definitely better. At least in the case of the sc2 since you can use the stock vrm/memory heatplate and stock backplate.
I wish, there were a Morpheus "III" with the real 120mm x 240mm (Morpheus II ~90mm x 240mm) shaped cooler to make the most of the fans...
And a even bigger one (Morpheus III+) with 140mm x 280mm for bigger fans - I mean if a 140mm Fan Towercooler fits in the Case...
Both this, and the Arctic Hybrid III 120 are a pain in the ass to install. This would have been worse though having to do all the vrms, ram, etc individually. Something I'd probably be comfortable doing now, however when I first put a Hybrid III 120 on the 1080ti... it was rather nerve racking, and know much less about the individual components, I might have had a heart attack.
Really great video , you are a person focusing on the thermals and looking , which i can say that's what real enthusiasts is looking for , appreciating all the time that you invested , but here what i would like see ... The real game changer is to go with liquid gpu cooler or keep sticking with air cooling solutions ?? That's what i hope to see from your next video
Prolimatech Mk-26 with some Thermalright TY-143 fans, would like to see how it fairs against the Morpheus, as I have some spare TY-143 fans sitting around, and am using a Morpheus on my 1080ti atm (with Noiseblocker PL-PS fans), I tried, unsuccessfully, to mount the ty-143's to the Morpheus, only a MK-26 would be able to fit 140mm fans.
I'm a pretty big arctic mark but I think imma try to stick a noctua cooler to my RTX 2070
Once those little aluminium heatsinks get stuck on; they are never coming off are they?
Shouldve just screwed off the front IO plate thing and then reattached it after the card is inside the case. Had to do that when cramming my gpu into my SFF
Normally i wouldnt like the look of that cooler but it does look reelly good in your case with the rest of ur build, great video.
Would love to see a comparison with the NZXT Kraken G12.
Watercooling will always be better than Air cooling on that scale. What you have to consider is the cost of an AiO and these come in various price ranges. For a comparable result, you will be looking at some cheap china AiO.
I have been thinking of getting 2 of these for my sli 1080 tis.
On the Morpheus you have installed the heatsinks?
At the end the Accelero should be a reasonable choice....despite being more tricky to install, it's cheap and need less space into the case.
Nice comparison! Good work!!!!!!
i put this on my 1080ti FE but I feel like I have very little to no control over fan speed. Not sure why - it's not really a problem to me as it still stays pretty cool but I worry if I resell it a prospective buyer might complain
A job well done man but I'd love it more if you tried it in a bigger case with other fans working with it, we might see lower temps. On a second thought though it may be already obvious haha.
I can only imagine what happens when Accelero would have a revision or when the Morpheus would have a 3rd fan slot.
without this video i would not be able to mount this cooler correctly.
thank you dude you are the man!!
The Morpheus is a lot better and lose only to a water cooler mounted with the Kraken G12. You can place any 120mm fan there and use a high static pressure fan and have go for an aftermarket costumized gpu bracket to hide the fans and heatsink like the RGB ones in Aliexpress. I only wish I found a Morpheus Core II shipping to Brazil
Some suggestions to anyone going this route...
1. DO NOT USE THE THERMAL PASTE THAT THIS COOLER COMES WITH. You will very easily destroy memory chips and VRM solder points if you try and remove the heatsinks down the line. Use something else.
2. Buy the Raijentek Morpheus II over this and get some Noctua A15-12's if you want to fit it in the Ncase M1.
3. I have had both the AA3 and the Morpheus 2 and there was no noticeable thermal difference really. However the Raijentek is light years above the AA3 in performance and especially build quality. If you're aim is to improve your GPU cooling, spend a few extra bucks and get the Raijentek and some Noctua 15mm fans.
Hope this helps.
GrayFox370 u have ncase m1
edward entwistle Yes I do
You say there's no noticeable thermal difference but then you say the Morpheus 2 is light years above the AA3 in performance?? How is that possible?
Your videos are great, but the lack of a test bench is really annoying. They aren't expensive and I would hate to see a perfectly good 1080ti ruined because it wasnt supported properly
Great Video! I always was interested in how the Accelero X III performs against the Morpheus II
I own a Arctic Accelero Xtreme IV 280x Edition since 4 years. It has a special cold plate to best fit AMDs GPU from HD 7000 up to RX580 die's. But also works with smaller Geforce chips. It is currently mounted on a Zotac GTX 970 to replace the broken fans. And it works pretty well! The 970 is oc'ed by 175 MHz, power target is on max and the card reaches only 51°C in Final Fantasy 15.
The Accelero Xtreme III and IV are my favorite GPU coolers. It blows everything out of the water in cooling and is basically noiseless and 100% silent in a insulated case.
I love this Cooler :-D also for its pure and functional design. Nothing is so beautiful as a giant heatsink ;-) But you are right, the fan shroud looks pretty out dated.
PS: TDP - Arctic is very conservative and carefully by stating the max TDP. If they say the Cooler has 300 Watts of cooling potential it has probably 350 Watts. Its a number you can rely on it!
hello nice temps what about at full load FurMark and heaven 4.0 ultra presets max temps
Didn't you use the stock plate for the vrm and memory with the raijintek?? So why would you even compare those temps with each other. It would've mattered if you used the included heatsinks for the memory and vrms that the Morpheus has.
I was super excited to see this video after your instagram post and I wasn't disappointed; I might do this mod (that's if I can get my hands on a GPU for a reasonable price... lol) The pages of your notebook were literally about to be turned by the airflow of the fans!!!
At 5:35 you installed the foam pad and mounting bracket, but at 7:50 its no longer there. Can you explain what you did? Thanks!
I'm assuming he removed the back mount so that he could mount the backplate. He tried the same on the other cooler but it didn't work.
I would love to see the accelero compared with the morpheus using slim fans (which do fit in the m1)
I actually like the look of this cooler. I have a gigabyte 1080 thats very noisy and not that cool under load so i might consider this.
Can't wait for the Dan case 4 and/or the louqe ghost to come out this year but that's not gonna happen until probably q3 or 4 but I'm excited. Your channel has made me want to make a sff PC with custom cables and maybe even a custom loop with some of the best components you can get so thank you for that also love the camera work you do
im using this, just 60 degree on furmark stress test 10 minutes, stock would be around 80+
I still love the industrial look.
I wondered how much dustit was eating.
This is actually the only time I would go for an aircooled graphics card...
Awesome comparison video. The accelero seems more appealing to me now since the fans are included with it.
Keep up the awesome content
Try Accelero IV extreme. It's best aircooler for GPU on the market
Dude you deserve so many more subs!! The effort you put into videos is awesome
Wondering how this would perform with the Zotac GTX 1080 Mini. Or whether it would even fit with the different PCB Layout. Considering buying the nCase M1, but concerned about thermals coming from an NZXT H200i.
Great review!!
Holy Cow Ali! I thought you started off where I see your modern videos. ;) And dude you did a great job on this video as well. I know you’ll keep developing as a video producer.
Very good vid man! You deserve alot more subscribers. I will share the video with my computer geeks out there :)
As I was watching you put the thermal adhesive on the PCB components and the adhesives on the cold plate, I was thinking, "Wow, after all of this, I hope he keeps it as-is." I also felt a little sorry for the 1080Ti with the number of times it's been disassembled. Serious question though: Have you noticed any changes with the CPU temps after flipping the fans down below? Also, do you expect to be able to keep this cooler setup when you swap to the Dan C4 (eventually)?
Man, this cooler is hella tempting. I'm only rocking a 1070 but I currently have iPPC NF-F12's blowing a dick tonne of air into my Ncase and my GPU is the loudest component in my build. If I could knock that out entirely I'd be over the moon.
Side question: Do you have a Twitter or Facebook page? You've inspired a few mods to my Ncase and I'd love to share them.
