If you're planning to use the NZXT Kraken, I *REALLY* recommend you to buy also some VRM heatsinks. The Kraken only cools the GPU and totally forgets the VRM chips. You have been warned.
@Ben Melowsky Motherboard has nothing to do with the GPU, tldr the RAM modules (VRAM) and any voltage regulators/inductors that the stock heatspreader of the stock heatsink touches have to have equivlent thermal mass/cooling or better when switching to this "hybrid" water cooling.
bro what is ggod cooler for rx 580?btw i would like to up my gpu in few months maybe i could save some money by buying cooler for my curent gpu n my next gpu
Hi! Can you shed some light on how to watercool an Asrock Challenger RX5700XT? Wannt mod it in order to really lower temps.
True. A big warning.
Recommend some good VRM heatsinks for 3000 series nvidia
I'm going to water cool my GT 210
CPU at 16° C while at 95% usage
I'm gonna water cool my Voodoo II
I'm gonna watercool my case front panel
Don't follow these steps. They're too expensive but ineffective for your card. Just drop the entire pc into the bucket and there you go. You can add fans to the surface to cool the water at faster pace.
@@hoodiegamer9256 nah dude, I once overclock Ed my 710, it was a +400mhz overclock and the temp was always above 100 degrees!!!! Luckily I could afford an rx 570, so now I don't need such an overclock😅
If you pay attention at the minimum fps, you'll notice the overclock was not even stable.
Agreed :p
When he said he was able to jump to 1500 MHz with less than 1,2v i was astonished and then I saw this haha
Min fps are often more bound to CPU than GPU.
+Joseph Redaud my EVGA 980Ti with a Morpheus does 1500 below 1.2v...the Classifieds for example reach their maximum clocks at 1.16v. Maxwell does not linearly scale with voltage, past 1.2v you can often get negative scaling due to the chip's internal heat.
+TheHavocInferno "often"
+Martín Varela yes. Often. Which would also tell you that scaling in general is poor above 1.2v for Maxwell. Really the only cases where more than 1.2v will slightly improve OC is with heavy custom watercooling, which the fewest users have.
The words “GTX” and “980ti” bring me nostalgia beyond words.
that was NOT a a small amount of grease :s
+KingStivan watch it short
Noah Campbell grease thermal
+KingStivan GPU's need more thermal paste than CPU's because they don't have a heat spreader.
+Threepoint Onefour This is correct, I made that mistake when installing my Arctic Accelero IV cooler on my 980ti. Not enough paste = higher temps.
You put more on GPU's
See that row of 6+2 components at min 1:28 right next to his thumb? those are voltage regulators that convert the 12v supplied to the card to 1.1, 1.8, 3.3V and so on depending on what each particular GPU uses for voltage. These components get very hot as well during operation, it's not just the processor itself. If the heatsink is removed then these regulators have no way to cool down and of course that means they wear off much faster. So I would not spend any money on this system.
Make no mistake, do not apply Thermal Paste like you normally would to CPUs, like the pea drop method. That is not adequate for GPUs at all!
The Entire surface of the GPU DIE needs to be covered with Thermal paste, cause the *entire* surface is the Core/Heat point! Treat it like a Delided CPU Die.
Cause with CPUs, mostly just the middle section of the heatspreader needs to be covered/cooled. But if you have parts on the GPU DIE not covered, you can get a burned up card.
Always use Non-Conductive Thermal Paste or Liquid Metal. -This does not contradict itself, because Liquid Metal stays in place where you apply it. While "normal" thermal paste will spread out. And when it spreads out, you better not have a conductive one ready to short the nearest neighboring component!
The rule of thumb for GPUs, better save (more) than sorry!
Since when are you not supposed to cover your entire CPU in thermal paste?
How to liquid cool ANYTHING:
1.Dunk pc in a swimming pool.
2.Done! No more liquid nitrogen shit!
haha 😂😂
Hi again
Ryan Ho srsly stop stalking me
i just came across you while reading the comments
Hahaha man,true. The PC will work much better.
should add heatsinks on those vrms and maybe the vram
+Reb actually both and he shouldnt have oc the memory
RIP
+Reb I was literally about to ask if that was the case :)
+Reb Should not even DO this. LOL. for 2-5 extra FPS? This is not worth it, at all.
Chuck Norovirus Nothing wrong with watercooling. you just want to make sure to get a solution that will cover everything. Also some cards overclock really well and get 5-10 extra FPS. when you are playing in 4k that gets you from unplayable to playable. it can mean a lot when you are getting 20 fps
The hoses should be in the downward position on the radiator not the top. Will ruin your pump a lot faster with it at the top.
Explain please! I’m going to mount my pump soon on my 2080 super and already have my cpu radiator, mounted to the front of the case.
Question... Why have they used a fan to cool the RAM? Why not have a aluminium plate that covers the whole GPU? Using heat pads on the RAM to make contact with the plate and the NZXT cooler directly on the plate?
It is only cooling your GPU not Vram.OC may get Vram hot as hell.Try the one from Corsair.
yes
+Khoa Bui That's why it has the little 92mm fan.
+Threepoint Onefour That fan it is not do any good If you are AMD cards user(290,290x,390 and 390x).You'll need some little heatsinks to put on Vrams.You'll be just fine If you not gonna OC those cards.
+Khoa Bui Yeah I hear on those specific cards its better to have some heatsinks. Maybe lower end amd/nvidia cards might be ok. Although why would someone watercool a lower end amd card :3
+Khoa Bui
What version does corsair make? Could you give me a product name?
Wait you put thermal compound on the GPU but the AIO already had thermal compound pre-applied... Dafuq.
If you understood why, this comment wouldn't exist
Parental Guardian the internet is strong you eh
"Small amount" lol
That was insane amount of grease. I haven't seen anyone use that much since the 90's
Yeah lmao
Crazy how much cards change from generation to generation. My 1070 easily runs at 2100mhz
2 questions. 1) Could you do this without the bracket? (just screw the fan over the vram). 2) Could you plug that fan into the power connector that is on the graphics card rather than plug it in the motherboard?
i hope after 2 years you are no longer retarded
@@Dustin34 nope still retarded
Anyone else concerned about the extreme bending on the PCB at 3:14? I know they can flex some, but all you had to do was move the hoses over to the opening on the case and it wouldn't be so bad.
Dude I agree, shit is wack. Kinda made me hope it turned out well lol
Thanks for the video but this was a bad design. The G10 did not really help cool the vrm and it also made the back of the gpu hotter by covering it with a sponge instead of a thermal pad. The best way to water cool is with a open loop and rad/res not a cheap aio with a weak pump.
the fans on the radiator are pulling hot air inwards? Great job turning your case into a furnace
Here in 2024. This in the jumping off point for my long-overdue dive into Liquid cooling. Thank you very much :)
I'm in the same situation, i have to cool a 2080ti i ve just bought but i can't spend much money cause otherwise i would have buy a better GPU ... I have to research the mods people have done to cool GPU, memory and vrm, this one seems like i can't believe this IS a comercial solution, It just forgets about properly cool everything but the core... No way i'm trying this
So a gain of 2 FPS over OC'd stock cooler...I would go with a factory OC'd card (such as EVGA SC/FTW, etc), save some $$ and call it a day
I was able to install this on my XFX 390X 8256. and it's awesome I over clock my GPU to 1160 and 1600 for memory boost and I used H55 corsair cooler. with a push and pull and on full stress test it gets 56c and when playing games I get on average 45c. and the 390x already has heat sinks pre installed.
did you just mount fan for the vrams? iam going to buy h55 for evga 780 ti, do you bought any other stuff extra like screws etc? or just the cooler and fan?
i used the fan that is given to you when you buy this kit. the fan is for the vram that mounts on the bracket but make sure your vram have heat sinks on them. mine had heat sinks pre done by factory but some video card don't have heat sinks on them and you have to buy them and mount it separate. i did not buy any thing extra. i had on hand extra Arctic Silver 5 so i didn't need anything extra but. i recommend you buy some to put a little extra on. because i had to take my h55 off and on a couple of times. so i mess up the pre applied thermal paste that come on the h55. no for the extra screws. well the h55 comes with 1 fan for the radiator and if you like to do a push and pull configuration on, then you will need to buy some extra screws. i got mine extra screws on amazon for $3 for 8 long screws. you don't need the extra screws unless you want to do a push pull configuration.
hey man thanks for the reply but what is push pull system i have no idea about this one.
so iam gonna need the cooler+mounting braket+long screws+good thermal compound is this all i need right?
FiNaTiC GaMeR push pull is where you have a fan on each side of the radiator, one to push air through and the other to pull air through. it's mostly unnecessary because of static pressure fans optimised to push or pull air through the large resistance of the radiator
Those are unstable overclocks, you can see it a the min FPS in the unegine bench.
Whenever I need to change to use this water cooler I worry about what will happen to the GPU RAM. It also heats up and why do we avoid cooling other chips? The original heatsink fans drain the memory chips heat to the cooler. aren't reduced heat isn't belong to those chips? i know water can hold many heat.
"Small amount of thermal compound"... and then he "pours" half the tube. That amount would've been sufficient for at least 5 CPUs.
good thing graphics processors need that much compound.
There is pre-applied thermal compound on the liquid cooler and no need to add any extra.
you should change that title it won't fit on all GPUs. at least not on the GPUs that have a custom PCB like Asus 980 strix etc.
I think you have a huge negative pressure in that computer case... makeing of it a massive hoover collecting all the dust. You can achieve a better temperature than what you currently have.
awesome , never knew this was a thing
I'm glad my GPU supports the kraken g12
For people living between the tropic lines of the globe go for water blocks, vram would fry in these conditions.
running my retail stock-cooled EVGA GTX970(KR3975) on AIR BIOS and it achieved 1550/8200Mhz stable.... 79% ASIC
do we have to repeatedly keep replacing the liquid inside coolant? Or it isn't required? What's the life for this type of unit?
Well done video. Concise and well edited.
Though, adding liquid cooling cost like $140. That's a lot of money! Having high temperatures does not really hurt you components or decrease life span unless your like 100c+. About 80c should not do much harm. Try to add more powerful fans to your system.
That $140 can go towards a sli configuration. I have a gtx 980 right now. It peaks 80c at 100% load in summer (when room temp is like 90f). Right now I get for $300. I'm sure in two years time you can get like $180 or less.
Alot of people watercool their systems so they won't make as much noise
This is the thing, that Boris should have done with his 980 Ti. Cool it with vodka.
do you know if this its compatible with Asus GTX 1660 super Phoenix Oc?
God that GPU is running real frosty with dat liquid cooler!
Grat vid bro !
You are supposed to put fans on the radiators
please do the comparison of the budget action cams(sjcam, xiaomi and etc.) with gopro hero4
u basically covers the intake of the fans with those tubes
no heatpads for the memory...
+Fred Bruno heatpads are only there to transfer heat from the component to the heatsink, so you'd want those gluepads or thermal glue with heatsinks to go with them.
Fred Bruno th-cam.com/video/a7r_2rE1yro/w-d-xo.html
Face palm yourself lmao
I suppose that it work with amd videocards?
Yes
+Bryan Garcia yes
"Heyyy folks whatzubzabuwasusam!"
I just can't find any case with optional mountable size fan...the market just makes only cases without any side fan...it's a shame as I believe side fan helps to cool the system!
I tried cutting some corners and just poured some ice water on the entire motherboard.
yo thanks, that cooled up my hot gpu, only downside is a dead pc but ill live with it. better to have a dead gpu than a 90 degree card
Hears small amount of grease, instantly scroll down for comments, was not disappointed
I this a highly recommended product because I'm just starting to look in pc for gaming and I want good and not too expensive parts. anything around $1600 or below is how much I'll spend. What kind of hard drive should I get for a 1070ti ? because I also want just one monitor for gaming and for browsing.
Dose this work with a GTX 1660?
Does it?
Anybody else have a flash of anxiety when he used a microfiber on the gpu😮😮
One imporant thing.. in most cases you will lose warranty on gpu.
There is one fundamental problem with your mod. There is no cooling for the VRAM modules whatsoever! Not recommended.
you should had use the Corsair HG10 for the 980ti
he used greese with the pre applied cooler pad ?? SAVAGE !!!!
My poor rx570 in my secondary rig is so overclocked she's running at 87° im trying to push it further so I hope I can bring the temp down with this
video on adding a huge amount of TP to a cooler that already was completely covered in TP.
Hmmm i think you can add a peltier cooler water block on that tube path. :P
Work for rx580?
would It work with msi r9 390x?
Yes
+Ben Duong if you get the blower like from xfx
+GamerSaladman I have the same gpu, so i need to ask to you: its good?
How to Liquid Cool Any Graphics Card
but is only for a couple of cards...i thought you will show us how to improvize some sistem to cool the GPU
The G10 is about 1-2 years old, i think. Why now?
"any card" riiight...except those that arent compatible with that bracket from NZXT, apart from those, all of them...imma go back looking for a waterblock for gigabyte r9 390 then...
how do you do a custom water loop and where would you get your parts ?
Sure the GPU core will get cool, but anyone who tries to overclock more with this liquid cooling method will find their VRAM and power delivery heating up pretty fast..... No VRM and VRAM cooling?!? (That one fan barely touches half of the VRAM and non-reference boards may have different VRM placement as well.)
I was thinking the same thing when he said it would last longer than a OC on reference. lol. Break warranty and comprise my $650 gpu awesome idea!
Can I still watercool it even if it is a mini graphics card with one fan?
If you plug the pump and fan to the motherboard, wouldn't it run 100% all the time? Also, you cant control the fan speed on Msi afterburner right?
None of your gpus memory chips are in contact with the heatsink tho....
I see you're the point here, but having the fan kind of defeats the purpose a little in having a water cooler. Is there a way to cool the entire card with an enclosed cooler?
thinking about doing this with my r9 390, thing sounds like a harrier taking off and gets up to 80C
what card are using
is it sapphire?
+robo cop Is it the Asus model?
+robo cop really? my sapphire nitro have never gone over 67C°, BTW alpha cool have GPU waterblocks for most r9 390 models, in my opinion it is a better solution if you want to watercool your GPU

+Ahmed Omar gigabyte
+robo cop oh thank you
Can I do this with my MSI GeForce GTX 1080 AERO 8G OC ?
awesome vid :D thanks!!
do you know Wich one should I buy for a GTX 1070?
Maybe a stupid question. But how do you connect the cooler to the chasis? Does it need to have holes already or. Reason i am asking is, i can get a liquid cooled vega 64 for a decent price.
Is there any difference between this and the corsair version?
Which motherboard are you using?
dude u r great..bhai..
Would that set up run quieter? cos you adding 2x fans for radiator and 1 small for bracket ...
I managed to get 1513MHz on my Asus Strix GTX970 with stock heatsink
Any Risk Of Damage Graphic Card ?
no radiator vram and etc... lol nxzt... sock.... alll
It’s not water cooler.....it’s a liquid cooler...
That was alot of thermal compound he put on no?
and you completely sure of what youve just said is right...
normally yes, gpus use more paste then cpus and its alot harder to damage a gpu with paste then a cpu. but he have used a little much, yet i still wouldnt say too much.
Candi Soda that is the die lmao
why does every pc video have the same guy commenting 'omg you put way too much thermal paste' listen, its been proven that alot of thermal paste doesnt matter on gpus as they do not have heatspreaders, plus if the thermal paste is non conductive go ahead, put alot. But if you put too little, your gpu will die. so stop commenting ignorant shit please and thanks
Hey guys, can u guys post similar video for msi gtx 980ti 6g card?? Thanks
what about the VRM-s?
Is there a 280mm version instead of 240mm that works along with the NZXT?
You telling me that your cpu is going to "eat" all the hot flow air from the gpu heatsink, since the gpu more likely to over heat easily, or opposite way the gpu wil take the heat. BTW is there any solution to help this setup work better, a new pc case with new fan setup or something else??
Does it support all graphic cards?
What about vmemory modules? Don't you need to cool those?
The white fan does that job really well
By ANY card... You mean the ones on the provided list of supported models.
Not the Ati Rx390 8gb...
I'm so tired of my wife frying eggs in my PC case. Lol
Can I just put in a GPU without water cooling on a water cooled pc
About to water cool my BFG FX5500...
why did they make it so hard to remove the blower? can you install this on a custom card?
Can you do SLI mode. Will this allow SLI mode or is it to big for that, does it interfere?
Hi
Can I cool down MSI GFORCE GTX 1070 TI just like you did?
Please help I have a Sapphire Radeon 9800 Pro and I don't know how to remove the cooler !
There are no bolts, I only see weird plastic things inside springs... And I don't know how the hell am I supposed to remove it without damaging it (it's old but still, I don't want to break it)
All the videos I see about replacing the stock cooler always start with the stock cooler already removed...
hi this product i can use it on my 1080ti FE or not please answer
Will this work on AMD's r9 fury/nano series? The HBM stacks might make this incompatible, right?
I need toi do this bruh, my 1070ti goes to 91 in cod
Just apply new thermal paste and/or up your fan speed. Look it up if you don’t know how
