Have you seen the leaks, rumor has it Noctua and Asus are working together to release a GPU with a Noctua cooler. The other day Dusty tweeted me a photo of this GPU and after taking one look at it I knew we had to try and make it. So today, we take apart an Asus ROG Strix RTX 3060 and try and create the Noctua-Asus GPU seen on twitter.

Now put the number one fan for the fan showdown on the card.
but the number one is the cheater, which would be difficult
@@drizzle1482 season 1 winner?
I consider that one as the "top fan" for a small size at least.
I was literally waiting for him to do it in this video lol
Now I want to see him figure out how to use the cheater fan on a GPU.
Put that fan that runs at 3000rpm.
2021, the year where printing things for your computer is easier than buying one.
*If you have a 3D printer to begin with.
no, it is easier and cheaper to buy a prebuild
@@rafamacamp It's easier to get a 3D printer than PC parts
Just buy a laptop 🤡
@@Aesavyx Depends on where you live.
Thanks to Digital Storm to giving you the "Go ahead" on this one! That's awesome!
Even if for nothing else, at least it is quieter than the normal configuration. Either way, this looks pretty good, and I HOPE that this thing becomes a real product to purchase at some point.
Meanwhile At Noctua HQ: ‘THIS GUY IS TOO POWERFUL… WE MUST STOP HIM…’
Naaaa more like; we are gonna hire him
Nah see all the cheap plublicity they are getting from him? All for the cost of 2-3 fans. On top of that all the free engineering what not to do or try this. This is a gold mine for fan developers.
The question this video posses is do I buy noctua fans for my gpu or do I buy a noctua gpu either way money for noctua
DIY but people have to buy Noctua fan to reach the same goal as him, so... it's a win win for Noctua
Like "Hey! Wanna move to Austria?"
Wait, I don't understand how you attached Noctua fans to a thing without using duct tape? 😅
Duct tape?! No; you’re supposed to use hot glue!
cable ties
Tweezers
BTW, there is a “duct tape”, that used in aviation (don’t remember correct name), sometimes pretty much unexpected, for example - temporarily fix a hole in the wing))) I think that kind of “duct tape” can be used to hold fans on a video card without any problem)))
@@thiagorabelo01 exactly! couldn’t remember ) thnx
made props to Digital Storm for fueling the content.
Yup! 😎
a tip for making the dimensions for the holes, scan it in a ordinary 2d scanner :-)
That's a great idea for any 2d part
Dude... What card do you want? Cover the cost and shipping AFTER YOU GET IT and I'll go get one for you. Every time I go into a micro center, they have cards in stock

Not only are these really fun and entertaining videos, but what I really appreciate about you is that you give people the 3d model of projects so they can save time and motivate them to have a model like yours in their hands. Keep it up.
After seeing the Noctua one i actually thought about 3d printing a shroud for my 3060ti and putting the 12x25 chromax on it that are coming out soon. I'm surprised we haven't really seen many or any 120mm GPUs over the years. Even on the biggest GPUs we still get basic 80 or 92mm fans.
Seems like the heatsink was the limiting factor as far as cooling goes and I've never noticed gfx card makers being concerned with noise levels, maybe if this joint venture sells well we'll get to see more 120mm fans on cards.
1. Temps were the same.. sure it was less noisy but temps are more important. 2. It would easy be a 4 slot card as slim 120mm fans arent efficiant like normal 120mm fans. 3080FE with small 80/92mm fans runs perfectly cool for example
It’s because it’s extends the life of the card and repairing the fan would be easier
Some cards have slightly larger fans. My Red Dragon 5700xt uses 100mm fans for example. Still not 120mm though
@@l0ki4321 unless you are mining on those and have them isolated...I think 10db noise reduction is a good reason to go with the extra effort in to making something like this. And if the official card is reasonably more expensive than the regular version, again it's worth it. If it's like 200-300$ more expensive then...yeah it's not worth it.
I did this many years ago. And ever since i've always replaced the stock cooler with 2x noctua a12x25 fans.
The one in the video has 3 fans and logically 3 plugs on the pcb but If you only use 2 does the controller behave the same as it uses 3 or is it just programmed to react to the heat and it doesnt matter how many fans? Im a noob
@@franzrecht6092 The fan connectors on a GPU is not a normal pc case fan connector. So you plug them into the motherboard or a fan controller. You can use software to control them. But in my case the Noctua fans are so good i dont really need to do anything but plug them in and make sure they run. My 2080ti went from 88c full load to 65c. But the most noticable thing was the greatly reduced fan noise. My PC is totally quiet thanks to Noctua ♥
Honestly, since i don't care about noise i'd use some ippc fans which run at 3k rpm
@@federicob.8313 How can you not care about noise ? But yes if you don't, why not go for some Delta 11k rpm 100w fans ?
@@federicob.8313 Are you deaf? Maybe he's actually deaf.
I did the same with my evga geForce 1070 a few years ago, just with less 3d-printing and more just straight-up zip-tied a pair of unused fans to the heatsink. The Noctuas had a lesser current draw than the stock fans, so running them off the card was no issue. It might have looked a little "sketchy," but it actually ran 2°C cooler and didn't sound like chainsaw any more.
You done a bang up job of this, it is fantastic, can tell you're a professional designer and the end product is spectacular.
Can't wait to get my major hardware edition rtx 3069ti
3d printed fans 😄
Nice
More videos like this please! I love to see you go from taking measurements and design to printing and assembling. Very cool see the process through

Haven't watched your videos in a while and i have to say that your videos got significantly better in many aspects. Glad to see it.

The 3070 Noctua is a 4 slot design too. And the noise level you reach is super impressive. I have to run the fans at 100% on my 3090 to reach steady state at 56°, and it's obnoxious. The noise is about 60% of why I'm watercooling it
56° is cooler than you really need. 70° would be very much fine as well.
why must you have it so cool? 80 C is fine but my 980 Ti (founders stock blower design) runs hot at 86 C
@@Sebbl3 depends on your definition of 'fine'. GPU Boost starts dropping frequency at 30° on ampere.
@@Dimondminer11 every 5° over 30 equates to a 15mhz drop. By 86°,my card would be throttling, the gpu hotspot would be coming up on 100°,and my VRAM would be overheating
In the 3090, it s not the core temps problème, it s the vram temps who is the problem. Unfortunately, it s a design issue. Some of the vram are not cooled a all and can reach +105c.
I think It will be a real challenge to do a diy cooler for this beast, if an after market cooler can do it, I will buy it and I pretty sure a lot of 3090 owner will do the same !
Thank you so much for this project. I love tinkering with my PC for optimum performance, thermals, noise, etc. This is the best channel on TH-cam for all of that.
I love these frankenstein builds you do, very cool! Thanks!
Amazing job. It looks sick! I need to do this for my 2070.
Can you put the quietest fan so far on a drone? Could even make it into a separate series to spice things up
Hands down my favorite video of yours. this was awesome and I enjoyed your design process.
Thats a great modification! same performance with much less noise. great video dude I love the idea of creating your own design.
Great build. Maybe contact Steve @ GN or Jay to see if they'd be interested in a collab where they provide you the other 30 series cards and you make the Noctura versions. They could be tested against what the AIBs manufacture.
That would be cool
I remember more than quite a while ago, when the Corsair water blocks were leaking. MH was among the first to report this and Jay called him a no-one and he was obviously faking the test for video views. As much as I would like to think everyone is okay with everyone these days, I don't see how I'd be able to work with someone that said all of that about me.
@@Christopher_S Damn I didn't know Jay went in on MH in the past. Doesn't make sense but Jay seems to have D-bag tendencies.
@@kenpumphrey8384 Unfortunately so. It was at the start of 2020, about the Corsair GPU waterblock. MH was the first to spot this, and let Corsair know, they said it was just a defective unit, so send it in for them to check and they'll replace it. The replacement did the same thing, and MH reported on that too. Basically, it leaked if any pressure was on the fittings area.
People asked Jay his thoughts on it because he gave the product a rave review, and then claimed that MH was manipulating the issue to gain views. It was sad to see, because Jay instantly took Corsairs word on the matter, that it was only a handful of products with this issue (it was not, there was a rework done (which still did not fix the problem)).
Only in June (2020) I think it was, did Jay admit that there was actually an issue, and I've not once seen him say sorry for his accusations toward MH.
Either way, personally, even if he did say sorry to me, I couldn't work with him going forward after that.
@@Christopher_S I remember that water block issue. I just didn't see all of the content. I'm going to go back and look for it. Thanks for the info.
You can use this card for the next season of Fan Showdown? Just replace the fan blades? Could be fun.
He's got to send it back
@@mattymattffs Most likely yes, but Digital Storm might be interested in a collab, if they are asked again. It feels like good advertisment to me.
As soon I saw the notification, I was like "F*ck Yes!"
Wow, this is incredible!! THIS is the kind of content that I like. Now you can start testing fan blade designs in the GPU.
Now that it is actually out everyone is jumping on it. Glad I heard it here first. Your attempt was far better than Linus's Gorilla tape attempt. Haha.
Did the conversion cost $600? Because the markup from $500 to $1100 certainly communicates that ASUS needed $600 per card to do this.
Nah, he probably did it for way cheaper. Oh wait, he needed a 3D Printer.
Let's see:
A12x25 fans are $29.95 US according to Newegg.
He needed two, so that's $48.90 for the fans.
For the 3D printer material, we'll say he used 250g of material (equivalent to a massive print). You can get 1kg of 3D printer filament for less than $20 on some stores (PLA should be adequate, or you can use ABS). So the cost of the 3D printing material should be around $5 or less, depending on how cheap you can get the filament.
Let's also say that the glue he used cost $5, and the screws used to attach everything cost $2.
Adding everything up, you get $60.90, excluding the tools you need to do the conversion.
So it seems ASUS is marketing this as a premium product?
@@williamhuang8309 I didn't need the math done, my comment was sarcasm. But yea, you could buy the 3D printer with the fans and you'd still save a few bucks. ASUS is nuts...
@@dominic.h.3363 I was about to say with the $600 you could buy a new 3D printer and also make this thing 🤣
@@williamhuang8309 don't you think PLA will deform in the time with temps around 50-60*C ? ( I have a RX580, running easily in the 70-80*C range so, PLA would be a concern XD )
@Thomas Hannah Nowhere. I've read the same announcement article everyone else did. No other region-appropriate information about pricing or availability.
Bro i wish your channel explodes, your contents are so original and so fun. Youre such a gifted content creator
Just stumbled on your Channel and I like what you're doing , so I had to subscribe
Not sure why my heart sank when you said they sent you a pc with a 3060 in it you could use, I was like oh no you didn't, then lol you said you got their permission lol.
lol, Thanx Digital Storm for letting him lol.
How did you wire the Noctua fans, to the GPU's on board fan header?
As he had the wires free when he attached the cooler to the card, I'd expect he attached the wires to a chassis or CPU fan header on the motherboard. There are adapters to convert the PWM plugs from the GPU to the standard PWN plug, but I don't know how safe that is to do. (I've been starting research on my own shroud for a couple weeks now and wiring the fans has been one of the points of concern for me.)
@@JLProPhoto I've deshrouded my GPU (1070 Ti) and run case fans off the GPU header. Hasn't caused any issues in the past few years.
@@JLProPhoto Thank you for the information.
@@teguh.hofstee do you have them running on a curve or do they just go at 100 all the time?
@@JLProPhoto I run them off a curve, I used to control them with a custom curve using afterburner but I think right now they're just running whatever the GPU has as its stock curve. The fans are still idle until it hits like 45C or something.
Love this, respect to your creativity and digital storm for allowing this.
Very cool video. I love the concept and yes it does look sick!
I remember back in the 90s, early 00s, we were doing this with zip ties. There was an awesome community around silencing your PC. They were loud. They're still pretty loud. Lots of diy zip tie mods. Now you can make them pretty with zip ties.
it literally got announced an hour ago 😂😂
i seen that, lucky timing for me
People from a hardware discord recommended me your video, because I modeled this graphics card in the last days as well. I am happy to see this one here :)
Thats so cool. Awesome job man
Great job. Just be carful of putting PLA in a pc as it goes soft at 60 degrees Celsius and might drop those fans and (hopefully not) cook the GPU.
Great video. Keep it lit.
The PLA shouldn't be getting anywhere near 60 degrees since the actual gpu isn't over that, but that would be an interesting thing to test with a hot running and poorly ventilated case. Maybe just plastic wrap the case.
thats actually not a problem. the fans cool the plastics. ive printed fan ducts for hot ends in pla :-)
This is not a problem, I did this to my own gpu too. The 2 noctua fans are still attached to the PLA and the cooler. It has been running in my poorly ventilated p400s for almost a year now. Though I am thinking about reprinting them in ABS, because right now the parts have different colours 😅
Nice video, and excellent work on the gpu build!
Something about this video is so good. I feel like I just watched a lecture on how to be an Engineer. Super cool stuff
This is the best computer-related video I've seen this month so far
Just discovered your channel. Love it. Liked and subbed.
I would like to see a test rig were the showdown fans are in the rig and the smoke gets pulled thru the case. maybe some different configurations of fans, different fans as push and pull to see the best combo, etc
Pretty cool that they told you to go ahead . That helps my view of them a little.
Sweet man. Love how the brown/cream Noctua colours are hidden (along with the noise) lol.
I reckon rounded corners on the front side would take it to another level of slickness, but what you've done is fantastic.
Wow!!!I love creative people like you. I wish I had that facility to do it. Greetings Crack!
Excellent stuff as always! Well done!
Amazing job, you actually got it close to the picture.. 3D printing ftw..
Man, you're fast with this one, great job!
3D printing really puts so much into the consumer's hands and I love it
This is excellent I'd really like to see more projects like this one. You could do this to every graphics card you own or could borrow and I'd watch it. Such a practical idea for some of the lesser expensive cards that could really benefit from this type of modification
This is super cool. I can't imagine how it is possible that one person (You!) can design and 'print' this stuff at home
Amazing work!!!! Looks and performs great !!!
awesome job man! love it.
You made it look so good, dude. Killer job.
that's really really nice of digital storm to allow you to do that. seems like a pretty chill brand
To find what is making the noise in the case take some plastic object and place it up against areas in the case with your thumb over the top and your ear pressed to your thumb it's a mechanic trick that i learned years ago
Thats awesome !! great job !
For DIY tasks - brilliant! 🙏👍
Your setup is so awesome
I love this, i really would love a full custom design from Noctua in the further
That looks awesome! I would happily run something like that in my system.
These Custom cooling things with 3d printing are so inspiring
You nailed it, looks awesome.
I almost cried when I thought you put that die face down on the desk. Had to rewind to check you hadn't hahaha
You did a terrific job mate
I ran 2 of those fan like that on my old 1070 and stayed below 50c with max overclock. Super efficient setup.
Nice. Argus Monitor would be great for this, would let someone set the fan speeds to follow the gpu temps.
So new series of people sending in GPU cases and fans designs for you to test out like the regular cpu fan showdown? That'd be interesting..
Just earned a new sub... amazing work
having had 2 a12x25's zip-tied to my gpu for the past couple years, its actually quite a bit better than stock. I have them at 100% most of the time and they're never even the loudest thing in the computer, not to mention the temps are very nice.
This is my first time watching your video and it’s impressive!!
Pretty neat project, also props to Digital Storm for the cool guy move allowing it in the first place. That's good marketing after all :)
8:23 I was hoping you were gonna say it had a lightning bolt like the digital storm logo.
*You should do more of these modding experiments !*
Frickin' sweet.
Deshrouding has long been a thing in the SFF world (Ali @OptimumTech has more than a few videos showing it to various degrees) but this is the first time I've seen a new shroud made for it, so kudos for that :-)
You should do those kind of modifications more often ... How about a GPU Fan/Shroud Showdown Series?
Keep up the good work James 😎
Dude you did any awesome job! Looks almost like the "official" version. I think the only thing holding you back here is the heatsink itself. In the stock config the boost clock stabilized at 1770MHz, while the screen cap you showed for the modded version looks to have stabilized around 1717MHz, so that's a delta of 52MHz. That would seem to suggest that the modded version hit some sort of thermal limits earlier; preventing it from boosting more. I think the stock heatsink was the limiting factor for the mod. But it was really cool to see.
LOVE the IFIXIT tool kit! Awesome content, sir!
Any chance you could flip the fans around to reverse the airflow direction? I have a case that could weirdly vent the hot air out of the case instead of inside the case if the direction was changed.
where do you plug in the fans? a random channel fan header? or an adapter to run them on the gpu so they fluctuate in fan speed like the stock ones?
Yeees
Now stock vs best fan temp comparsion
Looks perfect man. Total chonk!
Try doing the case by it's by removing the front panel flip flipping the case so that that is the bottom and the back of the case all the plug INS and stuff on the top
I have a 1070Ti and replaced the fans with 2 Corsair ML120's. A lot more quiet than the stock, but I don't have a shroud, so I know I'm loosing out on a little cooling efficiency. Watching this channel has really made me want to get a printer and start experimenting. Great video as always!
Omg that's sick. You should reprint that fan that got picked up by that company on there to pump up the looks.
Hey James! Great video. The cooler looks awesome. The one problem I see is that the 3060 cooler is using the heat sync as the higher power cards. If you were to use this fan setup on a different card, like. 3070ti or a 3080 we might actually see a difference in cooling as we will be using the capacity of the heat sync more.
bruh i realized u "only" have 195.000 subs. u definitely deserve more.
did something similar with my r9 290.
put 2x120mm arctic fans on there, because the old ones failed.
at full speed with sidepanel open + undervolting it runs at 66 degree celsius max
I had the fan rattle too with my XFX 6800XT. one of the fan screws was just that little bit less torqued than the rest and if fans went above 20% it was bad, and only went away if I just went 100% on them, and making it stupidly loud.
I would have LOVED noise normalised testing. Get the stock cooler back on it, run a test at full blast to check if your mounting is correct (temps in the same range as before) and then play with the fan speeds until you get around 43.2 dB.
was interested in doing this but with the slim fans...just wasnt sure how to handle the cables...could you possibly include that as well? dont want to short out anything!
7:57 I CANNOT wait to get that printer myself! I use the QIDI Tech X-Plus currently, and it works great, but it only has one extruder! I can't wait to have dual extruders to use HIPS support for my detailed prints!!!
