good start Yang.
Installed it on my Asus Geforce 1070 Dual OC and load temps in Furmark decreased from 75*C to just cool 40*C. In Idle I have around 34*C. I love this cooling solution, but I had to attach a additional 40mm fan on the left of the cooler, because the PCB design of the 1070 Dual OC has all the chips that need to be cooled on the other side. Also I switched from the radiator cooler to a Noctua NF-F12 industrial 2000 pwm. Wish the company would be more known in Europe!
Good video. I installed it on my gtx 1060. And it runs a lot cooler.
how about galax rtx 2060? is it fit
This is a great cooler, pairs perfectly with my rtx 2070 ultra xc. World of difference vs stock cooling solution
great video man
Great video there, just ordered iceflow 240 as frostflow is no longer available to purchase. This video makes me feel satisfied with my purchase.
Also Malaysian too :)
Thanks for this man, i always wonder whether the 120mm rad is enuff or not and we have the exact same gpu !!
great video man. i saw a few videos of ppl saying this cooling system was garbo but, listening to you describe what other ppl forget to do etc, made me think they probably just fucked up the install. thanks again brother, threw u a sub as well.
There are 3 videos of this cooler that I did on 3 different GPUs; in all of them I got great results.
There are many in the comments have gotten great results as well. I think what's important to do is to make sure it's all mounted correctly, and like the latest GamersNexus video, this includes the radiator.
@@TechRodent u think its Worth it on an Evga 1080 SC? Since it can only max 120% power, seems like the stock cooling system keeps it at decent temps, even at max power.
@@timfriday9106 it's something you can try, then use the MSI afterburner overclock finder to push it harder
@@TechRodent its literally not possible to push the power further as a hardware limitation with the founders cards. I pushed mine to 120% power n upped the fan power and was running 65c. I know i'd q
Squeeze a lil more out with a like 10c reduction but, i dont see the value in tearing apart the card just for for that little bit cooler. I would if the bottleneck was temp but its power. Just oc'd my whole rig n im pullin mad numbers on the cpu/dram/gpu but, getting cooling system for cpu so was looking into system for gpu n noticed the numbers other cards had didnt come clse to mine. Found a video pointing out the SC has a far superior cooling system n is hardware capped at 120% power.
I wonder if this would work with my Gigabyte 1080 ti Black OC. It uses a three fan Windforce design. I think it isn't an OEM layout.
what is the size of the VRM fan? is it replaceable?
You deserved a Subscribe from me bro, Greatest Explanations i've ever seen in 2020! Cheers..
Tech Rodent Hi, where do you hook up the pump power cable to on the motherboard
It is directly SATA powered, so you plug it into the PSU
Hii sapphire rx580 8 gb nitro + 8 ??
can i installing this to EVGA 1080 ti ?
link to the gpu cooler?
Hi, will I be able to mount this on GTX 1080 mini ?
Hello, where can I connect the radiator to fans to the motherboard (x299e asus) in order to follow the gpu needs?
darn, the unit really hard to get nowadays. in shopee,lazada or even taobao. where can i get it now ?
can i put in RX 580 sapphire pulse ?
Greetings from east side (kuching), which site did you order these from? I tried two separate taobao english sites..one declined my payment and the other invalid. Care to help bro?
You can order it at A..Express too...
Can you control the RGB on the 120mm fan? Mine is stuck on red. Did I miss something?
It isn't RGB controllable.
Hey there, enjoyed the vid. Question, any problems with having 2 of these in a pc build and going SLI? thank you
Cheers buddy, I don't think there should be any issues with sli
@@TechRodent thank you very much, hope you your subscription base grows as great content
Anyone stumbling across this with a 2080 Ti you add one because you’re bored waiting for the 3080 Ti or whatever next flagship card hits please pay attention. DO NOT USE THE INCLUDED THERMAL PADS. Or do and think why didn’t I listen to TheBrandonAF? He’s a beast, I see his body count, watch his streams, IG and the instructions say to do... just f’n no and stop. If you want to risk killing your card go for it. Here is what I suggest. Use the AMD bracket. The contact is much much better than the recommend RTX which I could not get the desired results. Use the existing thermal pads for the Heatsinks (original heatsink on your GPU heatsink is very good quality) and your own preferred paste for the pump. Use every single heat sink and pay particular attention too where these will need slid over as the pump it’s self will need that micro clearance as you fasten and you don’t want a heatsink that’s perfectly aligned over the memory to prevent that. I am literally saving you days of benchmarks, troubleshooting, missing your stream schedule. Use the large instructions, but with AMD brackets for 2080 Ti reference board. Use additional screws to mount the back plate back on. It is critical you add a second 120mm fan for the radiator (push pull) These get extremely hot to the touch. Even with two fans. Your GPU will stay cool though. I put on a +175 core and +1100 mem OC and believe the hottest it got was 72c during torture. Good luck to all and for those following their instructions, I pitty you’ll come right back to exactly what I am saying.
great video! very informative as i'm shopping around for an aio solution for my gpu since it's getting into literal water boiling temperatures in my itx case. shame that they don't make gpu aio's for AMD cards. seems like i'll have to get rid of my R9 390 and get myself an NVIDIA card before i can proceed to the checkout :/ .
This aio fits amd cards as well.
hey man
what did u use to remove the heatsink from the old card??
i saw ur older video and actually did like u did with a 970
and funny now i got a 1080ti FE
that i want to get this cooler on
am afraid to remove the heatsinks off
and they are really stiff
can u share some advise?
also if i want to get some of sticky things for my heat sinks, what are they called and where should i look for them?
If it's a bit stuck, even after removing all the screws, twist the heatsink a bit, helps to remove it.
Are you referring to thermal pads?
Hi, i bougt the cooler for my 2080 ti. I tried to attach the heatsink with thermal adhesive but vram are "
slippery" and the heatskink fall down...any suggest?
Dimitri Zornik this also happened to me, but I only did was clean the v rams with cotton swab with alcohol.
@@rickb8423 thanks! I will try it. How are the temps with the cooler?
Dimitri Zornik 65C max
what about vrm and memory temps?
Passively cooled, that's why I highly recommend putting small heatsink to the (primarily) vrm's, vram n chokes doesn't get too hot.
Edit: put on gtx 1080, vrm without heatsink would be ~65°c
This should compatible with Asus RTX 2070 based on the mounting right? I play game like near heater when my gpu go full load. Good to see local tech youtuber.
Yeah they come with RTX bracket nowadays, just bought mine last week, works great but the temperature is not as got as this, despite me using a 240mm radiator instead of 120mm.
@CaptainCavemann should definitely work as long as you use the correct mounting bracket
what did you use to powwer the fans/pumps?
Direct power source from the PSU.
Will installing Nocuta 120mm fans give better performance than stock fans?
It will increase performance while making it more silent.
can i change the fan on the bracket itself? was thinking ll120
if you're capable of 3d printing or doing metal work, sure, but the original mounts aren't 120mm.
Does the fan with the radiator should be the exhaust or the intake? Im kinda new for this kind of thing..
You should set it as an exhaust, so that you don't pump hot air into your PC.
@@TechRodent ah i see, i thought the cycle is as same as car engine but it isn't. thanks for the reply! subbed.
What ambient temperature
That would be 23. Most of the times it might fluctuate that's why I've decided to use deltas instead
Thanks for the video always wanted to know if a 120 CLC is enough for 1080Ti. Good job!
No worries! Cheers for the comments.
Yeah a 120mm radiator is more than enough. The only benefits really from going to a larger radiator is slightly better cooling and a lower noise profile as you don't have to work the fans too hard to cool it down.
Hi TechRodent,
As I am looking through Taobao for NZXT G12 adaptor for graphics card water cooling (have a spare GT80i v2 AIO) is selling for 199RMB.
But ID-cooling 240 graphics water cooler AIO is 229RMB.
Will you recommend using the NZXT adaptor using GT80i v2 is more effective or the ID-cooling better for a 1080ti
Sorry typo the 229 RMB of the ID-cooling is 120 so 120 I’d-cooling at 229RMB or NZXT G12 with Corsair GT80i v2 has a better cooling performance?
Thanks
I would say that the kraken might do better due to asetek pumps being better, but the difference may no be very major
@@TechRodent Thank you so much :) Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Will this work with the asrock 5700 xt challenger? I know I'm late but I need to know because my temps are high
I don't have any definite answers; maybe someone in the community has it, but in general, if you examine the PCB of the Challenger with the stock 5700XT, and they're similar it shouldn't be an issue.
hi thanks for the video! btw i checked on the seller site and they dont say anything about the Gigabyte GTX 1070 Ti Gaming 8G is it compatible?
Your best bet is it look for the PCB layout for your card, then comparing it with the ones on the website to see if it'll fit.
Off the top of my head I believe it should.
@@TechRodent thanks man! I just reapizen this video is 1 year old and your still answering! Keep it up man
Can i put on ZOTAC GTX 1080TI MINI?
Thank you.
Mini cards usually have their VRM in the left side of the die, not recommended said their website
how did you setup the power??? for some reason im still hitrting high temps,
Check your mounting
Did you manage to solve the high temps? My GTX 1070 is hitting at 65 degrees Celsius with no over clock
hi, i can instal on R9 380X sapphire 4gb?
no i bought one didnt have brakets for a r9 390x
Alright dude. I got the AIO for my 1080ti. The 1080TI FE is loud and runs hot. It is terrible. hopefully this will cure all my headaches. I did sub/like as a thanks.
I'd love to know if it works out as well for you as it did for me. Cheers
@@TechRodent Hey dude. I did it. What a damn difference. Its night and day. It is quiet. It is way cooler. I am talking 70-80 down to 35-55 under load depending on the game. I do have one issue. It will not show anything upon start up. You have any idea why? I cannot even get into my bios.
@@mazor13 that sounds like an issue that might have stemmed from elsewhere, like ram or improper seating of one of your components
Awesome video. Very helpful. I was wondering where you plugged the 2 fans and pump in at? Will MSI afterburner no longer have any fan control after this install? Do you control fans with motherboard header and speedfan or something similar? Thanks very much.
Cheers buddy. I connected the fans to a motherboard header and yes I controlled it using motherboard software
Thanks.
If you are using the gtx card, you can always get an adapter cable like small GPU pwm 4 pins to normal pwm 4pins adapter and use default vbios to control. But for rtx card, you most liking to get a specific cable which is very difficult to find as I understand rtx now has a different fan control pins.
bro what do you think about the comparison between 120 vs 240 rad size? Dilemma between 240 or 120mm for my msi 980ti.
For a GPU I don't think it's necessary to go beyond a 120mm. My 1080Ti is perfectly performing even with a 120mm
Thanks@@TechRodent I will take up your advice so that I can save some money too! haha
will this fot on a evga rtx 2080 XC Ultra?
I haven't tested, but I don't see why not
Thanks for the video! That proves the 120VGA is more than sufficient. However, I wonder if the 120VGA bracket will take a corsair H55 AIO, should its default aio fails? But I doubt, just seen a video that the mounting is vastly different.
Cheers. There is no way that the 120VGA can take in the Corsair H55 AIO unfortunately.
@@TechRodent Any idea if this wil! fit into rtx card? The mounting is 74mm by 58mm. Or possibility to retrofit? Thanks!
Interesting, are the mounting holes not square but rather, rectangular?
@@TechRodentYes, due to the bigger die as I understand. I have a RTX 2070 on its way for a new build and I already have a Kraken G12 ready for it. As I will be having a few GPU in my build, so I am also looking for cheaper alternative as the G12 path can be rather expensive if you have no access to a current AIO cooler. Currently, I am looking out for a P104 8GB mining card purely for computation, and this frostflow should fit well within the budget :) Will definitely update here in due time. Cheers!
@@TechRodent Sorry that I haven't have time to install on a RTX2070 yet, but now I know I am needing additional mounting kits for RTX 2070 & above cards. It is ID-COOLING IDW033-RTX2 Upgrade Mounting Kit. Gonna order this soon and update again when I fully install it.
Just bought this GPU cooler because of your video. Tried to my Colorful iGame 1080 Ti Vulcan AD and it reached 75°C. I think it's too hot, no? My case is Meshify C which has plenty of airflow, I set both fans from this cooler @60% static, but still. I wonder what's wrong.
Nevermind, it is my case. The front dust filter is clogged with dust, and when I opened it, temps never goes past 61°C. Ambient temp is 32°C here in Jakarta, Indonesia, without air conditioning.
masih pake?
@@bagasnur5353 Udah enggak.
@@BinggomanLive knp ?. bisa minta review ama plus minusnya?
Hey man I need some help, I just bought the Frostflow 240VGA, but my temperature under maximum load is 70C, is that normal? I'm using a Zotac 1080 Ti Blower equipped with the Frostflow 240VGA
70C max load looks relatively normal, but of course you can check the contact between the GPU and the cold plate as well as swap the fans out.
@@TechRodent wait so 70C max load is normal EVEN if I'm using the Frostflow 240VGA? My thermal paste was applied ok-ish so contacts are ok, I changed the fan configuration tons of times, but the results were the same. Is there any chance my temperature is affected by the size of my PC Case? I'm using a mATX case, Tecware Nexus M
i might get this since its pretty cheap.
hello there. nice video man :) but i was worried if it fits on RX 570 ?
Hey, unfortunately I don't think it does as Polaris cards have a different mounting hole configuration
Hi, im using this cooler for my MSi RX 570 Armor. It is fit perfectly...
hi! does the frostflow 120VGA come with the mini heatsink as well? what's in the box?
Yes it does. It comes with heatsinks, the mounting kit with screws, and thermal paste
@@TechRodent I just had a look at the evga hybrid gtx 1080 and it's funny hows basically is the same stuff of this kit
ua-cam.com/video/0gDGB1e1aTQ/v-deo.html
@@SuperGianluka88 yes, most commercial board partner ones are basically the same thing, except for the vrm cooling where they use huge head pads to dissipate into a shared heatsink
like for full armor double zeta
Are you still using this ID cooler? Has the pump quit? Looking at cooling my rx580 with a ID cooler.
I have a brand new one that was used for 6 minutes if you want to buy it.
I'm still using it till this day
@@da133993 you still looking to sell? I'm looking to get one!
@@BrandedbySean I sold it on OfferUp. For way less than I should have.
Is Zotac 1080ti Blower compatible with this? Thanks
It should be, most stock configs should be okay.
Where did you put the radiator?
120mm exhaust at the back of the case
bro i wonder where did u plug your cable for the gpu fan?
You can either plug it too the motherboard or the PSU
@@TechRodent okay thankyou!
Has anyone out this on a amd 5700xt?
Is the Id cooler frostflow compatible with the Msi Nvidia gtx 970 because I want one as my Graphics card keeps getting hot.
do you have a blower style cooler or a dual fan style?
I used it on my 970 ME and it worked wonders
@@TechRodent Ok I have brought one straight of eaby so I am a bit nervous as I have not done this before.
@@Hairybarryy My Graphics card is the fan type Graphics card so I am going to try out the cooler with my 970 I have also brought it of eaby.
@@simoneholland880 it's not that difficult, good luck with the mod!
What about vram and vrm temperature?
AFAIK other AIO cooling for GPU doesn't include any heatsink to touch the VRAM. It is replaced by the fan which blows directly on the VRM. It is said to be adequate. Even NZXT does the same with this. I saw someone explain this on youtube.
@@lz9556 also i saw some review from gamer nexus that even with the stock cooler removed wich touched the vrms, only with the fan pointing them it gets better temps !
Now my question is will it work to mount onto an rtx 2080 super?
Some viewers have reported that newer models come with brackets for rtx cards
Tech Rodent I ordered a 120 version for my 1060 and about to grab the 240 for my rtx 2080s just wasn’t to sure if anyone has done it as I can’t find any info on it
There has been a number asking if it does and I've seen a number who have said yes, so I think it's a fairly safe guess.
The only thing I would be worried of is board compatibility
Tech Rodent yeah mines the aorus 2080 super so I’ll post up a video after I get it installed
Is the thermal paste good with the product or should I get a better paste like corsairs one?
It's alright, but you're going to be better off with higher quality compounds if you want the best performance
@@TechRodent Thanks for the reply man. Really excited, will be getting the product at the end of the month.
Just a last question, ill be using in my RTX 2080, is 120 mm radiator enough ?
@@dhust69boy it should be sufficient. It cools my 1080 Ti even on Malaysian summers
@@TechRodent i got the product, installed it and now getting a minimum of 15C down in temps.
Only issue, my gpu slightly bends when i attach my side panels. Hopefully this will not be a major problem.
BTW the fan headers were installed in the mobo right or in GPU pcb headers?
The fan headers are installed to the mobo, so long as those are running at full speed, the results will be fine.
If your card is slightly sagging from the flexing, you can try rearranging the tubes
non riesco a trovarne uno per me sono amareggiato
What was the cooler price that u got bro
33 USD
@@TechRodent oh wait, i thought u got it from Malaysia. So i assume its around 33 x 4 = rm132. Kinda cheaper than in Malaysia
Haha, I got mine from China, from Taobao
@@TechRodent i might skip that. Worried about shipping and stuff.
Btw, i could find the same id cooler but the price difference between 120 and 240 is kinda less. Around rm40(usd 10). Which would u recommend me to get. Not to keen on fancy stuff and main purpose is to get it lower than 80 degrees.
It's a pretty hot GPU, so a 240 might be beneficial

You fail at thermal paste, you added way too much!
Dosent matter
Indeed, it doesn't matter.
too much paste will cause overheating @@TechRodent
It doesn't, it has been tested before by may other UA-camrs, including Tech Jesus himself, Gamers Nexus.
Even him adding a stupidly high amount doesn't cause an overheat in their tests, let alone the amount I applied.
I used to believe the same though, but I followed multiple other UA-camrs and they made the same conclusion.
ye it does i read about it on thepiratebay @@TechRodent
ACETONE?! Why not use Isopropyl alcohol? Also why u scrape the GPU die... the chances of cracking the die for someone inexperienced who watches your video might just wreck their GPU
Acetone works totally fine, and scraping with a plastic pry tool is totally fine.
@@TechRodent Reason why I said that for acetone is that yes it is fine for electronics, but not for humans when handled wrongly. U provided nothing of a caution or somesort. Big tech UA-camrs do not use that for the reason of viewer safety. Pry tool just doesn't make sense imo as u can easily wipe it off and pry tool can potentially knock out the tiny electronics beside the die ,again, for view safety when they follow your videos. Those who are new to these might follow the things u use/do and use/do it wrongly. Just a note to take. Your videos are interesting as youtubers rarely do the contents u do. Keep up the good work
Would dis go good with a 5700??
Hmmm.. And i am going to put this in my rx 5700xt (:
