Another big positive with this cooler is that you can transfer it to new gpus in the future which adds a lot of value.
If they are supported...
Usually the mounting bracs are similar from gen to gen, there is always a high chance of the hole alignment, i had a dual 120mm fan cooler for gfx for around 10 yrs cause of that and the last card wasn´t supported but the alignment was there on the supports.
i mean this cooler has been around for like 6 years albeit that they revised it to 2nd gen (same mounting and slighly different fin designs) and it's fine with so many generatinos of cards, so unless nvidia decides to fuck everyone up it should be fine
its not touching the vrm's and other energy related stuff, i think is not that good
AtomoVerde you’re supposed to put small heat sinks on them.
I want this for my GT 1030
nah bro 1030 TDP too high for air, gotta go with liquid nitrogen
nickt what do you mean you’ll barely get 90 degrees on idle you’ll need to at least go with some liquid hydrogen
Same
nah man u have to put it up uranus
I had to bring my 1030 to Jefferson Lab and put it behind neutron accelerator with helium cooler just to get 1mhz overclock
I’ve just finished installing this in my air 240 Matx case and have seen amazing results. I have 2 Corsair ml120 fans at 30% (sounds like 50 - 1200 rpm) on my asus turbo 1080ti @ 2000mhz with stock front plate pulling 49 degrees!
I even went up to 2063 with 40% fan speed and got 44 degrees!
This thing is awesome and it took me longer to get it in my case than to install the Morpheus 😂
Thanks for your walk through as this is what inspired me to do this mod!
thanks for the helpful guide! I installed the morpheus ii on this exact same SC2 card today and I figured out a way to do it with the stock backplates on! Just toss some washers on the 4 screw holes so that the holes in the backplate are brought flush with the backplate surface. this is the same thickness as the morhpeus ii mounting bracket, so you don't need the bracket or to remove the backplates.
I swear to god i thought i was watching Hardwarecanucks until i heard your voice XD
Fahad_Nomna7 same
Fahad_Nomna7 same
Me too! lol
Shame
The ARCTIC Accelero Xtreme III VGA Cooler fits inside the ncase with normal 25mm thick fans. Would love to see a comparison between these two. I have a feeling the accelero would be a better buy since it's gonna have similar performance while being smaller and cheaper.
you mean extreme IV...for 1080ti
Great video. Just today I installed the Morpheus II Core on my Zotac Gtx 1080ti Amp Extreme alongside two Noctua NF-F12s and some Kryonaut, and now, even with my limit-pushing overclock, I dropped about 10°C. The card tops out at about 57°C in Fire Strike Extreme. Incredible stuff here. I am so glad I bought this.
7:31 curbed my concerns, also first video ive seen from you channel, impressed with quality
Only problem is cheaper or founders edition have less power phases than a more expensive, custom pcb
Well if you need a expensive card for liquid cooling king pin hybrid tear it down and use the card better power phases but for air cooling you could pretty much max out the card with stock power levels overclocked just don’t get into silly stuff like boosting voltage and shunt mods only do that when liquid cooling
It's still worthwhile especially these days with everybody buying used video cards. Lots of them have tired fans or need to be completely disassembled, cleaned and repasted anyways. Might as well throw in 100 for this thing and a couple fans. I have it on my 1080 founders. The blower fan ruined immersion and some of the AIO solutions were very half ass or way overpriced.
Honestly if you want bleeding edge performance, nothing beats an open loop and a GOOD card made for it especially on the power delivery side. Most stock cards will thermal throttle way before that at least my 1080 did.
2:17 just so you know, the EK Vardars are at the very top in terms of airflow/noise. That means that they will make less noise for any given temp target than all other fans in the market. That said, Noctuas may have a less intrusive sound signature... I don't know because I haven't seen frequency data, only sound pressure.
Beautiful Brolls combined with excellent edits,couldnt resist myself from subbing.
Do you think you'll ever revisit this cooler using the supplied aluminium heat sinks at any point? I can't help but feel that if you did, it would probably match the Arctic accelero cooler in terms of VRM/memory temps.
Cant believe i only just found your channel. The quality and work you put into these is astounding. Sub'd!
Could you try and mount the EK Vardar fans on the original heatsink? So that we could see the difference the fans make
Hmmm that'd be interesting
The results maybe interesting
By my knowledge of aerodynamics, EVGA's fan desing is pretty bad. Same for ASUS (I bought a Strix thinking the big cooler would be quiet but, the fans at minimum are audible) and MSI's using 2 different blades on the same fan is just wierd. Why don't they just make normal fans.
Linus has a vid on the topic where he tryes normel asus strixs fans vs nuctua fans.
Yeah, it made around 3 degree C difference on his Strix. However, it was much quieter.
We need more tech channels covering this heatsink so a) Aftermarket Coolers step their game up and b) update and improve air cooling.
I really like low temps cause high temps kill electronics faster.
Nice. My STRIX 1080Ti hits around 67C when gaming, but your morpheus solution beats that without even trying :D
my MSI gtx 1080 ti hits 75c max in 4k ultra gaming after 12+ hours on bf3 :D
running 2000mhz core 5900mhz mem stable since day 1 :D
My GTX 1050 laptop hits 60 when gaming, no that bad heh
Great video, quality cinematography! I'm really curious now if you could throw some Noctua fans on there and if it would still be quieter than an AIO card while remaining under 60°C so there's no throttling. Maximizing performance at low noise is a priority for me.
I'd be interested in seeing a "control" for the performance here: remove the fans and shroud from the ICX cooler, and zip-tie the Vardar fans to it. That way, you'd get to see which part of the improved temperatures comes from the new heatsink, and what is simply due to increased airflow. Follow-up video, perhaps?
I came here and subbed because I saw you on RandomFrankP. Nice channel.
Dude I've been contemplating a setup like this for a silent build, Black Noctua fans and a NH-D15 in a Define r6 would be so clean
Nice! Finally a professional review of the morpheus 2. Would have been nice to also compare it to a water cooled card.
Also would have been an idea to measure the noise, then have both solution meeting the same noise level and see at what temperature there at.
I only got a gtx 1070 though...not sure why it's not supported.
Nice video Optimum tech as usual !
How about you test the EVGA stock cooler with the Vardar fans ? I know for a fact that it is the best compromise between performances and costs, but we could use some benchmarkings to put real-world numbers on this affirmation. I think the main problem comes from the stock 10-15mm fans an not the heatsink, although the Morpheus II is a clear step-up from the orignal of course. Other cards like your MSI 1070Ti would be nice to include in this test too
I want this setup! If I ever get the chance I might drill retention holes in the stock back plate to use in place of the morpheus two's top mounting bracket. Back plates don't do much but I like them anyways
I wish aftermarket companies made a cooler like the raijintek but with cooling support (with pads) for the vmr, memory, etc. So the full system is refrigerated by that big heatsink + double 120 mm fan support.
i m running something similar, sort of. I have gigabyte 1070 g1 card. i removed the shroud and fans and zip tied couple of noctua 120 P12 fans. now my gpu stays under 60C all the time and it is barely audible. I cant control the fans though, since i plugged them in the motherboard. I m running them at flat 700rpm.
Mine looks ugly though because..... noctua
As someone with an Ncase I'd love to see how this performs with some 12mm fans so that it can squeeze into the 3-slot of the Ncase.
Great video and a pretty dope looking product to boot.
did you use liquid metal or another thermal grease? you should test the stock cooler with the other thermal compound too for consistent testing
I'd like to see an arctic extreme 4, it works in an ncase with 25mm fans perfectly once you take off the stock fans/shroud
Sander McDonald I think Artic 4 for may have interference with that backplate cooling better go with Artic 3 for the Ncase M1
Henry Rodner seems you just run it without the backplate if necessary, it has some thermal gains on the iii so why not?
smallformfactor.net/forum/threads/masstas-1st-ssf-build-ncase-m1.251/
Well i like anything THICC so it's a Yes from me.
Coffee Jack "ANYTHONG"!!!???🤔😉
even THICC bois? ;)
..... ...
... Even THICC bois (͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Can you do a followup with an in case temp comparison, I want to know if the temps will be tolerable in a low profile or mid tower case.
Do you have any details on also cooling the VRMs with the included heat sinks? How and where should they be installed?
Nice video, Im a big advocate for this heat sink. Great cooling and noise reduction !
Ty for also testing the vrms. I'm curious about the memory tempature under load tho also (mainly because I put a g12 on my 1080 and it seems fine, but I am paranoid
Can you please do another video like this but keeping the stock heat sink but replacing just the fans?
nice video... Why you didn't use the Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut (1g) on the GPU chip ?? to get better temps.. ?
Curious, what’s the overall thickness of the Morpheus II heatsink to the PCB?
I’ve got a Cougar QBX build, a and EVGA 1080 that gets a little toasty. Plus 2 slim fans. If it’d fit, I’d definitely consider it.
@Optimum Tech I think the MB box may be act like a sound amplifier, so I don't think the sound test is that accurate. But you got yourself a subscriber, none the less.
Thanks,
Matt
I tried that with my EVGA 1080 ti black edition and Morpheus 2 core black, but it did't work because of these spikes on the midplate... How did you manage and placed the cooler with the GPU midplate on?
Got my Evga SC2 with fan ticking noise when it gets hot and cools down, this might be the perfect solution!
Currently hitting 70-80 celsius with my case setup, bit too high for me..
I‘d love to see the temps of an an EVGA GTX 1060 SC with this cooler.
Just wondering how it would perform with no fans attached and depending on just case fans to cool it. Also how well it would work with 120 slim fans.
Did you ever do any overclocking to see how far you could go with it?
How much length this cooler adds vs orginal cooler?
As you were comparing heatsinks, would it be better to compare it with the same fans? I mean, what's stopping me from mounting high performance fans on my card?
try the EK VARDARS with the original GPU heatsink to see if you can mod any gpu..
Will it also work on a GTX 1070?
@Optimum Tech or anyone else, I have the same 1080ti SC2 and morpheus ii cooler but am unable to attach the cooler because the of baseplate that covers the memory and VRMS. The metal heatsinks/fins on the SC2 baseplate stick up ever so slightly too much to get the cooler on. I even used the exact same standoff positions as shown in the video. I took the baseplate off and it works perfectly. I tried all of the different screw holes for the stand offs but couldnt get it to work. Clearly it must be possible since its been done though. Maybe its a manufacturing tolerance thing because I can see that the only reason its not going down flat is because of probably less than a millimeter. Id like to use the SC2 baseplate and not the heatsinks they provide because im scared of them falling off (they did several times during installation).
I'm annoyed to find that you've posted a very similar comment to one I left in here a while back where I actually damaged the baseplate by trying to bend those cooling pieces that made contact with the cooler. Optimum tech should be addressing these 'warning' comments from users so that other people here don't make the same mistake, instead he chooses to ignore them.
Im interested about the sagging of that construction ? I mean 3,5 slots and that amount of heatsink should be a lil heavy....
wtf dude your videos are oddly satisfying the best tech channel on youtube less talk more work keep it up
do morpheus vs arctic accelero IV or III (whichever one is the most recent idk)
4 sounds more recent than 3....
did you leave the back plate on for the stock testing ? I wonder what those thermals would be with the back plate off with the stock fans Apples for Apples ya know.
How about this vs the NZXT G12, that’s provided one has an AIO watercooler lying around which a lot of us enthusiast will have a 120mm AIO watercooler lying around when we switched to 240 / 280 and it only cost 20 USD to order
Is it safe to plug two 120mm fans to the gpu's original fan header?
I have a zotac 1080 ti and want to swap the stock coolers but also want to keep the auto fan curve.
If you add RGB fans, your temps would be in the 40s 😎
It is known... RGB reduces temps *and* increases performance.
Agree* w/o a doubt it will.
This is true RGB is the coolest
If you have rgb you can actually play crysis
This is absolutely insane! I'd almost be worried to have it sagging on a PCIE slot in a case. Would you be willing to do the tests again with a slim fan so it can fit in the ncase and then compare it with the artic accelero iii? Thanks for the great videos and keep up the great work.
Sure
what about if you just removed the fans from the old one and replaces them with thses fans with stock heat synch and to tape/zipties
would love to see if it possible to add 2 stand alone fans to the msi 1080ti armour , as those fans are atrocious and not built for a 1080ti full stop but has a a really good card underneath from what gamers nexus has said, but his answer doing a custom liquid cooled makes its not worth the answer down to cost
So this cooler was annouched like 2 years ago and I can't find it for sale anywhere :/
I wish you would do another test with EVGA heatsink but replaces the stock fans with Vadar fans. I suspects that the difference are mostly from the fans performance.
I just ordered an MSI GEFORCE GTX1080 TI AERO, and realized that I may want to add some cooling to prevent the super loud blower fans from kicking on. Will this work with that card?
This is an awesome cooler, but be aware that you may have difficulties with certain cards that use different thread size screws or a higher backplate. For example installing this on my MSI 1080 Gaming X was a breeze as I just had to use the stock heatsink spring screws. When I tried this on an EVGA 1080 FTW ACX 3.0 the screws they used were too thick to fit into the standoffs of the Morpheus, in the end I was able to use the little backplate bracket by removing the rubber underside (using a couple of layers of masking tape to prevent scratching), then the Raijintek long spring screws were able to reach through to the standoffs.
I noticed that you elected to remove the backplate and just place the cross bracket straight onto the back of the PCB. I guess this is possibly how it's supposed to work, but I really didn't want to lose the structural rigidity and additional cooling of having the backplate on the card.
Sadly I've had to downgrade for a bit to a GT 1030, because money. Wish I could use this for that :P
Would love to see a review of the arctic gpu coolers
Kinda surprised you didn't stick liquid metal on the gpu's as well, wonder if you could get it below 40 with it
Im curious if you put a Server Delta fans that can spun up to like 11k rpm sure it may be as loud as a jet engine but the temps may be surprising
What could be the problem if the fans don't spin when connected with a y splitter and a VGA PWM Adapter to the 4 pin gpu fan slot. But they work when they are connected to the motherboard.
it would be great if you used this opportunity to test it out with Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut as you did with your 8700K i believe?
I am wondering if the GPU cooked. The assembly that makes contact with the VRM on the SC2 cooler really looks cool but it also looks like it needs to contact the radiator/main heatsink. I don't think the SC2 has heat detection in the VRM (specifically the MOSFETs) so I would be worried about cooking the MOSFETs without proper cooling. How did the card last?
Nice test and amazing video quality !
This needs to come with some sort of gpu support bracket and you need to show this installed in a real case please to see how bad the droop will be. Thanks.
Did you have to use a copper shim to have it fit on the stock SC2 midplate or did it clear those 4 tabs that protrude into the GPU mounting area?
Wait im confused. The VRAM was just put with thermal pads with no aluminum heat sinks? Do the thermal pads touch the morphius?? Or is if just thermal pads being blown down on by the Ek vadars
Could you keep the original backplate that has the screw holes for the die? Would the screws be long enough?
This thing is incredibly good. I put it on my EVGA 1080 Ti Founders Edition with two 140mm Noctua (yes 140's will fit) with a lot of liquid metal and it stays in the 40's with a closed case. The case is a Dark Base Pro 900 which is a hot case too. My mind was blown
Hello Optimum Tech!, I bought this heatsink for my GTX 1080 Ti FE. Am I mistaken in seeing that you don't have any heatsinks for VRM/VRAM? Asking because my kit didn't bring enough heatsinks to cover all of them on my gpu and information is pretty scarce on this topic.
I want to get one of these with low profile fans for my RX 6800 XT the main reason is It won't fit in my core V 1 case with the stock cooler.
I installed my Morpheus II on my SC2 Ti, I did not get the same results, in fact my Morpheus results were lower than my Stock SC cooler. I did the 2000 rpm test, my stock numbers were exactly like the numbers in this video ~64c. However, with the Morpheus and two Delta AFB1212SH fans I went up to ~71c. I raised the Deltas to 3400 rpm and only reduced the temp to 68c. Eeks, I need some help...
have you tried to remove the backplate and front plate?
my gpu have a 6 pin fan connector and i can find an adaptor for it :/ what do i do?, please help :(
Just curious how heavy the card is with the cooler installed.
What if you use liquid metal as thermal paste ? Temps under 30 C° ?
I like my rtx 2060. But, the 3 heat pipes inside the evga xc cooler are tiny. I want to upgrade the cooling stack.
I've tried this cooler on my Founder's edition 1080 Ti, however I can't seem to get any where near the temperatures you've got here. I'm even using the exact same fans. 1000 RPM and my GPU is running at 85c. Tried multiple reseats. The heatsink itself is getting extremely hot so it's making proper contact... Is it possible I've got a higher leakage chip as I also used to use a H55 AIO on it and the temps were high 60's at full RPM.
I got one on my R9 390 with 2 Phobya eLoop fans and it's insane, my case is not the greatest for good temperatures but I still get 65°C after 15 minutes of benching without the slightest bit of noise. I use Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut on the card aswell
did you use liquid metal also while putting on this heatsink ?
Who thought this was a hardware Canuck's video......that intro tho
Do you think a vertical card, like literally hanging from the bracket not the usual "vertical" sideways, would sag without a backplate? Im about to install it tomorrow and be done with my wc loop and would like to know, thank you
I'm using this same exact card and the vrm heatsink is preventing me from properly installing the cooler. What should I doM
I have it on my RX 580. You think overkill?
70C with the Fans of my old graphics card cooler at 50%
That is awesome. I've just bought the 1080 ti Kingpin and I will try to dare to change it's cooler to this and with liquid pro
If I do this to my 1080ti gigabyte turbo using a razor core X to use with thunderbolt 3, how would I power the fans?
Thanks for this review. My only remark will be on weight of this cooler. Without any backplate, it's a lot weight to support for PCB.
My thoughts as well, unfortunately the backplate didn't fit with those stock screws.
yes i saw in your video, that is really complete review. Thanks for your work!
Use Legos, that will solve the problem
My 1080ti evga ftw hits 77c in gaming a little to hot for the fans curves kicked up to 80% which is loud as hell
I got a phatek p400s with a front rad push/pull set up and rear exhuast should I do:
1) 2 top 140mm fans to exhuast air faster
2) buy morpheous II and attach 2 be quiet fans?
The evga ftw3 1080ti cost me 720$ got it befor crypto craze
This will help you: www.evga.com/products/product.aspx?pn=400-HY-5698-B1
Why didn't u use the stock sc2 backplate. It would of fit just fine...
Just installed Morpheus II with 2 Noctua Nf-F12 fans on my Zotac 1080Ti Amp Edition. Very impressed so far. From 82-84°C to 60-62... Before I was able to achieve 1.936 mhz on core, now I can easily stay +2000 mhz. Can't be more happy.
still use this cooler? It`s fine? You use it whit backplay or whitout it? card falling bcs morpheus is big cooler or not?
Use Liquid Metal and some high speed server fans and you'd get a really cold card at full load
You should have used the same TIM on both test "reply" the TIM to the evga and retested it to see the true comparison.
Hi, I have a 1080 ti SC Black and the baseplate looks very similar to yours, but those cylinder things on the baseplate get in the way of the of the Morpheus when I try to align the screw holes to install it. what's your opinion on what I should do?
So don't you need a fan-controller, can you really mount like 2x bequiet silentwings coolers and connect them BOTH directly to the GPU and regulate with Asus GPU Tweak for example? That would be perfect.
Back a few years ago, a friend of mine had a 560Ti, and the fans rattled like crazy. So we removed the fans, as well as the shroud, and then mounted 2 120mm fans onto the stock heatsink. We saw very similar gains in cooling performance even with the stock heatsink, just by mounting a couple fans to it. :)
Someone suggested this above, might habe to try it!
Fit the morpheus II on a vega 56?
how many slots does it take with 15mm thick fans for example?
need to get something for my 390x but only have 3 slots of space :/
