I put a Morpheus II on my 5700xt and I had the same issues. Memory getting hot for some reason. I have a waterblock on it now and everything is nice and cool
So from the horse's mouth, seems like there's no taming this thing without a full cover solution, hopefully AIB partners figure it out. Thanks for this comment. So many people saying the Morpheus is better when Ranjitek told me they are trying to figure out a better method of cooling before they sell a 5700xt approved version.
@@TimmyJoePCTech I followed a thread from a guy on Reddit who did the Morpheus 2 as well and he solved it apparently with liquid metal and really cranking up mounting pressure. I feel like the cold plate is way too big for the small die and it's difficult to get it to get enough pressure on the die alone without significant mods but the memory is another issue and maybe a better system for attaching the heatsinks is necessary. I guess I didn't try too hard because I ordered the waterblock anyways.
@UCTH891dCUxTZb-nBULGNLTA I don't really remember what my memory temps were but I know I was shocked. My edge temp was 57 and my hotspot was 100 and I remember that cause I put it in a post when I asked the guy who posted about it. www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/cb3oq3/fitting_a_morpheus_ii_to_your_rx_5700_xt_a_visual/?
@@DavidArcher76 You REALLY REALLY need a custom heatsink solution for this If you are serious about modding this card...
This is also common with the Radeon VII, not particularly the memory, but the hotspot is unforgiving without some kind of AIO or waterblock, Einswolf 240 AIO is way better on my Radeon VII than my Morpheus II was, despite the Morpheus being better than the stock cooler, it was far less consistent temp wise.
Do not stop. Do no give up Timmy Joe. You, YES YOU TIMMY JOE one of the few TechTubers that still care about overclocking like it's still 1998, I love you for that. So please, keep it going!
Its funny how we use to mod everything in the 90s good old days.
@@1967KID I miss modding in general, like soldering and such where they mod chip consoles and modding games to overhaul it and such.
Beck in the day when you'd mod different crystals to the motherboard as a way to higher base clocks...
hahaha, remember pencil mods?
@@neavo8421 yep, the old days of shunt modding was a wild west, not too different from using liquid metal though when you think about it
Literally started the video over to see you fall awkwardly again! LOL
i watch it 4 times over it doesn't get old XD
His laugh sounded like Kristy the clown too 😂
i had the same problem on an rx 480 with the accelero. what helped me was thermal tape or whatever its called, thermal pad thats sticky on both sides. that way i was able to tape half the small heatsink onto the memory where it wouldnt interfere with the plate. gave beautiful temps and never any issues. thermal arhesive is definitely a pain inthe ass to work with
I see you took the comment from your previous video for this card! Happy to see us help you in some way! I honestly though you already saw his video
Incredible how the dent in the cooler literally says, "Im broken garbage by design". The irony escapes out the window, with all its bells and whistles....
props for the effort Timmy.
Thanks for making this video! I did the washer mod a couple days ago to my RX 5700. Which I was super happy with.. but you know we all got that itch to do more. Thanks for saving me the headache. With the SPPT topping out at 78c at 1950 mhz with Furmark. I'm using an older case from 2011 that has one of those side intake fans right over the gpu, I'm guessing that's helping out a bit with the blower style cooler. lol
Thanks for taking one for the tech community. In the GPU market for my daughter's rig. good information.
thanks for grindin' getting these videos out!
One day late for me Timmy Joe... I did this mod yesterday and it was so annoying and it looked stupid and it didn't work right. Good video, listen to this man!
They are coming out in less than 2 weeks so. No point in modding now.

@@ban6_ja9o59 Founders Edition card with its heatsink discarded, your own water-cooling solution instead (with a proper radiator. Not the shitty small square AMD used to sell their R9s)
Just an additional note: Steve from Hardware Unboxed tried a custom water block for an open loop setup and had no noticeable improvement in overclock and overvolt.
I'm always seeing your videos in my suggestions, with a thumbnail symboling the pure desperation of your failed, crazy hardware projects. Haha always good for a great laugh. Good stuff :D
A German site had no issues with the arctic cooler but they had the back plate cooler attached as well. I’m waiting to see how the AIB cards are before choosing a new card.
Hey Timmy, I think you have a missed opportunity here. You should document all of the issues with the aftermarket cooling solution reach out to the company that provided for you and asked them if they could make a modified kit that would address the issues you found. It would be pretty cool to see a video a couple of weeks down the line that shows a new model of that cooler that is adapted to the feedback that you provided if the vendor is willing to work with you. They like you enough to send you the cooler, they may like you enough to work with you on this and come up with a cool improvement. This is how a lot of you tubers and content creators start getting industry contacts and come out with the own versions of products.
Either way I’m sorry to see that that cooler didn’t work out and Thanks for documenting the attempt.
true, instead of bashing and cof favouring AIB incoming solutions cof
Anselmo Oliveira He isn’t wrong, the parts clearly do not fit. Universal not so universal in this case :)
@@VelcorHF it seems arctic made the mistake themselves, sending timmy the version3 ,people in the comments here all seem to be saying the version4 is the one that works better, maybe as timmy mentioned to do with cooling the ram chips directly above the gpu better ? (he mentioned they were getting no airflow with the version3 baseplate)
wich accelero did you use, did you try out the version with the big backplate ? and then adding small heatsinks to the memory ? it runs so damn fine in my system ...
Damn, a swing and miss. Keep up the good work and don't get burnt out. We need consistent content
Thanks for attempting this Timmy! Most wouldn't dare do this.
Hey I just wanted to stop by and say that I am currently using a 5700xt with an accelero xi extreme and it's been working great! Load temps cap at about 75 C and has been extremely quiet. I still recommend getting an partnered cooler but if you have an reference model, after market cooling for noise especially, works and can be worth it
Same, except I am using the Xtreme III. 72° peak (91° junction), while being much quieter.
A proper cooling solution for the xt series includes the memory as well.. So the water cooling solution would be best to use but again the card is pretty much maxed out.
The point of something like that is better fin area means lower volume for high performance. It's not necessarily to get any additional performance over what lesser fin area can do. You can always compensate for low fin area by slapping a jet engine like fan on it.
0:34 I can´t stop looking at Timmy´s hair wiggling when he moves his head xD
I put an Accelro Xtreme III on my XFX rx5700XT this week and had alot of sucess with lowering temps and noise. Those were my goals, and I have bothered trying to overclock it other than turning up the power limit to +50%.
Because I had been running Unigine Valley for a while before replacing the cooler meant that when removing the cooler from the gpu the thermal pad did not break or get damaged and just stayed as a single piece on the stock cooler.
I did use different heatsinks than came with the Accelero. I had some black aluminum ones from ID Cooling. They came with some double sided thermal tape you apply yourself, on the VRam I turned them sideways and left about 1mm exposed on the inner area for clearance of the Accelero cooler.
For the VRMs I cut a thin strip thermal pad to sit ontop of the VRMs to raise the height to be level-ish parts next to them and the placed a line of heatsinks over the top. I held those in place for a few minutes, as the initially bond was terrible due to the thermal pad being a a touch too thick (the ID cooling adhesive tape is intiaitially week, but because very strong after a day or so).
* I also place a line of heatsinks on the back side of the card directly over the VRMs. Tbis time without any thermal pad.
When applying the cooler I had some trouble with the plastic stand offs. The one I used on my rx480 were to tall preventing contact with the gpu, and I could not find the other ones provided when I first modded my rx480, so I just carfully proceeded without any (this can be a bit risky).
Generous application of Kryonaught later, and my temps are down from 98° (junction peak 117°) to 73° (Junction peak 91°) when using stock fan curve.
Noise has significantly decreased from 61dBa to 42dBa under load at max fan speeds. The noisiest part of my PC becomes the PSU when under load withe Accelero installed.
The only thing I am unhappy about is the GPU area of my case heating up, but that is a issue with my Cougar QBX being so small. I am going to try swapping the Xtreme 3's triple fans with a pair of slim can fans set to exhaust.
Does the dent in the factory cooler have any effect on cooling that memory up at the top maybe?
I don't get the washer mod. Do I just remove the 4 screws on the back near the gpu "socket" put a washer underneath each and call it a day? And that will lower temps by 5 degrees?
What you needed was the Raijintek MORPHEUS II CORE EDITION Graphics Card Cooler, you put x2 120mm fans of your choice on to it, and it works well. But i would also suggest under volting the card to see if this stabilises the card temps
That thing costs 75-100$ without tax AND without fans, that would price it above the 2070S which is the better card even without an overclock. Plus you void your warranty.
You've put a lot of time into this, I know the feeling spending time on something like this and not getting the results you want. Well in my case just fixing a laptop overheating!
My laptop gpu used to over heat all of the time and every time I tested new thermal paste, I had to almost fully disassemble the laptop each time, get the motherboard out to get to the gpu/cpu. I had to do this like 5 times!
I eventually got it sorted using Noctua's NTH1 thermal paste- it worked perfectly for the gpu but now the cpu overheats! Now I need to take it apart again and put NTH1 on the cpu!
After disassembling the laptop many times, I became faster doing so, then I recorded a video of it, replacing the thermal paste too. The laptop is the: Acer V3-571g 17.3" 1080p display, gt 650m 2gb gddr3. still a good laptop, can run Apex legends! kind of...
I love your content keep doing what you are doing!
The Chris Farley of tech UA-camrs, keep ‘em coming! 😂
What method did you use to remove the VRM and VRAM heatsinks?
I contacted Arctic about that and they said its non-removable.
Seems that cooler you have there is an old model that they dont sell anymore, because now they sell it with some black plate.
I powered my fans externally. Seemed like the card had even better clocks from either the reduced power draw, or the extra cooling from the psu power directly giving 100% to the low RPM accelero fans.
I used the artic accelero 4 and it actually works really well, keeps everything nice and cool and quiet and looks to be much easier to install with its backplate cooling the vrms than the little heatsinks the 3 uses. My card can only get to 2050mhz on the core regardless of temps, but is significantly quieter than the reference cooler.
Paul from not an apple fan has one of those on his and his works fine?
One of your best video TimmyJoe.
Hi, so I had similar issues with my Powercolor 5700XT Red Dragon and the Xtreme III (keeping the stock backplate) - flaky performance in certain games and it actually crashed in Anno 1800 despite showing RAM temperature below 90°C in GPU-Z .
I found that the easiest way to "fix" it was to remove the backplate alltogether (it was acting like a heat trap) and point an additional 80mm fan at the board in the GPU Area (From the side).
Do note that I'm using two Noctua NF-F12 as main Fans in Pull configuration (TU150 Case exhaust, 1100rpm @load + 50% = 210W)) and an additional NF-A8 pointed at the board itself.
Anyways thanks for the Video, it really helped me pinpoint the issue with my setup.
PS: I will report back once i get my 3mm Thermal pads to stick between the backside of the Memory Chips and the stock backplate - maybe this can help to reduce temps even further.
How did you connect the accelero fans to the fan header on the pcb? On my pcb stay 7 pins on the fan header. Asus tuf 5700 xt
5700 XT, stock hardware and using the auto undervolt which is keeping my max temp at 82C rather than 88C that I was seeing a week ago. Will do the washer and paste mod and hopefully, once we're in the 70's, I'll start fiddling. Thanks for the video :)
Is the GPU mounting bracket on TOP of the backplate at 6:41 or am I looking at it wrong?
I lapped the cold plate and did the washer mod and some kryonaut and it helped. About 80c on the GPU and 90c on the junction and about 82c on the GDDR6.
Arctic sends a cooler
Hopes for advertising and positive review
Timmy joe : i will destroy this product's fame
@MegaAlpakka Yeah, this is pretty atrocious to be honest. The cooler works great from what everyone else is saying
before watching video from comments I'm assuming memory/VRMs aren't being cooled well enough. I usually have used aluminum flatbar thermal-taped or screwed onto mount-holes, and then added heatsinks to it with a small fan for watercooling with universal blocks (my 7850 and 480 and 580 all needed extra Big heatsinks to keep high level memory OCing.). for aircooling, I usually stuck pads on to couple it to the main heatsink. the flatbar was absolutely necessary, those dinky little heatsinks individually were not sufficient. edit: I see exactly that was your problem. Having flat bar, a drill, and a saw to make your own heat-spreaders goes a long way.
Hey Timmy Man, did you consider a Kraken G12 and 280mm AIO with that :D ? Just saying.
I'd be curious to see if you could attach the accelero while leaving the baseplate that cools the memory and the vrm. I did that with mine on my evga 970 and it worked great
Would the washer trick help a gigabyte rx 5700 xt? Mine keeps hitting 91C on Ark on medium 1440p
I ramp the fans up to about 70% and it lowers to 86C but still kinda loud. And I even changed the stock thermal paste
Thanks for the video, very useful.
What about designing your |||closed||| PC case for significant positive pressure- which should push more air through the blower style card (without the fan)? Every major video review I've seen for any modern card is always "open bench" or "open case", so that could be another option to try and get better/quieter cooling with the stock reference blower card (to help keep the temps down longer).
some dude put a fan on blowercoolers fan and temps dropped quite a lot can you try that too?
Would you suppose the diminishing returns after 2 GHz are due to memory bandwidth limitations?
dude, you got the wrong cooler. Morphius Vega or Prolimatech mk-26... Yes, they both work. Ive tried and both hit 2100+
Problemen is that artic have tell that this coolers works on the rx5700 xt .
But the ram coolers with the pack just sucks .
Hey Paul. I’m looking at the Prolimatech. It looks nice! Did you add small heat sinks to the chips when installing it, or just the cooler and fans? Thanks!
@@brinkbodin9239 you can, but they're not the best sticking ones ive seen. for ones that'll NEVER fall off, pick up a set of ENZOTECH VRAM heatsinks...
@paul taylor / Im looking for this card. Found an asus tuf version which is the hottest card. But have plans for change the cooler to a better one. These 2 coolers you are talking about is it plug and play and where can i find a guide for the whole process? Please give me some inputs. Thanks.
@@abiyhmor how's it going with 5700xt tuf3?
Can you swap out the stock fans with quieter ones at least?
Worked great on my r9 290x! Had to chop up see spare heatsinks cause they don't ship enough of them...
Using the Artic IV on my 1080 and now it never goes over 65c and its hot in my room no ac so you bought the wrong one or did it wrong
yo timmy do you have a i7 3930k/e5 1650 you wouldnt mind parting from?
Maybe try the r9 390x aib cooler mod like you did with the regular 5700.
You can buy little copper heat sinks for the memory and VRM's people use them in custom water cooling solutions like when using kraken g12. They might help dissipate some of that heat with your custom air solution.
what about the red devil cooler you put on the other card a few weeks ago?
That was a VisionTek cooler off a 290X on a 5700 or 5700XT
Same issue with morpheus IV. I tried everything from copper blocks and direct fan over it but memory temp eventually climbs up to 105
I have the RX5700 not the XT i put the Accelero Extreme lV with the back plate for memory and so on. I was disappointed i got temperatures of 87C on core and 70-80C on memory. But i didn't give up i threaded the back plate for screws instead of the plastic holdings put Teflon tape on the screws to isolate them also to keep them from loosening over time. Put arctic silver thermal grease on the GPU chip and i connected the fans to my fan controller on the front of the case. Now i have max temp on core of 71C at 1850mhz without changing settings in radeon software. Memory sits at 60-68C at max at 1750mhz. Fans spinning at 1980RPM. Also worth saying is that i have a 250mm fan on case directed at the motherboard. What my conclusion was for threading and putting screws thru the back plate was the fact i didn't get an even pressure on the thermal pads wish also resulted in uneven contact for the gpu core for the cooler. Hope it helps someone. www.arctic.ac/eu_en/ax4.html
Hey Timmyjoe, thx for the video. IMHO you should use the superior Accelero Xtreme IV rev. 2. I used both that and the Accelero Twin Turbo III; the GPU I tested (RX 480 blower, GTX 980 Ti) runs cooler and with less noise. The backplate helps cooling a lot. For me less noise is THE reason for an aftermarket cooler (a bit extra performance is a nice gift, extra). But all will not help if you lost the silicone lottery.
To be honest, besides nice numbers... OC is for the real world not important. Unplayable FPS will not reach super smooth levels. All the best from Germany, Pepe
that looks like the accelero III, i put the accelero IV on my old r9 290 ref style and some 3m self adhesive chip coolers on worked a treat
Aftermarket fans. I know all about it. RPM doesn't matter that much, its mostly about CFM of airflow. CFM stands for cubic feet per minute. The blower fan design still does good compared to three crappy fans. At least put Noctua fans on that heatsink !
what does CFM stand for?
I use a thin layer of JB weld for permanent heat sinks it is thermally conductive and works awesome , it takes over night to set , it is also electrically conductive so care has to be taken it has metal particles in it according to a powerful magnet.
It was worth investigating the mod. Now we know what doesn't work. Thanks Timmy 😎👍
Did you try to set the curve to 2200/1.2v?
I put a Morpheus core II on my card and it worked like a charm. Just remeber to use the low heatsinks on the ram.
What are low heat sinks?
i have a coolermaster cpu liquid cooler on my 5700xt and hetsinks on memory :D worksa great
I just bolted up a Deepcool 360 AIO to mine, the hole line up, I had it sitting around doing nothing anyways. 20's idle mid 40's load, super quiet. I used some cheap heatsinks from Amazon for the Mem and VRM's and a few other chips that the stock cooler cooled.
Timmy the new overclock is undervolting the cards for better Temp and performance.
Thanks Moore's Law is Dead subscriber!
You're totally correct but yet I can't help but find it really sad and boring that these days throwing a safer and lesser voltage through your chips actually brings better performance... where's the fun in that?
@@tinopimentel5734 It's not dead, but the rate is slower
@@willl4575 because QA doesn't want to set low voltage and have a few cards go unstable in a production run. So they put extra 'to be stable'
@@classic_jam its a youtube channel
I installed this after market cooler on my RX 5700 XT, but the version you used is not the correct one, you need the Revision 2. Instead of the small heat sinks you get Thermal Pads including a seperate heat sink on the back of the video card. Accerlero Xtreme IV Revision 2. For my card it worked perfectly. GPU temps did not get warmer then 62C Celsius, GPU Hotspot was 89C Celsius en the GPU VRM did not get hotter then 50C Celsius. So what did I do different then you did besides using the right version after market cooler for this video card.
Conclusion: Do not be a Timmy Joe, harsh but true 😂
You're still a champion for trying sir, good work so we didn't have to 👍👍
Sort: how much pain is the blower cooler? How much money is worth paying for aib?
Long: Would you buy the 5700 xt ref card If it was down by a 100 bucks now when the aib cards are out. So like sapphire puls is just 10 bucks more then ref but If it was 110 bucks difference what would you go with.
Did you install the massive arctic backplate passive cooler though? Other tech guys seem to get a lot better results with that thing attached.
That is the Xtreme IV, which does not include heatsinks.
i have a regular 5700 xt with a ek thermosphere waterblock and a be quiet 80 mm fan pointed at the memory and vrm of memory controller, gpu vrm is also watercooled temps below 60 and memory temps around 84. That was worth it. gained a much more stable frequency, altough my card is not a good overclocker.
i bought one i will do the washer trick thanks so much for your hard work
Me: *Reads title*
Also Me: "Wasn't planning on doing that chief"
GINGER BISCUIT DIPPED IN TEA FOR TOO LONG = TIMMY JOE
Looking like melted ice cream
I would add thermal pads to the back of the card where the memory is so they can make contact with the backplate. Or use higher quality copper memory sinks like the Enzotech ones and see how that works out.
I just got a AIO Watercooler block for my 5700 (Bios modded to 5700xt) and it runs so much better now it's actually insane. I notice now that there is much less micro stuttering and more consistent frames. HOWEVER, I had to put small heat sinks on all the memory chips as well as junction points to make sure they remained cool.
Does anyone know if that Powermod Utility app work with the Vega cards as well?
Would water cooling it keep it cool?
my brother tried the same after market cooler, the one with the 3 fans you have on his r9 380X
it died after installation, I don't know if he caused the damage or the cooler did but I wouldn't recommend risking it just for lower temperatures
A true aftermarket cooler made specifically for this card would be cool
Has amd said anything about any other alternative that they will supply for cooling on this card? Anything at all?
Yeah, the sapphire pulse or red devil or msi evoke hehe. AMD would never officially support anything. You're stuck!
3:25
the orginal thermal paste from AMD is conductive.
you should make sure that nothing comes on the board.
Mounting the Casefans on the card upside down could help, because the air is getting sucked through. I saw a video with this solution in an DAN A4 Case which worked very well.
ID Cooling iceflow 240 its a 240mm liquid cooler, with a 92mm fan for the vrms and memory. I've installed it on 2 5700xt and it is literally the only solution that works, my temps were 55-60 on the gpu core and max 80*f on the junction temps. (THE JUNCTION IS THE MOST IMPORTANT TEMP) Also have to buy a raspberry pi heatink kit and put them on everything, on the ram, vrms, wherever a heatsink will fit or you think there should be one, put one on it! It literally changed the card and was super quiet. Again this is the only solution I have found to work, and I had different 5700xt cards with different fans and different manufacturers. Total cost is about $120, and a few hours time to get it all right, but it works!
Can't wait for custom cards
anyone about Accelero Xtreme IV Rev.2 can you test it? does it solve issues you refer in the video? thank you
The question is do we still need Timmy Joe PC Tech
in 2019?
So I can replace the thermal paste? Ryzen 5700xt
You should've had the Accelero Extreme IV, which has that giant heatsink backplate. I have a GTX 1070ti where I use both the little glue on heatsinks directly on the chips, and that giant heatsink backplate, and it's cooling the entire card really well. I also used a better heatsink glue than the one in the box, which has higher thermal conductivity and it dried faster. Might have been enough to keep this card under control, if you want to keep it aircooled. Water cooling will of course do better, but that's a whole new can of worms to open for most people. :)
My disappointment is immeasurable...
And my day is ruined

AMD did their best to lock down performance on RX 5700 to force you to buy a faster card they'll release soon. How much sales did AMD lose on Vega 64 from people under clocking/modding Vega 56?
It's so true it hurts!
powerplay table mod?
Vega 56 Pulse on 64 BIOS is GOAT!
I dont think they lost much, since most of the vegas (either 56 or 64) was sold. Some of it went to gamers, some of it went to miners, some of it went to compute monsters. (I saw pcs with 6-7 VEGA64 running BOINC...)
is there a patreon level for mixtape drop
I own an Arctic Accelero Extreme V. It has a big back plate to cool the vrm and ram. It makes your gpu a 4 slot card but it works and completely reversible.
Its a complete solution but it is for the more advanced users, I could see people messing up the mounting lol.
Why nonref versions still aren't available?
the extreme 4 might actually work better on this with the huge backside cooling "sucking" the memory and vrm heat through the pcb
Actually I've bought a Morpheus II and use it on my 5700XT,use it at stock and it cooled more than with the stock cooler,my card was going at 92°C and about 101 on his hotest point but W/ Morpheus i've got about 71°C and 89°C at his hotest point so for me it worked out well and it's silent.
Mine is working well. Im using the Sapphire Pulse version with a little modifikation. Temperature is 10 -15 degree celsius lower.
I think that it is memory limited. Try overclocking the memory as far as possible when you get the waterblock.
Tim...have you tried liquid metal on the 5700xt?
I have one of these on my Old GTX 470 and it works great still to this day.
