    Really glad to see you did a review of these! I've been using the predecessor of this product (NZXT G10 Bracket) over several builds now and I absolutely love it. However, I've run into the same issues with installation issues that you did on my EVGA cards; I like leaving the faceplate and backplate on for some added heat dissipation and rigidity, but those same tabs prevent contact with the cold plate. You can cut them off, but I bought some copper plate and fashioned my own shim instead to avoid that. As far as I can tell (having done this now on 3 GPUs) there has been negligible to zero negative effects to the cooling by using a shim... I just needed to get some longer screws to make it all work. I also swapped out the included fan with a pwm Noctua fan (plugged into the cards own fan header through an adapter) and everything stays cool and quiet through every overclock I've tried so far.

      Did it, can't work. I just tried yesterday on my EVGA 1070 Ti SC Black, but even with the 4 little pieces removed, the entire hole is a bit too small for the fixation system of the G12. So if you really want to do it, you will have to cut a bit more than just those four parts. Personally, I don't want to try that important modification for now, my Temp card does loose 20°C in a perfect silence.

    You could also use a 1mm thick copper shim between the die and aio block so you dont have to hack up the front plate and or remove it. In turn you would be able to keep the front and back plate on for better protection, looks, and cooling performance. I used a shim when I did this with my 2 evga ftw 980ti's in sli with g10 brackets and nzxt x41s worked perfectly.

    hi Jay. I ran into this problem as well with my 970 ftw+ and the midplate (or faceplate as you call it). no Dremel necessary, a 25mm x 25mm x 1.5mm copper shim will raise the coldplate and pump high enough to avoid interference with those tabs. eBay/Amazon has those, but I hacked up the baseplate of an old heatsink into that size shim. works great, no hackery.

    I have the G10 installed on my Asus Strix 970 for a while now, it has performed brilliantly, i'm seeing a 20-15c reduction in temps across the board.
    Another thing to note is the significantly reduced noise under load, the original air cooler the card came with, although silent at the lower temps, once it would start hitting 65c+ it would really start whirring up (games like Witcher 3, Mass effect andromeda etc took it into the mid to late 70c) and would really intrude on my gaming as I don't use headphones.
    This has also had a positive effect on the other components in my case too, my cpu temps have dropped a few degrees as there is less hot air being blown around the case by a toasty gpu.
    Going forward i'll be installing these systems on all gpu's I have in the future.

All Jay needed to do was use a copper shim and some thermal paste with no need to remove the front plate/back plate or use a dremel. This video really needs to be redone to show everyone this more elegant solution. Whatever happened to doing things right?! I've been doing this for a long time now with my evga gtx 980 ti classified using a 25 x 25 x 1 mm copper shim I bought off of fleabay and a corsair h105 mounted in the bottom of my cosmos 2 case for a long time now. I learned about this solution using the kraken g10 by watching a video from a guy named Reckless Yuki. Stumbled across his video via a Google search back when I was researching using a closed loop AIO to watercool a gpu. The thing I liked about this solution is that it is reusable when you upgrade. However, the g10 is a PITA to install. Wondering if the g12 is the easiest to use and most compatible, or should I wait for evga to come out with a bracket, as I just bought an evga gtx 1080 ti sc2 black?

    I'm glad you've made a video showing the Kraken bracket. I've had my G10 bracket since June 2015 to cool my MSI R9 290. Then it cooled my reference GTX 980 Ti. Finally it's cooling my GTX 1080 Ti FE and using the Kraken X41. Idle temps in the high 20's and mid 30's (getting warm out here in the New Mexico desert) and under load it goes into the 50's and sometimes low 60's. I did worry about the RAM and VRM's so I added some low profile aluminum heat sinks to them. Again, great video!

    I had a similar problem with my RX 480 reference card, I got a Corsair H45, got it on my GPU, straight swap with the aluminium block, black screen no boot up. Got another gpu on, boot up, got the rx 480 back on again, and it booted up fine. And the temps is down in the 40's like yours in the video 👍 and the reference fan on 30-40% no issues with pwr temps either 😄

    • @Dimsen666

      @Rushtallica 7 років тому +1

      I've read about some AMD cards having VRAM overheating badly while the GPU core gets great temps. I've only been researching the r9 390 and similar/related cards such as the 7970, 290x, etc., but I've seen a few comments about cards being ruined, one even with heat sinks applied to the VRAMs. I bought a Kraken g10 but haven't applied it yet specifically because of the risk, though I may order some of the little heat sinks to try it.

    • @Dimsen666
      @Dimsen666 7 років тому +1

      My card is a ASUS RX480 Reference card, i'm using ASUS GPU Tweak2, monitoring the temps, wrm included, under stress test, Furmark the power temps got up too 50¤c after 2 minutes. But i don't see any problems when gaming. But thx for the heads up 👍

    Thanks for the awesome video! I will be doing this to my card in the future. I'm currently using a AIO cooler on my cpu, and my system stays so cool and blows to slightly warm air up top, but down by my graphics card it gets pretty warm. I'm hoping this would significantly help that out. What 90mm fans would you (or anyone for that matter) recommend if I were to replace the included one? And would it be worth it?

      you can mount the back plate, and built in the case it looks quite nice, in my opinion looks even better than with the beefy air cooler.
      Also solves the sagging because you take off most of the weight.
      As Jay says in the video, If you "HAVE" a card, this means if you already own a card, and wanna watercool it, this is the cheapest way, and it works.
