Whaaaaat!? Thanks for the name drop sir!
Y'all we gotta make this top comment... small RUclipsrs like this deserve publicity!!!
Someone tell Jay to pin it.
Do you have a link to the video Jay is talking about and do you own a Dremel?
credit where credit's due!
That's awesome, Joe!
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.

Im here to comment so that u can come back to your comment and reflect on your social sucess
@@awfrick2118 you're a hero, and I'm here to tell you that.
Ataready you’re awesome and I’m here to let you know.
@@frankyalvarez7160 your astonishing and I'm here to make sure you know that
Over Kill107A you’re incredible and I’m here to make sure you know that
that song, while you were assembling the cooler, that was playing in the background was dope AF
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.
Good guy nzxt allowing you to use aio coolers other than their own
Stephen Garemogg it could be that or the fact they don't manufactor it and a third party dose it for them and most good aios sellers buy from them (asitech, I think that's how ya spell the name)
Dennis Rigdon you're right on that, its because the pump designs between most aio's are pretty similiar also allowing that compatibility with other aio's gives more people the chance to buy it rather than just owners of NZXT water coolers
Stephen Garemogg Corsair has had something like this for a while and theirs will work with most any Asetek based cooler base or will adapt to one with another plate
ShadowOfDeath24 the problem with Corsair's version is that it isn't universal. You'd need a different one for different cards.
What about zip ties?? Same performance upgrade for free!
Great video with surprising memory and power delivery temps! I would really like to see the same exact test with the EVGA Hybrid cooler. Its much more appealing to the eyes.
Happy someone finally told me the temps of all the other components. Both my CPU and GPU are cooled with an AIO and i have the G10 Kraken bracket and it brought my temps down significantly.
Would be interesting to see the same test with the numerous temperature readings; checking the difference between a normal Full Cover waterblock versus the stock aircooler.
Are you going to go ahead and dremel the front plate and rerun the tests to see how it effects the temps? I would love to see if it helps or hurts.
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.
@@drsavanflou8781 I used a copper shim to fill the gap. The only issue is the transfer of heat is hindered.
I like your production because even when you messed up with the tabs, Editing Jay cleared it up, and all was good. Many content creators would have not edited it, or just scrapped the video.
I had my 390x hooked up to the NZXT G10 and an H55 and that thing ran super cool. What was a nice find was XFX had a separate metal fin array that screwed on the power delivery instead of using thermal pads that touch the fin array on the heat sink so I was able to leave that screwed on so the fan was pretty effective on cooling.
Glad you chose the graphics card with all the sensors. I didn't thought the memory cooling would be better. In my experience it got worse with a similar unit but passive cooled mem and vrm. But wait a minute... the 1080 hit over 2100Mhz, that's pretty high!
If you want awesome vram cooling, you could always put some tiny heatsinks on the components. At that point it would probably give a full block a run for its money.
The song playing in the background around 3:30 when Jay is assembling the cooler is Onwards Upwards 2 (French Revolution Remix) by Peter Sandberg. Dunno where the other music is from
Lesson learnt......always check spread before turning on. It doesnt hurt to reapply the compound once again. Thanks again Jay
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!
When you hear the beep in the song and look down at your comp because you think its your own PC... xD
I thought I would look at my PC and see something about to catch on fire
this is the most pc builder comment ever. love it.
watched this vid 2 years ago, can't believe i was still excited when jay mentioned the giveaway, hahaha
Great choice of music while disassembling! and great video Jay ;)
Whoa man i havent checked out your videos in a while and one word: AMAZING. You improved so much! I learned a lot about hardloops from you man, love from the Netherlands (L)
I have the older much uglier version of this, works great but I ran into the same problem you did. couldn't figure out why my PC kept shutting off after a min of use lol.
I saw a video when someone put a copper shim in-between to remedy tue issue. Just had to pit a paste in between.
@@gagongflip389 could you link the video? I need to figure out which thickness copper shim to order.
@@liberalminded1 Depends on how many thousands the gap is
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.
Hope you see this, man. Easiest fix for people who run into this issue.
^this
I'd prefer using the Dremel. Using a shim is not the most ideal solution. It works but yeah.
doesn't affect temps much and easier than cutting, especially for someone who doesn't already own a Dremel so it's a good solution for those not exactly comfortable cutting with a rotary tool (and hoping to avoid voiding any warranties)
using a shim is best solution but make sure you put thermal compound on both sides of shim, btw iam using a shim with my 780ti, kraken g10 and aio cooler.
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.
the quality of your videos is just so much better dude!
The VRM and Mem temps could also be lower due to less heat transfer from the GPU core since it's running a lot cooler.
@Salt Maker but the video had lower temps for those components. How are they suffering?
@Salt Maker so motherboard VRMs and system RAM. If you have a decent setup those don't overheat anyway. How much do they suffer?
@Salt Maker ok, care to elaborate then?
@Salt Maker You said VRMs and RAM suffer from using this Frankenstein kit. You said not the ones on the GPU or motherboard. Which ones then?
@Salt Maker You were the first to say VRMs and RAM suffer. I replied that the video showed lower temps for those components (VRM and VRAM) after installing the liquid cooling kit. You then said you weren't talking about GPU temps, when I brought up those component temps, not core temp.
If the video demonstrated lower VRM and VRAM temps, how do they suffer? Calling me dense isn't contributing to this discussion.
dope music. Just a little bit too loud. A little softer and it would've been perfect.
I've been running an antec 920 with its original hoses and replaced the stock radiator with an alphacool monsta 140 radiator attached to Nvidia gpus using the NZXT bracket since 2012. It's been flawless. Always cool, super silent. Amazed it's worked so well for so long . Way more efficient radiator then any stock all in one
I've been waiting so long for a good video on this topic thank you!!!
Hey there Jay, been binge watching all your videos and working on doing this set up to my 1080 as well. Would you recommend using micro heat sinks for the Vram in conjunction with this set up or is it even necessary? Thank you for all the hard work that you've put into these videos and because of them, they have given me the confidence to build the rig I'm currently working on while I'm contracting out here in Iraq. Cant wait to see the new studio set up!
Yes its very important or those VRAMs will toast in sometime
Hey Jay, you don't need to remove the mid plate/back plate or use a dremel. Just add a copper shim to raise the surface contact level high enough. I did this mod a year or two ago with a kraken g10 and an evga gtx 980 ti classified.
The evga gtx 980 ti classified has the 4 tabs on the front plate just like the card Jay is trying to cool in this video. 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?
tbrayden3 can you do a video on how to do this please
@@Alibaba-le1ru It's just a piece of copper. Put it between the gpu and the water cooler, and the heat will go gpu -> piece -> coooler, making it be dissipated. Remember to put termal paste both in the copper/gpu contact and the copper/cooler contact, for better results.
Thanks. I've had the same questions about these coolers for a while now.
I just did this update and let me tell you I was about rage until I watched your video and saw you were getting the back screen as well. This Video helped a lot thank you.
Thanks for the information, i went out and bought a Corsair H55 and the G12 for my RTX2070, the G12 dosn't say 2070 is compatible but i saw some comments about it in another video and i took a chance, i went a bit overkill and bought two Noctua A25 fans and slammed them on the radiator and a adapter so i was able to connect them to the gpu.
The MSI RTX2070 Armor on the stock cooler sounded crap and was up and sniffing on 80c with some OC, after the change the gpu dosn't go over 60c, the OC boost to around 2040mhz and the memory got a 600mhz OC landing on 15200mhz.
I plan on doing the same thing. Just made a build with 9600k waiting on the 2070 super was trying to decide on closed loop or not.
@Daviteck AMD bracket. A lot of 2070 have differences, mine is a MSI Armor 8G wich has a massive PCB.
One more thing, if you use the AMD bracket a Corsair H80 is to big to fit...sitting here with a 100$ AIO i have no use for :D
@@ImDembe Seeing as you responded not long ago, I was hoping for some help. I have an EVGA 1080 TI SC Black with the G12 Kraken, attached to a Fractal Design S36. I have the mini pwm attached to the S36 pump header, and the 92mm Noctua I have is now on a motherboard header since I believed the splitter to be the problem. I still have no control in MSI Afterburner or EVGA Precision OC. Have exactly do you have your headers wired? Should my fans not be connected to the pump and I split it among 3? I have another Deepcool 10 fan hub coming in, and I'm hoping to fix this, but rebuilding this thing and cable managing is dreadful at this point. Any help is appreciated.
@@NPurvis7622 Not sure how i connected the 92mm fan, probably to one of the chassi fan 4-pins and ran it at silent speed (like 50-60% might have used the rpm lowering adapter that comes with the fan), the fans on the radiator i bought a 4-pin pwm to mini 4-pin pwm and they went straight in to the gpus fan header, the pump was connected directly to the psu via a molex adapter so it ran on full speed all the time.
Good luck.
@@NPurvis7622 I used a www.amazon.com/Phobya-PWM-Adapter-Graphics-Cards/dp/B01EUZD854 to connect directly to the gpu.
That adapter shouldent be hard to find somewhere els if you don't live in the states.
Eyo Jay, but what were the fan speed percentages/RPMs?
and noise
JAY, Thank you for putting so much into the Channel!
I have recently built a Hackintosh media server and learned so much from your channel (general knowledge)
I have a kraken on the cpu! 3 kids and lots of disney content meant the media server came first..
My next build will be a gaming build :)
Would love to see a current or annual series on your recommendations/how to do a custom loop build
THE FUCKING SOUND YOU HAVE AT 2:25 SOUNDS LIKE A GOD DAM CASE SPEAKER, I THOUGHT MY PC WAS DYING!!!!
Case speakers? Wait, what year is this? Have I gone back to 1996?!?!!!!
discostoo dude, that hair. It confuses me
not everybody has enough money for fancy mobos.
I have a $60 lga1151 gigabyte B150 mobo.

anyone else hear that beeping?
Took my headphones off because I thought it was my PC.
It was the music
I was gonna make that comment, but then I thought it'll be too much work. Thanks for making the comment for me instead. Now I'm not in the "silent minority" since I replied to a comment about a comment I was going to make.
Thanks... XD
i was starting to think my media server was restarting randomly.
Beep Beep im a sheep I said Beep im a sheep
I have a couple of G10s laying around that I used for my 670s a few years back. Worked pretty good, though I did have to get extra fans to cool off components on the I/O side of the pump due to the way that card was built.
So glad I found this video Jay! Somehow I wasn't seeing it searching for "Kraken G12".
I put this on my Zotac 1080 Ti Amp Extreme and was worried about the VRAM and VRMs but I'm happy you found their temps actually were lowered.
With this and a Corsair H90 I have actually been able to hit 2126MHz and stay there. Even my VRAM is at 12.2Ghz.
2126 up from what ? how much % more fps did you gain ? thanks
No notification's needed. I'm always on RUclips!
lmao i watercool my stuff by urinating on it, easiest way and the oldest trick in the book
Like in the first world war when you ran out of water and your vickers was overheating.
chicks dig the pungent odor, too. Every time I've invited one into my room, she faints in what I can only surmise is an overload of visceral attraction. They always disappear shortly afterwords though. Guess they just can't handle my concentrated manliness.
60% of the time it works every time.
would that book happen to be "the art of the deal" by any chance?
While in a light infantry unit doing my commo thing I broke down from engine overheating, and only had so much water, so I drank it, and then fixed the low coolant issue about 30 minutes later. Wish I could have seen the look on the mechanics face when he popped the cap, I bet it was super malodorous. Haha good old pee.
I recently got and installed the kraken G12 on my 1080Ti FE which was always running at 90C during gaming sessions, now when gaming or benching my temps are around 47-49C, and around 30C idle. I was lucky that I had an older 240mm Arctic cooler laying around un-used which fitted into he G12 perfectly. I wish I would have heard about the G12 bracket years ago.
great to see that the vram heatsink/thermal compounds are unnecessary purchase when doing this mod. Definitely saves some cash
+jayztwocents is it better to buy reference cards for water cooling like a ref evga 1080ti or wait to get the ftw 3 and water cool that?
Christian Jimenez I'm curious as well.
Bit late, but it does not really matter temp-wise. If it was me i'd get the cheapest.
As someone who found a ftw3 for cheap get the FE.. I want to watercool it but thats proving to be a bit of an expensive task unless i try something like this bit haven't seen many results online
I'm deeply into the montage track at the 4:00 mark... God, why don't you include track names with your videos... I need this song...
The super string heavy ending was a bit cliche, but the bass riffs were fire
I really like this solution, you could actually buy this once and use it with almost any card - and it's great for us with cards that don't have a waterblock available.
Did this with an X41 and the G10 with my 980 Ti FTW which also has a backplate and VRM cooling plate. To solve the gap issue without permanently altering my card, I used a 25mm X 25mm X 1mm copper shim. Worked like a charm.
Every time i hear that beep, I keep looking at my pc
same
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 😄
no issues with the stock baseplate, lots of room for the cooler head 😉, just a little cut on the shroud for the pipelines .
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.
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 👍
Been running for 3 weeks now without any problems, what I know of.
Update on temps, when gaming SWTOR for hours, GPU temps max are 45¤c, Power temps max are 55¤c.
I use a square copper shim. It sits between the die and liquid cooler. Works extremely well.
@JayzTwoCents Jay, you can also add a gpu copper shim between the gpu die and the heatsink. No need to use a dremel or remove the backplate. You can get a 20 pack for 8 dollars on amazon.

@@kirk1betzina YuuP
I’m questioning getting one because the reviews on Amazon are really bad, also would this even work on my 3060 ti?
There's really no point at all in watercooling a 3060 TI, sad to say. Unless you're rocking a 80 or 90 card watercooling is just overkill. Focus on getting better airflow in your case :)
So I did this same thing to my EVGA 1070, and I looked up some other videos and one person recommended a copper shim to put between the GPU and the AIO. So I did that and it works great! I don't have one of the new EVGA cards that tell the Vram temps though so I cant say what my temps are with leaving the base plate and back plate on, but the GPU works great and looks really good!
My EVGA 780 Classified also had that problem with Kraken G10 bracket. I didn't modify the baseplate as that would have voided my warranty. I used a copper shim with thermal paste on both sides and the temps have been great. 47C for the GPU and 52C for the VRM while being very quiet.
This highly recommended if you have a reference card.
i used it on my 980ti msi variant and it runs so cool that it actually improved performance.
At 2:25
"...also cooling those components as well-- *beep*"
me: *anxiety*
Seriously though, that sound is scary for someone with a new rig.
I once heard my PSU beep for 5 straight seconds well, the damn thing took my whole PC with it to its grave. That beep is truly terrifying, it usually means you fucked something up.
great video jay! but i think you should do this test in a closed case to see if theres an actual difference in temps! yours doing this in open air so I'd assume that it would be way cooler!
Tempperatures on the PCB came down because the GPU wasn't getting hot and transferring heat through the copper traces with it now running so cool.

Really? Why waste your time with a liquid cooled physical GPUs when you can just *download* a liquid cooled GPU?
I probably laughed at this harder than I should have.
Kalumrai Go to downloadmoreram.com
I'm confused.
Waiting for the "You can't download hardware" guy to save the day
Yeah, there are a lot of liars out there.
Editing Jay needs a raise. Awesome video 😎
I can confirm that you can retain the front and backplate on the msi 1080ti with this setup and zero modification. Thanks for the video, I'd add an affiliate link for the black version of the g12 as well.
Two years later, I'm watching this video for the first time and realised I have the keyboard Jayz advertised here. Promo so good that I got the product before watching it
Illuminati is real, folks
1:23 BEEP!
Oh sweet! I didn't know they made an updated version! The downside is that those Vega cards look stunning.
I really like the water cooling system, looks great too!
"And then you have this Blan.."
Seriously can't believe this is the only comment about Blans.
I could never fit that fan in my case lol
Had an old 980 ti hybrid kit sitting around. used the aio cooler on a founders edition 1080 ti to essentially accomplish the same thing in this video. Stock blower fan cooling memory and power.
Great video, I was looking for an alternative to a expensive gpu block. This verifies I can just slap a cpu water block on it. (I think). Then use an extra 120 mm fan or maybe even the gpus old fans to cool the other parts. Or heck even a aftermarket air cooler.
EVGA Hybrid > Better than any other Hybrid kit :P
EASY WAY:
Put in cold water.
While looking at this specific build elsewhere online, they tell you to purchase a metal shim if you keep the card "armor" on.
Thought I'd mention. W/ the shim it works fine.
When putting the Kraken G10 on my EVGA GTX 980 Ti Classified, I used a 1.0mm thick heatsink copper pad shim to go in between the block and gpu die because of the same problem with the faceplate. Works great!
What ever happened to the rest of this review?
Why are there random beeps in the background?
Example: @2:25

It's next door to Austin, same building different unit.
I literally just put an EVGA hybrid on my 1080Ti and NOW this video comes out
phenomenal
Love these 4K vids, keep it up.
I miss tech talk :'(
easy way: just buy one that is already installed.
omg Jay I was checking online for this same exact problem because I use nzxt g10 on all my gpu's and never considered what it does to vrm and memory. My gpu doesn't have any built in sensors, but I did use my non-contact digital laser infrared thermometer and saw that the temps were fairly low around 55c. I wanted to know what the temps were with a heatsink on because I thought they were cooling the components better, but that's wrong. Thank you for doing this video.
i'd love to see a 120, 240, and 280 rad to see how much temp i'll be getting. Anyway thank you for the video as it provides an ample information on the gpu temps.
Doesn't exactly *look* pretty though.
Mugeno_o I think it looks really unique. kinda dig 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.
considering how quiet good air coolers are on modern cards I don't see the point of this.
Same here. I have the Zotac AMP 1080 and it hardly ever ramps up on the fans.
Bryan T Noise isn't the only thing watercooling can improve. Temps are pretty much the main reason, and it may also allow for higher clocks. Not all cards come with the best air coolers, either
slipknotboy555 very true
what if you have Founds Edition GPU with Turbine design ?
Solve the cooling problems by buying a Zotac 1080 Ti AMP Extreme.
It's fans are amazing and it's a beast of a card. Fairly expensive, but worth the money.
Loving the tunes Jay :D
You can also use a copper shim with TIM as an interface to keep the back/face plate on
why did they skip the gtx1060 and rx480
TVCH LORD they did not do that. What makes you think they skipped the most popular GPUs out there.
theyre not listed on nzxts website description
Check the G12. It list both those cards
Always weird to get here early

i did it to my 1080ti with a Thermaltake Water 3.0 240mm AIO... and the result was awesome!... I put some heatsinks over VRMs with termal glue!

I live in Qld Australia and we get an average of 30 deg C year round, humid to say the least and in my Garage I have an office set up which of course I run games also, anyway cutting to the chase, I have a Ryzen1600X which has always run on a H100i V2 from Corsair, my MSI RX580 has always run hot so I decided to cool both CPU and GPU a bit more by shifting the H100i to the GPU using this NZXT G12 set up and getting a H115i for the CPU, all fitted inside a Cooler Master Pro 5 and WOW!!! what a Temp drop on both!! at Idle the GPU is sitting at 28 deg (1 deg higher than ambient) and running some heavy games the CPU gets to @ 50 and GPU to @ 55, both used to get to 70 + so I would say I have had a 20 deg reduction on both CPU and GPU.
Anyway, after watching this and other videos you have done I made the leap :)
Full water cooling loop will be my next step, but I think I will got Threadripper and a bigger case, keep up the good work!

Him picking apart the card gave tremendous anxiety.
I think you missed a word there

Anthony Diaz this is why mom doesn't fucking love you!
Thank you Jay for choosing a 10 series card to test liquid cooling. Keeping up with the times as always.
Previous standard on motherboards were slot cpus, like todays pci lanes..
I hope there will come a change where cooling a gpu and exausting it with a large fan becomes as nice as cpu tower coolers
