Thanks for the video! I've installed Xtreme III on my RTX2080 Super, now it never exceeds 60C in slightly undervolted/OCd configuration, simply amazing! Almost 20C drop from stock (on EVGA 2080 Super Black). And its completely silent too! I have to mention that by default the VRAM heatsinks interfere with the cooler mounting thing, so I had to dremel some of the fins on VRAM heatsinks a bit (like maybe 25% of the overall fin area). Interesting fact - before the purchase I've asked Arctic support about the compatibility and specifically mentioned the VRAM heatsinks and they said it should be fine...oh well. And yeah, it sags quite a bit so I had to use my broken iPod nano to prop the GPU - at least its useful for something now.

27:25 instead of using the tape you can use the PCB repair resin, and paint it on to the exposed components with a tiny artists brush. You can get it in the colour to match your PCB of the graphics card too, for a neat and tidy aesthetically pleasing finish. You paint it on, use a UV lamp/led to cure it for a minute or so and that's it. Job done. I've seen people using nail varnish to do the same thing too. If you use enough layers and make sure it's a non conductive nail varnish then it should be fine and it dries quick too.

You are correct! It reads the fans as the original blower fan, and will register as lower percentage of “full” capacity - that’s ok!

Hi there Matt, first of all thanks for the videos on both the Arctic Xtreme III and the Raijintek Morpheus II, they certainly helped a lot, now let me ask you this, which of the two gave you the best results overall? I got a RTX 2080 with a blower style cooler and wanted to upgrade it, which of the two would give me the best results? I'm kinda lost here cause the Xtreme III seems like a more polished solution but the Morpheus II on the other hand has 12 heatpipes, maybe if I paired it with 2 noctua 120mm fans it would be even better. Let me know what you think, btw, would it be possible to install a backplate with any of those to help prevent sag? Thanks again.
@MattStephensRich3 жыл бұрын
I’d really recommend going with whichever calling solution is cheaper at the time of purchase, both coolers are very large and provide much greater thermal capacity than the blower cooler. Would probably tilt the arctic option, if only because the Morpheus fan clips are a real pill to try to attach. That plate would help add some rigidity, there are also a lot of graphics card support brackets you can buy as an option to help address sag. With both cards, I’ve just used a simple wooden dowel painted black as support prop, which is worked like a charm.
@goodtimeschan3 жыл бұрын
@@MattStephensRich Thanks for the feedback, I guess I'll go with the Arctic Xtreme III, it's around $62 and as you said already much better than the original blower, the Morpheus II is around the same price, but I would have to spend more on a couple of noctua fans, besides, I've read the thermal tape that comes with it doesn't do much of a good job on holding the heatsinks in place as it tends to fall later on, the thermal cement that comes with the Arctic Xtreme III seems more reliable. I guess $62 for a complete cooling solution is the way to go. About the sag, maybe I'll just use the Stormtrooper funko pop inside my case as support and save a few bucks, lol. Thanks again.

Thank you for the video, I ended up installing this on my 980 ti when my fans stopped spinning a few days ago. Intially I thought every was fine but for some reason my card is still over heating. I tried to run a mild stress test and it spiked up to 83 C and crashed I was forced to restart my machine. My card came with a metal sheet protecting the components so I didnt need to install the headsinks. Any idea why this could be overheating even after replacing the fan?
@MattStephensRich4 жыл бұрын
Double check that you used the right standoffs, and the cooler is making proper contact with the GPU die. Any gap between the cooler and GPU can cause these temperature spikes. (I accidentally installed the wrong standoffs with this cooler, and ran into a similar problem). Let me know if this works!
@bigtime3164 жыл бұрын
Did you fix your overheating problem? Because I too have the metal sheet that covers most of the card minus the gpu die.
@GeekyGamer1674 жыл бұрын
Typically what happens with those kinds of base plates is they prevent good contact with the GPU die, and as such you aren't really getting cooling. I'd suspect that's the case with your issue
@MattStephensRich4 жыл бұрын
Indeed, getting good pressure and having the base play properly torqued is a critical step.

@@HAL_-sg1up You'll do very well, especially if you're putting down the anti-static tape. :) And if it's giving you too much grief, just skip the VRM heatsinks and tape, and stick with the main cooler (as simple as a CPU cooler swap). TBH, I don't *think* the VRM coolers offer that much more cooling, or at least vs. having the fans blowing directly on them already.

@@MattStephensRich Thanks for this video. I have a related question for you. If I switch using thermal tape instead of the glue, could I just lay a wide strip of it over the VRMs (similar to the pad on the stock cooler) and skip the anti-static tape install since the thermal tape should keep the heatsink from bridging connections?

Thermals peaked around 65 with the cooler, down from 80-90 at load. That being said, this dumps A LOT of excess heat into the case, so you’ll need to step up your case fan game too.

I build it today with help of this video. It was smooth, no problems at all. I changed it because I have MSI gtx 1080 ti armor and stock cooler is baaaaadddd. Now temps in games are below 60C°, very nice product and silent. I can run it at 100% fan speed and silent. Chears. :) Thanks for help. I was bit worried when I was tightening the 4 screws, it seemed to be no contact with gpu die and main block with thermal paste on it, but everything is fine. Perfect happy with cooling and noise. Would recomend to anyone.

@@MattStephensRich well let me rephrase that, you talked about the vrm heatsinks like the other vrm's didn't need them. Without heatsinks vrm's are less efficient and prone to overheating and eventually failing over time
@MattStephensRich4 жыл бұрын
If you’re not going to overclock, you are honestly probably ok. The other thing that also bear in mind is you are having a new, direct airflow over the VRM’s, rather than having them smothered in only cooled by thermal pads with the original blower style fan. This often gives ample cooling to have the VRMs be happy. Think about motherboards as well, there are many motherboards out there that support overclocking that do not have VRM heat sinks; well these boards probably have a lower over clock-ability than a higher end board, it still stands to reason that not having heatsinks is a death knell. TL;DR The new added cooling with the fans is most likely very adequate to cool the chipset
