I want them to make AIO coolers, then make brackets to attach them to other GPUs. Like the NZXT bracket thing a while back.

[@mactep1]

Still have one of those, wold be awesome if evga made one for the new generation of gpus.

[@ToadstedCroaks]

Especially since the NZXT hasn't been rated or updated to work with anything beyond the 2000 series of cards. People have to do too much custom work on them now to maybe make them fit newer cards ... and questionable partner variants. It's pretty shocking that NZXT hasn't bothered making new brackets, and nobody else has bothered to try either.

[@ProfileUserNumber]

@@ToadstedCroaks if you are going to invest the time and money to custom block your gpu, then obviously you are well informed on pc components and watercooling, why the fuck would you pick a shitty overpriced nzxt asutek aio for that task? The only use case would be to fit the pump in a SFF. Still other better options though. Pre blocked card with an aio, fine makes sense super easy to just buy and install for the average user. But you are going to make a conscious effort to block your card and pick an aio? Really mind blowing choice

[@mactep1]

@@ProfileUserNumber Makes since for a lot of people, where i live water-cooled cards are either out of stock, non-existent or stupidly overpriced and a custom loop is way more expensive, dangerous, and a hassle to install and maintain. The G12 is pretty good, low-maintenance, solution to get a near-silent gpu that runs cooler than stock.

[@ProfileUserNumber]

@@mactep1 way more expensive? Choosing your own soft tube, compression fittings and rad and pump/res and block, would be an extra 100-200 dollars over buying a gpu aio from nzxt. Pre blocked cards with aios only exist for gpus that are flagship or just under flagship, so we’re talking about 2000 dollar graphics cards, if you are making that purchase based off saving 100 bucks that you really really need, you are unreasonable, you should not be PC watercooling. You can also get pre made soft tube kits from Corsair or EK that would be even cheaper than doing your own. In terms of danger, The only danger comes from installing the block on the gpu and removing the cooler. You still have to do that on an aio, and you take that risk for a shitty result. You get a pump you can’t switch out, or even turn down the speed for. You can’t maintain an aio at all, you can’t refill it easily, you can’t expand your loop or change its position or change the fluid. So not sure how a real loop is harder to maintain it’s actually way easier. You don’t do maintenance in a gpu aio you just throw it out when the shit asutek pump goes or the fluid level drops and it stops cooling properly.

Since each USB 2.0 header provides 2 connections, you can also often re-pin devices like this so that two of them share one plug to make full use of the header. They generally only populate one side of the plug. You can just transfer the pins from another device into the empty row.

Do you overclock memory to 21gb form the 19gb speed because in a air cooled card that's impossible. It will overheat, can u actually do hard-core overclocking even with a air cool. I have a hybrid from asus and is a beast but air-cooled cards don't clock as much or sustainable. My card overclock to 2100mhz with a ram speed of 21gb. I have a 3080ti. I also have 450 watt bios from asus. You should disable that 450 bios paying all that electricity for no reason.

I'm not sure why it's not common yet but you can surely buy cable mesh sleeves in any size you want. This kind of sleeve can be expanded a lot to go through a connector. If you want to merge multiple cables into one harness, this is a perfect way of hiding them nicely in a single sleeve.

EVGA stands behind their products. I have a friend who bricked three separate EVGA 3080 Ti cards playing New World and every single time she had no issues with the RMA. EVGA even shipped off the replacement cards before receiving the damaged units from her. EVGA wasn't even at fault for the problems with her card. This was an issue for many new world players who had 3080 Ti cards regardless of who manufactured them but EVGA didn't hassle her one bit. They just put their customer first and took care of her.

The Kraken G12 still exists. You can attach any Asetek AIO that has the Asetek mounting system - Including this EVGA one, per 9:30. (Control is a bit of an issue - the NZXT ones have a liquid temp sensor in the current gen, which is great except you NEED their software running for it all to work properly. I like dumber AIOs with separate pump and fan control and have had good results with CPU AIOs and my EVGA Hybrid by taping a Corsair Commander Pro temp sensor to the inlet (hot) radiator tank and using that to drive fans.)

[@xGEOxSDx]

[@oceanbytez847]

4:40 Well actually you could! An open source fan/RGB software that accepts proprietary profiles as made by the manufacturers yet still consolidates all these different brands into one single control suite. You can have set profiles that function per brand, or have a singular profile that controls everything. Perhaps also add adaptive profiles that only spin up the most relevent fans for certain hardware (radiator fans for CPU, or a side panel aimed at your GPU) that way not all fans respond to one parts heat increase.

[@MrGrimsmith]

I'm with you on the cable side of things, it's one of the reasons I hate RGB. Different reason though, fewer cables makes for less disruption to airflow, means I can get the fans running slower for the same efficiency so the whole system becomes quieter. Thought on the fan shape - if you 3D print a shroud for the fans you should be able to increase the efficiency and remove the gaps. Could be an interesting experiment to demonstrate what difference it makes. I mean, you could also make one from cardboard to be fair but it wouldn't be as cool :) Rather than a screen on a pump top though I'd really like a data feed off it that I can move to an external display. Then again, I run solid case sides for noise isolation so a screen *inside* doesn't do me much good...

I feel you on Corsair. Great RGB fans and coolers, but I have 10 Corsair RBG fans and H150i Elite Capellix pump header. That's 22 cables just for those parts. Then there is the Commander Core that controls 6 of the fans (fan speed and RGB), a Lighting Node Pro (RGB controller for 4 fans) and the fan hub that came with the 5000D Airflow case. Also, it is unfortunate that Corsair devices depend entirely on the iCue software for any custom settings. Without the software, it goes with hardware defaults. Then again, this does protect the hardware from getting bricked by bugged settings.

Meguiars Clear plastic polish works great on shiney plastic, and car dash gauges. NAPA also has a brand of clear plastic polish. Novus is good too, its a three step process though.

one thing i like about corsair software, when you change any setting it instantly applies.

[@thebloxxer22]

6:21 This is why the design decision around the USB2.0 Headers on the Corsair Commander Pro XT Fan Controller is progress toward chain capability. The reason why it is progress is because only one side of the output connection operates.

[@metalfather8139]

Jay the edges of the fans get blocked when installed in top of the case or front by most cases the compact sides when installed pretty much block that side air from escaping. On a test bench all open way different.. but thanks for showing the new cooler.....great hardware

[@chango_monkey144]

jay i wanted to say thank you. i ordered the EVGA CLCx 240mm thanks again sir

[@frristm4301]

Well you forgot Gigabyte AIO with LCD screens @JayzTwiCents 😊

[@ApfelJohannisbeere]

The stuff saved should be showing immediately when one starts the computer as well as going into the bios, since when there is a problem, the troubleshooting would help immensely!

[@pStar58]

I have the original clc240 now cooling a 5700x and it’s 6-7 years old still holding strong and always nice temps only thing I could fault is the fans

[@jackalninezeronine]

I for one love cable management on computers and hose management on engines. I guess I just enjoy making them look complex and awsome at the same time. EVGA could address this by including mesh tubing to tidy up the cables for average joes who don't have the patience to order special parts. Also, YEAH.. Why not use glass or a harder coating on the screen..?

[@samdntr]

Great Vid Jay. I have been very critical of your recent stuff but this brings back old school Jay. Thank you

[@stygianrenegade]

I have a USB splitter using a SATA cable for power support. Works pretty well.

[@sanssin344]

use one of those wet lens wipes they have for glasses if you dont want scratches

[@rumtata]

be quiet silent wings 4 pro with the closed corner areas are awesome for this! switchable to ultra high rpm with 3000 rpm for the 120 and 2400 for the 140mm! will be awesome on this radiators

[@mrbabyhugh]

16:02 i intend to change those fans anyway, BUT THANK YOU FOR THIS INFORMATION, valuable.

[@precycler]

The USB headers are two ports, if you used a single row connectors you could plug two devices into one header.

Jay. Any kind of acrylic, never rub it dry, regardless of the material used! The ONLY way to properly clean acrylic, is with a lightly damp microfiber. Put a dot of dishwashing soap detergent in your cloth (so it dries streak free) and make it a little damp. It's shine, and not scratch. NEVER EVER USE DRY TOWELS, EVEN IF MICROFIBER!!!! I worked in picture framing for 7 years, I'm not talking out of my @$$.

[@LongBarrelJoe]

Evga was already doing aio coolers. This upgrade was already in the planning stage as all other aio coolers start including LCD screens.

[@BigggRoss]

Yeah it would be nice if they included some soft silicon/rubber gaskets pre cut to go on the fan against the radiator to seal those air leakages.

[@LordWiseWolf]

All the different softwares needed for computers is one reason I don’t always buy price to performance but price to convenience.

[@hpamdmonster]

Arctic freezer 2 also only has one single 4 pin pwm plug for everything. And in my personal experience (which is considerable) is the best performing AIO I have ever had the pleasure of using.

[@goldfries]

Glad to see you still using the Taichi.

[@peterpeter5666]

the one thing i love the most with my lian li fans is no wire clutter !

[@MSK-cn8gm]

EVGA Rocks From INDIA. Convey My Message That Indians have Lot of Love in EVGA products . Salute For their after sales support. Amazing

[@BlueBirdGTV]

Forget the round fan cage. I want a slim line or naked fan. The rear exhaust fan blocks too much of the Motherboard to the point I'd rather not have a fan there...Just putting it out there

[@robertbrown368]

@jayztwocents agreed. i have made my own gaskets to keep the air pressure where it belongs on the radiator.

[@1Dshot]

I still don't feel like I'm be comfortable with water cooled anything, but nice to see them branching out a bit after severing ties

[@joshuaeah]

Looks like a standard 480x480 2.1" IPS LCD. You could probably make your own with an Arduino

[@MerkDolf]

@JayzTwoCents braiding the cables make the management look better.

[@kevinbarnard3502]

One way to protect that easily scratched plastic is to spray it with some high gloss clear coat it. Then put a layer of wax on it and buff it out. Obviously, do this before installation.

[@gunguy308]

Ideally yea 1 cable would be great. But even if they did just 1 cable off the pump and allow you to make those other connections on the back side of the motherboard would be better.

[@Alberos]

Don't worry, Jay! You can now set the screen rotation in all 4 cardinal direction using CAM now!

[@BuexxTM]

You could try sealing the fans using hot glue and make before / after comparisons? Would be interesting
