Review on πŸ’¨ Enhance GPU Cooling with NZXT Kraken G12 - AMD and NVIDIA GPU Compatibility - Active Cooling for VRM - Black by Ken Coste

Revainrating 5 out of 5

RX 590 - Phanteks Evolv Mini-ITX

I had an RX 590 in a Phanteks Evolv Mini-ITX case, which under load also with two 140 mm Noctua IPPC 2000 in front of the fresh air intake typically at 75-80 Β°C came . My case seems to have a history of insufficient GPU airflow. I installed a Kracken G12 with a 120mm AIO (push configuration through backplate) and now it's 45-48C on the same stress test. I was also able to set the fan curve for all of the case's fans for near-silent operation. On my particular card, most of the components are designed to be cooled with the included fan on the opposite side. It would be great if the next iteration included ways to swap out the side where the fan was mounted for specific GPUs. Installation wasn't overly complicated and it's probably something that someone learning about this product could easily do. Overall I am very happy with my results!
