Review on 💨 Enhance GPU Cooling with NZXT Kraken G12 - AMD and NVIDIA GPU Compatibility - Active Cooling for VRM - Black by Gregory Chaitanya

UPDATE: I've added heatsinks to my VRM and VRAM and those temps have also dropped significantly, AT LEAST 10 degrees on each of the temp sensors on my card. During gameplay at standard speeds, only one of the temperatures can reach 70 degrees. The rest are between 60c-65c. This is a great kit but I also wish they had included those heatsinks. It took me several hours to install it on my EVGA 1080Ti SC2 ICX. I wanted to be extra careful with the stupid lack of a GPU, and who really wants to screw up a 1080Ti? The GPU breakdown depends on which card you have. I can confirm that the EVGA CL11 will work with it, although I couldn't find much information on it when making my decision. I don't like sticky foam pads, but they are a must. Make sure you put them in the right place according to your GPU and not what the setup says. The AIO pump separates the bracket from the card on one side, the foam pads should separate it on the other side. The instructions say to put standoffs on the fan screws, but that won't flush the AIO pump on the other side for my card, yours will be different! Check this out! Make sure the foam pads are placed where the board mount will be positioned on the VRM side and that the AIO pump side fits snugly against the mounting brackets that came with the G12 you see on the board installed. I think this is why some people were getting uneven editing which was not giving them the results they wanted. Also, I will buy heatsinks for VRM and Vram. My pace isn't crazy, but it's faster than I'd like. So far, the highest reading has been 82°C at the highest temperature when playing at standard speed. I can't overclock the memory as much as I can with a stock heatsink. I think the heat also causes some hesitation. I have two bottom intake fans blowing onto my card plus a front bottom intake fan. It doesn't seem to help. I would consider this a custom mod and would only do so if you have enough confidence in your computer building skills. Personally, I wouldn't do this with new cards or cards that are still under warranty. I recommend this for 1080Ti owners looking for more!
