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 °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…

Pros
  • Done
Cons
  • Long wait

Kraken G12 + EVGA CL11 AIO + 1080Ti = cooler, quieter gaming

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…

Pros
  • Acceptable
Cons
  • There are nuances

Sorry incompatibility

I don't like searching for a specific company but Nzxt should stop trying to make products that are vague solutions that cater to the majority are suitable. Unless the customer service and/or installation guide become more helpful in the future, this will be my last purchase from Nzxt.

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • I can't remember but there was something

Great for Strix 5700xt

This mount easily attaches to my Strix 5700xt. I installed it vertically because of the sag. If you mount the card horizontally, I recommend using a GPU holder. I highly recommend this card. I've seen the junction temperature drop 20-27 degrees under load. Very happy with the results. (AIO is Celsius fractal + s36 dynamics)

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Some issues

Cooling Computers and Accessories

I have a GTX 1070 G1 Gaming from Gigabyte and it kept screaming and the temp was almost 90 degrees C. I got this and a 120mm Aio from Corsair and my temps got constant at 41 degrees C reduces during the game. nice and quiet now. the assembly seems a little strange, but that may be due to my choice of aio.

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Clarity

Maybe just my application, RX 580

This is special to install on RX 580 and paired with ThermalTake Water 3.0. I read many forums to find out if this would work with my Gigabyte RX 580 and everyone seemed to agree that it would. Okhollllll, let's just say that technically it is. Basically, it doesn't fit the intended direction. I've tried a lot of things, but I didn't want to put a huge damn spacer between the heatsink and the GPU. However, if I rotate it 180 degrees, it stands up just fine. Problems with this method: 1) Your…

Pros
  • Always liked
Cons
  • I won't say anything
