I already made a topic asking about specific coolers and the conclusion was kind of "it doesn't work for Gigabyte GPU" but i somehow don't really believe this wouldn't work with an NZXT kraken bracket for example (with some CPU AIO)? And why wouldn't it? And what other options do I have with this GPU?

Hey just after some help. Yesterday I took my Kraken x62 280mm AIO and stuck it on my 2080ti via the G12 mount. I went back to air cooling with the DH15 for the CPU which I have had in the past. New GPU temps are amazing as it was a blower card and ran hot. Anyway to the point. Problem is I am still on my h500 case. Everything is a bit stretched and cramped. I am looking at the P500a. What I want to do is have the x62 up top and run down to the GPU. I am hoping the distance wouldn’t be too far considering the gpu core is closer to the back of the case? The other thing is, is there plenty of room for an x62 and the DH15S (with dual fans so it’s basically non S now) above the motherboard? Thanks for any help/insights!

Hello Community! Long time viewer but first time poster. I have a XFX Radeon RX 570 XXX Edition 8Gb GPU that I purchased in late September of 2019. Due to thermals, at the time, I had undervolted the GPU to pull around 70W - 80W. I recently purchased a NZXT Kraken G12, NZXT Kraken X53 240mm and a Mini Heat Sink Kit. Prior to the modifications, the GPU would run at 70*C - 75*C while gaming but now runs at 50*C - 55*C. Despite the amazing drop in temperature, I now have some concerns about the Mosfet thermals and power consumption of the GPU. After taking off the original heat sink from the GPU, I replaced the thermal pad that was covering the Mosfets for the VRMs with the Mini Heat Sink Kit. There were no thermal pads on the VRMs after taking the heat sink off, which I confirmed was apart of the GPUs original design. First concern, is the Mini Heat Sink Kit dissipating the heat from the Mosfets as efficiently or possibly better than the thermal pad connected to the original heat sink? The reason I ask this is due to no where on HWiNFO64 does it state Mosfet temperature. Second concern is my GPU now draws 100W - 150W of power while gaming. The TDP of the GPU is 150W so I am concerned that I am hitting its limit and sometimes even exceeding it. Is my GPU in danger? Third concern is I have a Corsair 650W PSU. Will this PSU comfortably power the GPU? The GPU in paired with a AMD Ryzen 7 2700 8 core CPU. Any insight pertaining to my concerns would be most appreciated.

Hi, I won on ebay a palit 1080ti GPU that came with a g12 adaptor and Corsair H55 pre-attached. I've since replaced the H55 with a Kraken X53 as well as attached 2 Notua NF-F12's to the rad for cooling and reducing fan noise. During the process I was also able to connect up this adapter to the GPU, so I can see the fan speed present on the GPU - vs plugging the fans into the motherboard (which seems to be how the previous owner had it). Cable chain for my set up I've attached the adaptor to my GPU. Attached the 4 pin splitter cable that comes with the Kraken X53 to the adapter. Attached the fans to the splitter cable (I didn't use the 4 pin extensions that came with noctua). Since powering up I can see the fan speed is around 1100 RPM and 20 degrees Celsius when I check either HW Monitor for windows or Psensor on Pop OS (I run dual OS), which is a step in the right direction. However If I attempt to create a custom fan curve where my fans run at lower speeds or even off before 40 degrees, my fan speed doesn't change. It seems 1100 RPM is as low as they are prepared to go even though I don't need them running so loud/ the gpu so cool. I can confirm that if I increase the fan speed however, then the fans speed also increases. The issue seems to be going lower. I've tried connecting things with a Y adaptor from noctua or switching the fans for the stock ones that come with the Kranken X53 but nothing seemed to make a difference. I can't decrease the speed or turn off the fans at low temps. I have a feeling it may be the GPU adapter but I would have thought it just wouldn't power the fans if there were an issue as opposed to fixing the fan speeds. Can someone confirm if there is something else that I might have missed, that's the reason why I can't drop the fan RPM? Let me know if you need any further information about my set up in order to help and I'll do my best to provide what I can.

Hello all, I may be a bit of an NZXT shill but I continue to prefer the clean aesthetic of their hardware over the rest the competition. I'm working on a new build and I'm wanting to watercolor my 3060 on an AIO. While I know it's not necessary to watercolor a 3060, my fans make a very distracting rattling noise every 30 seconds and I really don't like the looks of the GPU itself. I bought the NZXT G12 bracket without realizing there's no good options on 120mm aios. I've seen options from a previous post here about the same thing however the coolers listed were discontinued and are no longer available new. While I understand buying used can be a good bargain I've had issues buying used before and would just prefer to buy new and have a warranty. Does anyone have good recommendations on new 120mm aios compatible with the G12?

I'm in the midst of a fairly ambitious build (for me). A 3950x system to split the difference between my hobbyist 3D rendering/simulation and casual, top tier gaming. It's largely going well, but as a first timer with all in one coolers (I've used air up until now) I'm trying to break into it in a big way. There are great options for CPU's, and certainly I'll be using a 360mm for the 3950x, but I also want to REALLY get in touch with my enthusiast side and not leave my 1080 ti out of the fun. A carryover from my OLD system, it's far from outdated, but a facelift with the G12 bracket for AIO cooling wouldn't go amiss... And while I delve deeper into the mouth of madness, a 360mm to MATCH as well. Overkill for a GPU? Absolutely... Don't talk me out of it, I'm too jazzed to back down! Of course, I've almost given up on the notion of using the SAME 360 model for cpu and gpu. A Kraken x72/73 would work, but everything I've heard about Cam software discourages me. Deepcool is great, but not an Asetek pump. Corsair h150i is a reliable option, but I don't THINK its square, gen6 pump will fit the bracket. I'm prepared to settle for the x72 on the bracket and one of the other options for the CPU (at least the bracket will match the cooler) though again Cam software is my boogeyman. I've heard some horror stories. For one thing, I'd ASSUME the x72 would run without the software for GPU, but also that the Kraken tends to default towards running the pump off FLUID TEMPERATURE readings and not the processor (or gpu in this case) without the cam software specifically allowing you to CHOOSE this option. Or maybe I'm wrong, and the pump plugged into the gpu fan header will take its marching orders from the gpu without question or proprietary software. I don't know, this is why I ask! Heck, is it better to have the pump running constantly off a case fan header and the FANS operate according to relative gpu temps, or SHOULD the pump only run as needed, lest its life span be reduced from constant use? Do any other 360 aio's fit the bracket (aside from ThermalTake)? Any information would be TREASURED, as I'm the sort of guy who REALLY likes to be sure he nails it in one go.

Just bought a NZXT G12 To chuck on my G1 Gaming 980ti I've got a brand new CM Masterliquid 240 i'd like to put on it. But i've got no idea if the 2 are compatible. I've also got a Kraken X61 I know will fit on the G12, but, that is currently cooling my cpu. I'm hoping the CM will be compatible. Hopefully someone can clear this up for me. Cheers.

So I got a really good deal of Kijiji and purchased a 1080ti FE. Catch was that the seller had lost all the screws for the stock FE cooler. It came with the g12 and x42 installed. Card runs with no problems. However I think the cooler is either not doing its job properly or I am expecting too much. I already reapplied thermal paste and no change. Card is idling between 35c and 40c. Load of course is 85c, which is max of GPU Boost. However, it goes up fast and clock speeds settles in at 1600-1700. Pump is set to performance in CAM. NZXT G12 or x42 not as good as reviews lead us to believe? Not sure why, bad AIO? Any ideas?

Hi guys, I'm starting to panic! I've recently decided to upgrading the cooling of my CPU and GPU with AIOs and now I am starting to panic that I won't be able to connect it all together. My issue is somehow I want to have my EVGA CLC 280 in Push/Pull, but since the fans run of a single fan header off the motherboard, this isn't a good idea. Is there any advice you guys could give me here? Now, the harder part which is mainly making me panic: My GPU (EVGA GTX 1080 Classified) when cooled by the stock cooler will hit 82°c while gaming and 92°c while doing synthetic tests. Because of this, I have decided to pull the trigger and purchase the NZXT G12, Noctua 92mm fan and the Corsair H55 for the AIO. My problem is how the f**k am I meant to power it all? Since I want to have the radiator in Push/Pull, that would mean I will need 4 fan headers to power them all, but I want them to run off the GPU fan speed. I am completely stumped on how I can do this. It would be stupid to run them off my motherboard case fan headers. So, please share your experience with using the G12 and how you connected everything. I need as much advice as I can get my hands on. - Joe

Hi guys, I need some advice! I've got a EVGA GTX 1080 Classified, which runs overly warm (82°c while gaming, 92°c+ under synthetic load (Furmark or HeavenBenchmark) so I am going to be installing the NZXT G12 to try and lower the temperatures. My only issue is, I don't know what cooler to go for. I want one from a reputable brand (Corsair, NZXT etc.) and I need it to be 120mm so it will mount in the rear exhaust of my NZXT S340 Elite. I simply do not know which one to go for... I am thinking of the H80i V2 but apparently that does not fit? Not sure on that though. I am also wanting to know if I will need to buy heatsinks for the VRM and VRAM, but I haven't got a clue how I am meant to pull that off. I know I can do the VRAM with some heatsinks and thermal pads of eBay but the VRMs have me stumped. Any help here too? Looking forward to your replies and I am buying the NZXT G12, Noctua 92mm fan and the heatsinks and thermal pads for the VRMs tonight. - Joe

Hi, I recently bought the NZXT G12 and have mounted it to my GTX 1080 Founders Edition. I have overclocked the core clock considerably to +240 while maintaining 49-50c but I am hesitant to overclock my memory as they are only being cooled by a 92m fan blowing directly onto them. It is safe for me to overclock these or am I best off leaving them alone? I am also wary that the radiator I am using to cool this (NZXT Kraken X42) is mounted on the front of my case in a push-pull configuration blowing warm air onto the card which may also contribute to higher than wanted memory temps. In videos by Gamers Nexus and JayzTwoCents they seem to think the cooling is just as good if not better but this was on an open test bench so I'm not sure what impact this has on the temps. Thanks for giving this a read, any feedback would be appreciated.Barnaby

I am looking for a way to improve the temperatures on my gpu and to lower the noise from the fans too. My gpu gets up to the maximum temperature displayed on wattman fan settings which is 85c(I know its safe and everything but the thing sounds like if the computer was ready to fly haha). I already changed the thermal paste for some thermal grizzly kryonaut and managed to get a 4 degree improvement from 89c. I'm running a little bit of oc 1385 mhz on the core and 2025 mhz on the memory, without increasing the voltage. Edit: im kind of worried about the vrms because they have thermal pads that make contact with the heat sink and I dont see that on the NZXT G12. Edit 2: I just noticed that I have to buy a separate NZXT cooler so It rises again the Is it worth it? question

Hey Guys, i´m gonna upgrade my PC soon and there is not everything clear yet. I want to stay with my Kraken G12 cooling solution, and i know that some RTX Cards are Compatible with the G12, using the AMD Bracket. The point it that i couldn´t find any details on which 2080 would be compatible, there are only informations available, that some cards will work. Does anybody know more? Can you guys recommend a specific card? Btw: I am currently using a G12 with Kraken x52 aswell as a noctua 92mm fan for the vrams etc, my gtx1080 stayed in the low 50s under high load overclocked by 350MHz. Thanks in advance! Niels

Hi guys, (I know I just posted this, but I never got any useful replies. So, posting again) I know this may seem a bit out of date, with the RTX 2080 Ti's already being out... But I currently have a EVGA GTX 1080 Classified which my pride and joy... But it has been running really warm since I bought it and EVGA won't do anything because "It's within specifications". The temps are 75°c-82°c while gaming, 88°c during HeavenBenchmark and 92°c during Furmark. (Ambient temperature is 20°c) When I do the synthetic benchmarks, I have all fans running at 100%. My case is a NZXT S340 Elite with 2x SP140 for intake and 2x AF120 for exhaust. I will have them running at 100% as well as the GPU and CPU (Via 212 Evo in Push/Pull). I've currently got a medium OC on my card already (+100MHz core, +250MHz Memory) and it will boost to 2075MHz while gaming and 2050MHZ or lower during HeavenBenchmark. My problem is, I know it will run faster with cooler temperatures because when I start HeavenBenchmark, it will jump to 2150MHz without crashing but because of the rising temps, that falls to 2050MHz or lower. Also, I do have voltage, temperature and power limits maxed in MSI Afterburner (My GPU has weird issues with EVGA XOC) as well as a heavy custom-fan curve. I also have the GPU in the Classified BIOS, which "should" boost the power limit to 130%. Don't know if it does. I've now come to the conclusion that I want to change the cooler. I have already changed the thermal paste twice with Arctic MX-4 but this made no difference in temperatures. I've thought about doing a custom loop specifically for the GPU, but there are no officially supported blocks that I am aware of, and although the 780 Classified will fit, I do not have the money for all the water cooling parts. I also don't have the confidence to water cool, especially when my £500 GPU is at stake. So, I have come to the conclusion the next best thing I can think of is to with the NZXT G12. Only issue with this, I don't know if it is supported, being the 1080 Classified is extra wide because of that 14+3 power phase. If I were to buy the G12, I only have a few questions... Which AIO would be the best fit? I am after a 140mm so I can still use my SP140s I use for intake. Also, how am I meant to cool the memory and VRMs? I'm assuming I get some thermal pads and use some small copper heat sinks, but would that be enough? I know it is going to have active cooling with the fan that comes with the G12 (I'll be swapping that for a Noctua one anyway) but I am wondering, will it be enough cooling for them? If you guys could lend me ANY advise, I'll very highly appreciate it. Thank you!

Hi, I'm planning to get a RTX 2060S graphic card soon and I think I want to water cool it and use this thing : the Kraken G12 Now my question is which AIO, I certainly don't want to use a NZXT one, even if they're considerd good as I will not deal with the crap that is "NZXT CAM" ever again, at least not on my own PC. So which AOIs, preferably with 120mm radiator, are compatible, all of them, none? Which brands / models would you recommend? Thanks.

I am trying to watercool my gtx 1080ti with a NZXT Kraken G12 and a 120mm aio watercooler but am not quite sure if the one I want will get the job done. I was thinking of getting an NZXT Kraken M22 because I already own a NZXT Kraken X62 but it has a pump inside the radiator which according to reviews decreases its performance compared to other 120mm aio's. So the question is if the M22 will be sufficient to cool an overclocked 1080ti or am I better off going with another 120mm aio, and so which one.

Hello, I have a concern about mounting the G12 on my XFX RX 580 GTS XXX 8GB. I heard somewhere online that since the VRMs are not under the fans on the G12, it would not keep the VRMs cool. Is that true and something to worry about? My RX 580 is running quite hot; it is overclocked to 1386mhz, but since I plugged in two other monitors it is running hot. It is either the fact that I plugged in the monitors and its causing extra power draw, or it is because my new cpu is running hot and pulling air into the case. I will be narrowing down that soon - I have an NZXT Kraken x62 arriving tomorrow - but want to look into the G12 anyway. Thanks

Hello everyone I have 2 Auros 1080ti video cards and I was going to purchase 2 NZXT G12 brackets as well as 2 NZXT Kraken X42 AIO watercoolers also was going to use the Auros High Bandwith SLI bridge (2 slot spacing). I have been searching all online for about a week now and I am unsure if I can configure Sli with them. Does anyone know if this SLI setup would be able to work? or would the G12 bracket be to large for it to work with SLI? I would really appreciate any feedback from anyone familiar with the G12 bracket. Thank you.

Recently, I have bought the EVGA CLC 120mm AIO Cooler in hopes of cooling my 1080Ti so there would be more drops in the cards Mhz as well as being quiet. Even though it EVGA CLC 120mm Aio is not listed as compatible with the Kraken G12 mounting kit, It was the only one up on amazon and I coudln't wait any longer for the Corsair H55 to go back in stock, so I just went with it. I got the AIO, installed it on my card while also putting aluminum and copper heatsinks on the VRM/VRAM. I booted up and temps were sort of normal, could idle anywhere between 28-35c when it was downclocked to 600mhz. I booted up Heaven 4.0 to compare my results with another person who had the same setup (in reference to GPU, Hose orientation, and radiator placement, and airflow) but with the H55, a 120mm aio just like the evga clc 120. When the test was done I was completely unsatisfied and disappointed. He somehow got a max temp of 48c to his card when the benchmark was complete, while I got a max of 66c, people may be happy with a temp like that but im not, i should be getting the same temp and same performance as him with an 120mm AIO. But thats not it, he even outperformed me by 100 points at the benchmark at a higher clock. Do you know the entire system he was using and exact card? His exact card was the EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Founders Edition 11GB GDDR5X 23.21.13.8831 (The exact same card as mine) and was using the i7 8700k at 3.7GHz while I have a i7 7700k at 4.2GHz, but still, that does not explain a 20c difference in the gpu and performance. His platform was Windows NT 6.2 (build 9200) 64 bit. Did he use the standard test or change some settings? He did not change any setting, his settings are the exact same as mine Render: Direct3D11 Mode: 1600x900 8xAA Windowed Preset: Extreme What drivers was he on? Ive seen scores change just from newer drivers. If he is able to install something as complicated as a kraken g12 and an AIO on a 1080TI, he obviously keeps his drivers to date. His review was posted on September 2018, I looked up nvidia game ready drivers from that timeslot and found a Geforce Game Ready Driver that released Sept, 10th 2018, which was the latest one before Sept 16th, so it is very safe to assume he was using that Driver. https://www.nvidia.com/Download/driverResults.aspx/137727/en-us What room temps/case temps did he have? My ambient temp is 23c in my room, Its hard to believe that his can make a 20c difference even if his ambient is 10c less then me. https://prnt.sc/sqdm7q This is the benchmark with NVIDIA driver 445.87 https://prnt.sc/sqdmxd The "latest" driver 446.14 https://prnt.sc/sqdmhq The amazon reviewers score https://prnt.sc/sqdmrs my score with Sept 10th, 2018 driver 399.24 As you can see, this still does not solve my problem, even though i got a higher score than the reviewer by 41 points. My 1080ti still got up to 66C!!! And his is still 48c, I know i installed everything correctly, from applying thermal paste to screwing in the radiator. I used Noctua's NT-H1 Thermal paste and applied it correctly. But I am not using only ONE persons temps and comparing it to mine, here is a couple excerpts from Amazon reviews from people using the H55 and 1080ti together... "My 1080 TI now sits at idle of 19C in a 72F Ambient Temp room. when I game it never goes over 54C, seriously!!! I even added 125Mhz to the clock to bump it up to 2025Mhz, still it runs 54C, and my FPS stays much more consistent while gaming" "Installed this on a PNY GTX 1080ti (Blower edition) paired with a Corsair H55 in a push/pull config. Running it under full load and it so far hasn't even gotten beyond 45c. " "So I was overclocking my Zotac 1080 ti Amp Edtion and was watching the temps hitting 80+ C on the GPU...Since the installation I haven't seen the GPU get any hotter than 47 degrees no matter what I do!" "it went from the hight 80s C down to 48 C, almost 40 C degree difference. wow i was super happy. i used a corsair h55 with the g12 and they pair up good. " " MSI 1080 Ti Aero here. Silent with no load but becomes a Husquarna leaf blower during gaming. Had to summon the Kraken. In the pictures you will observe heatsinks, GPU PWM adapter cable and Corsair H55. Before: 29C idle, gaming delved into 80s (Anno 1800 in 4K), high 60s and mid-70s (GW2 in 4K) - all settings maxed. After: 24C idle, gaming 50C and 40C max respectively for the above. And this is on stock H55 fan (low RPM non-PWM). " If someone could try to share their mind with this, that would be great. But the only thing I can conclude with this is that the EVGA CLC 120mm AIO is just not right for the 1080ti GPU dye, and is therefore not going to get as good as temps as the H55, an AIO that was designed for the Kraken G12 and works well with the GTX 1080Ti dye. If someone would like to state a different answer, be my guest

Hey Guys! I'm finding it hard to know exactly which GPU's and Liquid AiO coolers the Kraken G12 is compatible with. I know they have a compatibility list(https://support.nzxt.com/hc/en-us/articles/360022412653-What-All-In-One-Liquid-Coolers-Are-Compatible-With-The-Kraken-G12-), but they also mention that they are compatible with almost any referance and non-reference card and most AiO coolers with circular design. Does anyone have enough experience with this to tell me if these 3 parts will fit together?

Hello Folks, First post here. I've got a MSI 1080Ti Amor with a G12 and H55 (Corsair) on it. Only problem is that it's crashing the benchmarks and I'm thinking that the VRMs are getting too hot. I originally decided to take the back plate off as I was having a hard time getting the cooling bracket on it with said plate. It's odd because I've seen the Gamer Nexus review and they somehow figured out a way to leave it on or perhaps they dremmeled it. I used Arctic thermal pads on it (https://www.amazon.com/ARCTIC-4237-Efficient-Conductivity-Handling/dp/B00UYTTLI4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1530258354&sr=8-1&keywords=arctic+thermal+pad) but it's horrible and the heat sinks (https://www.amazon.com/Cosmos-Copper-Cooling-Heatsinks-cooler/dp/B00637X42A/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1530258369&sr=8-6&keywords=heatsinks) AND (https://www.amazon.com/XJS-Aluminum-Heatsink-Diffuse-Cooling/dp/B07DHQ6XFH/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1530258783&sr=1-2-spons&keywords=heatsinks+20&psc=1are) falling off. I basically followed this post -> https://forums.evga.com/Kraken-G12-Install-on-1080-Ti-Fe-with-pictures-m2658723.aspx The card won't make it through 3DMark or Superposition without crashing the benchmark. I'm thinking the VRMs are overheating. The core isn't getting over 40-47 degrees. Got any suggestions on thermal pad etc? These ones by Arctic aren't cutting it. Otherwise I can see the potential in the kit. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
