Kraken g12

[ChrisZH]

I have an Asus rog Strix RX580 and I’m thinking of getting the kraken g12 because this hits about 76-78 on heavy loads in games. I do have a crossfire setup which is why the heat is high. Now I’m wondering if I could mount the g12 on my Asus rog Strix, or maybe change and put it on my msi gaming x RX580? Will it fit on there properly? I know the rx480 and RX580 are the same but idk if it will fit

I wouldn't do it at all personally, those aren't bad temps.

 

You only really need to start worrying if you're doing into 90+ during regular use.

The ROG Strix cooler is practically the best air GPU cooler on the market

When I had just a single card my temps never got higher than 50’s. Maybe I’m just paranoid because of it. I know it can hit 87c before it throttles. Just don’t like seeing temps higher than 65c

You can use MSI Afterburner to set a more aggressive fan curve if you're that concerned about it.

 

If you can change the spacing of the cards too, and make the gap between them wider, that would help decrease temperatures as well.

I'm going to assume you're seeing this problem on the top card.

 

Either way, there's no real cause for concern or even investing into liquid cooling.

How could I space them out a bit more? The next slot is too close to bottom of case

I guess there's no real way to do it, then.
