Finds a screwdriver: "I like these screwdrivers." IFixIt: "Cheater!"

I choose the card that's in stock for a reasonable price.

Water-cooled GPU= out of stock Air-cooled GPU= out of stock

seeing this card sit at 50 degrees is incredible, mine is vibing at 70 most of the time

4% more performance on my GPU. Best 300$ ever spent.

Hope you are feeling better overall. Best to you, the family and the team. Glad to see all y'all back in studio. Appreciate you guys.

I love that with all the growth in PCs, all the new tech, all the custom programs for measuring, modding, etc... MSI Afterburner is STILL something that practically everyone uses.

Needs a tear-down to see where the cooling goes. Does it cover the VRMs or not?

So GLAD Phil is back - Miss his comments and laugh in the videos! Keep up the awesome work guys and Jay - I'm glad you are feeling better!!!

I really enjoyed the look of the camera behind the desk looking back at Jay and the back of the monitor as a change of lighting/background in the middle of the video. Quality content as usual!

Finally, a tasteless (and some say smell-less) JayzTwoCents video. Joking aside hope you feel better.

Hopefully you are feeling better Jay! Thanks for powering through and keeping the content flowing in quarantine!

Jay, you are sounding a lot better. Glad to see it and looking forward to you and your team getting back together again in the shop.

I like the idea of an AIO cooled GPU, especially if there is a decent increase in performance and temps. I don't know if I'd be keen to spend the extra £200+ on it though, AIOs have a higher failure rate than air coolers, It's okay when it's a separate cooler for the CPU but when it's attached to the GPU you'd have to imagine it'd negatively impact resale value and the lifespan of the card

Gravy-cooling beats both. I'm guessing, I haven't actually tested this.

Glad to hear you guys feeling good and that Phil is back in the office!

Just wanted to let you know that this is the ONLY channel that has actually helped me when it comes to building and more importantly - buying. So much thought goes into your builds that it actually changed the way I did all my RGB. I wish I could do the things you do with computers, I have the passion but certainly not the monetary ability.

Me with intel integrated graphics: hmm interesting... Update: I Got a amd R5 240 graphics card on eBay for $15 for my new build with the 5600x

Everybody: Can't find any GPU anywhere. Jay: Here's the 18th 30 series card I got for free this week.

Thank you for this review, it's exactly the topic I was interested in. Glad to see that you're feeling stronger and still have your sense of humor and passion for the reviews. COVID knew better than to mess with you, be well. :-)

In my experience yes. I have the NZXT adapter on a 1080 Ti and it's exquisite! Admittedly my stock cooler was a blower fan but the temps have dropped from over 80'C to 55'C. Plus it can run at 2000Mhz now as well.

I was just looking into this! What kind of luck is this! Thanks Jay for keeping up with the videos. Hope you're feeling well.

I like that the AIO cards can be placed in an exhaust location, so most of the heat just goes out without changing the temp inside the case.

I've been doing AIO GPU's for the last few generations and love them. Did the 1080ti, 2080ti, and now a 6800XT. The thing is that I have a 280mm AIO for my CPU on the front of the case and then have the 280mm AIO for the GPU on the top of the case. This layout has worked fantastic for 3 revisions. I had an air cooled 6800XT and it had 3 fans....it ran a bit hotter than I am used to (Gaming X Trio) but it was a fast card (a bit noisier than I'm used to). The problem is that I didn't have enough exhaust so I moved the CPU AIO to the top....where it didn't want to fit very well...so my option was really to add more case fans which would make the whole system even noisier. The reality is that I wanted to go with an AIO from the beginning, got lucky and found "any" 6800XT (even if it was air-cooled) and got even luckier that I found a water cooled one and was able to sell the first card locally for what I paid for it (it was only 3 days old)....because I'm not a dirty scalper.

Better question, how good are AIO GPUs vs custom water blocks? Sounds more interesting to me as people buy AIOs as they already wanted water cooling but not the time effort.

When I see him flopping around the whole AIO, I cringe. I know it's durable, but it's expensive AF and I'm a delicate person with my components.

My 980ti was my first water-cooled gfx, with an aio, it was from EVGA and I mainly bought it, to get a more silent card, and it worked perfectly, my current 2080ti is fully water-cooled with an EK block, and is ofc also very quiet :D It's a bit overkill considering I don't really OC my card much, but I really just like my pc to be quiet without turning too hot and lowering performance

I'm happy to find every single question in my mind on this channel. Thanks JAyz... really.. thankks...

I recently built a new PC and have seen some other videos you have that have led to top software to download after a build and what to do after a build but what I’m missing is a how to on running the various benchmarks as you do in this video as well as how to interpret the results. This would greatly help your viewers in establishing and understanding a baseline for their PC. Great content!

Am I the only one wondering.... Jay, you feeling better? You have a camera man again, I'm hoping all test are negative and everyone has safely and fully recovered! 🙏

I think a GPU with an AOI makes sense if you want to mount it vertically, when it could be very close to the side of the case, restricting air flow.

This review had me wondering why I wasn’t subscribed. Building my first pc rn and honestly can say I have learned a lot from you.

I love how Jay just throws the radiator on top of the card and calls it a day, then decides to do it properly, so hilarious!

In most cases I would pick an air cooled gpu. I really like a simple appearance of my system and prefer the reliability of air cooling.

TL DR : AIO on GPUs totally worth it ! I had the exact same concern as Jay had XD From my personnal experience, an AIO cooler could gives about 30C+ in temperature reduction when the GPU is at full load which is massive. With this efficiency to cool your GPU, you can either decrease your fans speed for a more silent system or overclock your GPU even more or a mix of both. I'm huge fan of EVGA air cooled and AIO cards.

Thanks for revisiting AIO cooled cards. Been a long time since I felt they were visited

Short answer: yes, it s worth it! Lowers temps, extends lifetime, and makes it virtually silent compared to factory..

Honestly, the aio ones are going to be in stock, so I'll get those.

I do have a concern over longevity being that these are new designs. I've heard of several AIO pumps failing so it's reasonable to wait for long term test results before jumping on board and trying to find one. Depending on the manufacturer and quality of the components, it may be a big gamble on an expensive card when air-cooled or custom loops are already tried and proven.

My main man Jay , you are too kind to announce as many times as you have about the give away ... Kudos to you and all the best to the rest of us :D

dont know if this is recorded beforehand but good to see you guys are doing okay. great vid, keep it up

We have all become very responsible consumers! Doing months of research before we buy our new video cards and amd CPUs. Pat on the back everyone, well done!

Fantastic Jay! Your still healthy! Right on! Excellent video..now I'm going to finish watching it.🏆

Jay looks and sounds a lot better already. Nice to see man!

Thanks for the this review. I’ve been looking at aftermarket AIO kits that have been trickling into the market.

I do love my AIO cards. My 1080ti and now 3090 hybrids from EVGA have been amazing. And yea it’s a very odd call for them to not have a blower on that card for the power delivery I know my EVGA cards do

I think I want that ring to be red. Then I can name the card HAL and every time I try to overclock a step too far and it crashes, it can say, "I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that. You know what the problem is, just as well as I do."

Used to own a MSI 1080 SeaHawk for a decent while and it will forever be one of my favorite cards I've ever owned. I feel that for the price you don't get as much for a Hybrid card but I just love how good of a package it comes altogether and the idea of a 240mm Rad for the GPU alone is insane.

Glad to have you back Jay! :)

Camera is moving again! Are you guys clear now? Stay safe guys!

Seems like this one would absolutely love a few of those 40mm Noctua fans Dremeled into the shroud.

Definitely worth it. The thing about the NZXT bracket is I've gone through three video cards with that bracket it's more than paid for itself at this point so the cost is a null factor.

This testing should be done inside a case. majority of user have a case not a test bench. A case air temp can heat up from the GPU, and a rad sitting on the front getting access to a fresh air may perform even better.

Heh. Every time I see the desktop image of the Thunderbolt II, I forget what I'm watching and just smile a little. Love that plane.

Nice to hear Phil laughing again in the background :D

I had wondered for years why my PC I built the GPU fans never spun up very fast. My GPU Temps were getting up to 70-80° C. Still within the thermal limits but still. After hearing what you said at the 12:30 mark I installed MSI afterburner and played some games, and the GPU didn't get past 60°C so far. Thank you for this important information Jay!!

would love to see more outtakes. PLEEEEAASE!!!

1995 was the year when Finland won The World Ice Hockey Championships first time, never forget! 🇫🇮

I personally love my 120mm aio with the kraken g12 mounted on my 1080ti FE. My stock card was running 82c at full load. With the aio on runs at 55c at full load.

You sound a lot better man, glad you're on the mend.

Thank you for provide this chance to actually get one of those card... Both Green or Red team will work just great for me.

This is comical: do I want the not in stock or the notify me when available

As much as I love 3000 series, I wish the AMD 6000 series got more love and camera time.

Your backdrop looks like when you wear those oldschool blue and red 3d glasses. Looks boss as man!

Great so see you back in superb health!

Just letting everyone know jay tweeted that he was cleared of COVID and was going back to the studio with his staff. Probably will be taking extra precautions too.

Yay, Phil's back in the studio with him. Probably means his COVID infection's cleared up now?

I have EVGA 980 TI hydro and it's been working great for 5 years. Reapplied thermal paste and card runs 60c under full load and overclocked.

Love the first few lines in the video.

The AIO cooled GPU is definitely a plus for gaming. I usually found my 1070TI GPU is a lot noisier and hotter than my 2600X CPU when gaming. My only concern about AIO is leaking issue and lifespan of product.

full coverage AIO are worth it, and in the Vega 64's case, they're paired with better binned GPU. But what really should be done is to cool the entire pc in a "chill-box".

Omg I love the back-to-back double entendres 😏😉

exactly the info i wanted to know about cooling my GPU without doing my own testing. thank you

Couldn’t tell yea, can’t even get my hands on a 20 series let alone a 30 series

I say they are worth it, I've been running an EVGA AIO on my MSI 980 TI for the last 5 years and my temps never have gone over 61°. Not only has it allowed me to me 250/250 overclocked for most of those years I also think it gives the card longevity as low temps is easier on electronics.

Hope you are feeling better Jay!!

The red and blue lights in the background make me feel like I should be wearing those old school 3d glasses

I entered the EVGA step up day of 3080 release. I'm still waiting after 5+ months. That's insane, anyone who signed up after the first day I don't think will literally get a card until after the 4xxx series releases lol, no joke

Its hard to beat the look of the founders edition but this card looks great.

im glad that you are not alone anymore

I like how this looks. Hope i can buy one... someday...

I like AIO cards, but would like to see them use full cover water blocks and thicker radiators.

Can't wait to buy these in 2022.

I have been waiting for someone to do this

Welcome back Phil!

"one wire" literally 2 wires coming out of the fan case

After getting my first AIO GPU this generation I can honestly say I wish I had done it sooner.

love it as he says it going so well then booms ,Gota love Murphy's law!

One thing i would love to see tested, how they do in a case, more importantly one with bad airflow

I’ve lost interest in tech news because nothing new is available. I’m not even in the market to buy this year and I still can’t get into it.

Damn I wish I had temps like that I’m on a GeForce mx150 +240 core clock and + 700 v ram clock

i think its going to be always based on personal preference, and tolerance to ambient temps of your living space. if it's always really hot where u live, or you love to run a lot of heat in the winter an AIO will probably be good for you. If you enjoy keeping a cool house, and don't mind windows open in the winter then air cool can do really well too.

i use that NZXT bracket for an AIO on my 1080ti because I'm an idiot who bought a very cramped case and it's hot in Australia, plus after watching your vid in installing one way back wanted to just see how it went, was happy enough with the result I expect that to be my go to from now on. As for that whole COVID thing, can't really imagine what that's like for people in other countries but sounds pretty bad. good to see all is well and hopefully back to normal soon if not already getting there.

Curious to know how hot the fluid gets. Might be interesting to plumb in a temp sensor into the loop!

My go-to cooler type: air, because there are no water blocks made for the GPU's that I buy.

3:24 "I don't want to break things!" I've seen your videos, you manage to do a fair bit of it for not wanting to.

Welcome back Jay
