I don't know about standard 120mm, low profile 120mm for sure

True, not to say how easy it would be to service when a fan breaks.

for the third party coolers to really happen, then the mounting holes and the board design needs to become standardized

Closest you can get is unfortunately Rajintek Morpheus type coolers and they didn't even sell well enough for people to use them despite their 350W TDP rating or w/e

well, in most cases today, switching coolers around voids your warranty, which puts many people off. but yeah, if GPUs came with no cooler, then there would be nothing to void your warranty.

Eh, if they fail you are most likely going to RMA the GPU assuming it is in warranty. If it is out side that warranty then chances are you are going to get a new card for that generation rather than replace the fans. Though who knows Noctua might make this a full line and then sell replacement fans.

If it's effective, sure why not. I mean the most failures I ever had were the fans anyway I would have loved to have replaceable fans instead of RMAs or buy another card just because of that.

@@EtsuMatsuya i've had a semi broken fan (it wobbles and no longer can go super fast and will ramp up and down if you try to push is past 40%) on my asus strix 2080ti for months now because RMA would be no pc for around 3ish weeks i would LOVE to just pop in a new case fan i could buy anywhere rather than muck about with finding the right asus fan and taking it apart also i could choose cool RGB fans and i would love that

Sapphire has those Quick Connect fans which is great if a fan dies because you can avoid sending the card for a long RMA process. You just get a replacement fan and replace it without disassembling the whole card unnecessarily. I wish more companies would adopt such an approach since just replacing the whole shroud or even the whole card is wasteful if just one fan dies or breaks.

@@ultrawidepcget 2 120mm fans and zip tie it to the cooler :D

@Pierre Lucas he meant it in a good way.

Like the red dead redemption case?

@@sopcannon I was thinking more of a refined modern case. Something to go well with all the Ikea streaming setups 🤣

I remember months back one of the featured pcs on PCPP was like an earth tone build with noctua fans and plants, it was pretty cool

Fuck yeah. Jay needs to go old school with a build that’s just beige, brown, and woodgrain.

They look fine on top of the FormDT1

The heatpipes are what's keeping it at 40. The problem here is that the heatsink wasn't designed for fans like that. If he could double the fin density it would get cooler, until the heapipes' power rating is maxed out. Heatpipes work until near freezing, if you put a heatpipe CPU cooler on an ice cube and turn the fan on it will melt the ice in a few seconds, pulling the heat from the air and dumping it into the base.

@@alexanderm2702 i would use dry ice thank you

@@alexanderm2702 Might be interesting to just slab a resistive load on the cooler and see how much heat it can actually take.

I've discovered the hard way that if you go much past the designed maximum heat input, the temperature rises suddenly because the vapor in the heatpipes isn't able to condense anymore. Heatpipes are misunderstood in this community, and I'm glad your comment is high enough for people to see it and learn from it.

@@pronewbofficial Yep, if the pipes get too hot then it's basically just relatively thin copper conducting heat over longer distance.

check out the rajintek morpheus coolers. They are what you're looking for (minus the fans)

"Careful with that machine, the coolant loop isn't as sturdy as I would like and it's somewhat of a prototype. I wouldn't want to try to fill that again." Looks carefully at the loop. "Huh. Steel pipes? And that radiator doesn't look like anything I've seen before. What are you up to Jay?" "You are holding the first LN2 cooled PC!" "OK, now I know you're either of your meds or bullshitting me. I've seen you overclocking using LN2 more times than I care to remember." "Yea, but that was using a LN2 pot. This time I run the liquid LN2 *in the loop!* The pressure in that thing is hilarious when cranking the voltage and frequency for the the CPU..." Steps away carefully...

yeah me too

You do know Delta Fans are even better in airflow dont't you? Around 150-200 CFM

@@kanutinbonbin okay but when trying to ram air into a radiatior you want static pressure more than you want airflow. It's an obstructed, restrictive path

This is how you get top comment

I mean we already knew that when it comes to air cooling and fans Noctua's products are basically witchcraft.

No sag if you use these fans blowing towards the bottom of the case! Worlds first Hovering GPU! 😁

Hand me that 2 x 4 I can fashion a brace of some sort......

@@P0HTAT0 lmao why am I laughing at this.

@@POLARTTYRTM Because that's not how it works but it would be cool as hell.

@@P0HTAT0 because your comment is just so twisted it unbearably funny and it got me laughing for a long time because of how twisted it is. Imagine coolers powerful enough to hover your gpu. Jesus the noise. It's impossible to hold the laugh back thinking about this.

Back when GPU's had single slot width coolers I stuck a intel stock hsf from a pentium 4 onto a graphics card. Probably my GTX7950 but I can't remember which gpu.

make a pc build with all ryzen cpu stock pc fans haha i know these youtubers have the amout to do it lol

Yup I failed at that, one of my fans nearly took my nail off - bled a lot, broke the fan blade but I was fine... Tldr, don't mess around with 4000rpm 200cfm high powered 120mm fans without the shield on it

@JayzTwoCents I love your water cooling content. I want to see more of it. Maybe updated content. Keep up the great work!!!!

this ought to be an interesting review... especially with the fact I want to get myself a graphics card again. time to see something I can't afford currently but eventually it should be affordable...

@@markdavy6172 who knows when they will be affordable again. It’s not looking good.

I found all aluminum server fans once, 3 amps of 24v. No I didn't buy them. I would like Jay to invest in fan grills, just to eliminate the cringe.

Silence, power, reliability. Those are my priorities, and that means quiet air cooling. Theres a big reason Noctua has been an essential part of my builds for well over a decade. Ive always spent more of GPUs to try and find the quietest model of top tier cards. A 120mm noctua variant would piss on the regular ones. Also, DUST (or lack of it). Have 3x A12x25s as intake (dialed to max RPM just before audible in silence of night), with EVERY hole taped up all over case. Air only exits via 140mm rear exhaust (at low RPM), GPU vent, and PSU mounted fan side up (1050w seasonic in hybrid mode so fan never needs to turn on). The amount of pressure blowing out the PSU & GPU is enough to almost blow out a lighter flame. So both always 'actively cooled' with no fan turning. I have a dog and very old carpet . Heaps on dust, case on floor. Ive left my case cleaning for a year. You should see the amount of dog fur jammed up in the front grille intake. The dust is insane. Open it up? its crystal clean inside. Even though the intake is filtered , old setups still gathered dust internally like crazy. This setup? dust just doesnt settle. Im leving for extra long and im going to do a reddit post to teach people about he effectiveness of positive pressure. Silent & clean. (8700k at 5ghz) (its been the longest time without CPU upgrade in over 20 years - im waiting on Alder Lake.

Just open it and unscrew the PSU fan and replace it. Cut and solder the wires for the new fan and screw it in. Done. Easy as I have done several PSU fan changes. Also I definitely don't recommend people do this as power supply current could kill you

The problem is those annoying custom connectors that I can never find.

Exactly what I was thinking! Especially since he's a car guy too, he should have some laying around. They would look a LOT better than packing tape 🤣.

YES. That's exactly what I was wondering as well when I saw that card.

it wont

@@thqp What makes you so sure? I mean, yeah, it's definitely gonna thermal throttle at some point, but I'm sure you could do it.

@@arnox4554 - just go into the settings and move the fan slider all the way to the right.

I mean its for a good reason. This thing is already 4 slots thick and because most case fans are 25mm thick they take a ton of space

@LabRat Knatz I remember my first oil PC. That was almost 20 years ago. I had the artic accelero as well. Those things worked great and a lot quieter. I might slap that or the Morpheus II on my 3060 to see what it does.

no 2nd and no one cares lol

You can do it to near on any GPU cooler, some have non-flat fins that can change how you mount the case fan but other than that bit of tape to fill in gaps of the shroud, and you are done.

@@wobblysauce Hah! Yeah, it was the life saver of my old R9 280X. Sadly, some models have their fans sunk into the fins, which makes it REALLY annoying to put a normal fan anywhere on it without making the whole card irritatingly thick.

DELTA IT IS!!!!! HELLLLLLL YEAAAAA

noctua has nothing to do with the designe, asus just slapped in 2 noctua fans and put the label on the card, thats all...der8auer made his owne model with 2 slim noctua fans wich looks way better than this mess of a 4slot designe
