1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:05,680
do you cringe because every time you fire up a heavy game you're greeted with

2
00:00:03,439 --> 00:00:09,920
the line of your blower fan spinning up to max blowiematron on your graphics

3
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:15,200
card disgusting well one solution is water

4
00:00:12,719 --> 00:00:18,560
cooling but that's expensive and time-consuming and not everybody is

5
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:23,359
comfortable filling their electronics up with water let's face it we can't all be

6
00:00:21,039 --> 00:00:30,560
complete mad lads oh who's the idiot now fortunately

7
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:35,520
ragin tech has the solution for you this

8
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:38,239
is the morpheus 8057 a huge GPU air

9
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:44,160
cooler that apparently fits both NVIDIA and AMD graphics cards and we are going

10
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:48,640
to give this puppy a shot to see if it's a sizable upgrade

11
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:53,600
over your stock cooler and also if it could be a simpler more cost effective

12
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:58,079
solution than water cooling you know what else is cost effective

13
00:00:56,079 --> 00:01:01,600
telling you about our sponsor glassware with glasswire you can instantly see

14
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:06,400
your current and past network activity detect malware and block badly behaving

15
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:10,159
apps on your pc or Android device use offer code Linus and get 25 off

16
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:13,159
glassware at the link in the video description

17
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:26,960
the basic concept here of strapping a giant cooler to your graphics card is

18
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:29,759
nothing new last year we put a tower CPU

19
00:01:26,960 --> 00:01:32,960
cooler onto an rtx 2080 ti with great results

20
00:01:30,799 --> 00:01:36,720
that is as long as you don't want to install any expansion cards and

21
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:42,720
purpose-built products for this have existed for over a decade

22
00:01:38,960 --> 00:01:45,040
so what's so special about this then

23
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:48,720
when it comes to performance honestly speaking

24
00:01:46,079 --> 00:01:53,520
probably not much in fact region tech appears to have reused photographs of

25
00:01:51,119 --> 00:01:58,240
one of their previous GPU coolers on the 8057 product page but that's not

26
00:01:55,680 --> 00:02:03,040
necessarily a bad thing compared to the relatively i don't know

27
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:06,719
whatever the relatively small cooling elements that are included on many

28
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:11,200
graphics cards i'm expecting a reduction in noise and

29
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:13,200
an improvement in performance out of this thing

30
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:17,680
so really then the new model number comes

31
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:22,800
down to compatibility rather than being stuck fabricating your

32
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:27,920
own mounting hardware the morpheus 8057 includes everything that you will need

33
00:02:24,640 --> 00:02:31,360
to mount to either a reference pcb card

34
00:02:27,920 --> 00:02:33,040
from NVIDIA or from AMD

35
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:37,120
certainly looks pretty nice highlights of the product include the 12 heat pipes

36
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:42,959
so you can see these six over on this side wrap around right

37
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:46,640
there and they terminate right here and then these six over here carry over this

38
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:51,599
way so really each half of this is kind of cooled by

39
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:57,519
half of these heatsink fins it's got a nice black finish on it

40
00:02:55,440 --> 00:03:01,519
definitely a fan of that and it's rated for a total of

41
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:06,000
360 watts of heat dissipation of course it can have wonderful specs and be very

42
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:10,480
beautiful but none of that matters if the performance sucks so let's go ahead

43
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:14,480
and investigate that step one is to install the appropriate bracket the

44
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:18,480
arrows need to point towards these curved heat pipes in the back step

45
00:03:16,319 --> 00:03:22,800
number two after you've determined where the holes line up you're gonna go ahead

46
00:03:20,319 --> 00:03:26,000
and install these standoffs into the bottom of the cooler one of my little

47
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:30,720
tricks is that i actually like to do a dry wipe of chips before i do a wet wipe

48
00:03:28,640 --> 00:03:35,280
with alcohol it can help pull off the majority of the thermal goop before you

49
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:42,000
start just spreading it around holy bananas this is a lot of thermal

50
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:44,799
interface junk to okay

51
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:48,720
wow to raging tax credit they've done you the courtesy of putting little tabby

52
00:03:46,799 --> 00:03:51,519
tabs on one side of some of these so it's a little bit easier to get the

53
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:56,319
things off but this is going to be pretty tedious ladies and gentlemen here

54
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:59,599
we go good luck everybody i have my doubts about this one of the

55
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:04,480
other little tricks that i've learned over the years is to

56
00:04:02,239 --> 00:04:07,680
basically never ever trust a double-sided thermal tape if you were

57
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:11,280
actually going to deploy this for long-term use i would strongly recommend

58
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:15,920
investing the 13 or whatever it is in a high quality

59
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:19,919
thermal epoxy like the one made by tech ingredients

60
00:04:16,959 --> 00:04:19,919
another youtuber

61
00:04:21,280 --> 00:04:26,880
really okay

62
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:32,160
all right let's do the d where the heck does d go this is not a

63
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:35,280
great diagram i believe d goes on the two large chips directly to the left of

64
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:39,440
the man you've got to be kidding me that's a memory heatsink doesn't that

65
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:42,720
just drive you crazy like as an engineering background at this point do

66
00:04:41,280 --> 00:04:47,199
you think this is harder or easier than water cooling oh

67
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:51,759
you're gonna make me answer that are you uh i think that this is

68
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:55,919
similar in difficulty compared to installing a GPU water block

69
00:04:54,479 --> 00:05:01,199
but you don't have to deal with the added complexity of all the other

70
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:04,560
aspects of custom water cooling it's a good question though a valuable one for

71
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:07,680
our viewers to have the answer to hard-hitting tech journalism right here

72
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:11,520
folks here's a hard-hitting tech journalism question

73
00:05:09,199 --> 00:05:15,360
copper is a lot heavier than aluminum and we're using the same crappy adhesive

74
00:05:13,840 --> 00:05:19,440
that i think is barely holding on the aluminum how long will this stay here

75
00:05:17,840 --> 00:05:23,840
you know what's really mind-blowing to me about this is that this isn't the

76
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:27,039
only heat sink that doesn't fit at all the copper one doesn't go all the way to

77
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:31,919
the end of this bank of modules and this aluminum

78
00:05:29,919 --> 00:05:35,600
one is completely different from that other one it's double the width and the

79
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:39,759
fins run the opposite way and it's like twice as long as it needs to be all

80
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:44,320
three of these are for memory chips and these two are actually on two chips each

81
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:48,960
the same number of chips like what am i looking at here

82
00:05:45,840 --> 00:05:50,880
this is the definition of a mix uh oh

83
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:57,120
shoot which one's uh see this diagram is so

84
00:05:53,840 --> 00:05:59,759
shockingly bad two long bars uh go on

85
00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:03,840
like not only the tiny strip of the arms but also the bigger ones right next to

86
00:06:01,280 --> 00:06:09,520
them this just gets more random every time i put something on it

87
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:13,840
i can't okay you got three more huge things to go we're we're getting there

88
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:17,440
no i can't this is so stupid oh there's so many things that should have thermal

89
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:22,639
pads according to nin video there okay well according to ragin tech

90
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:25,919
we ready boys we're going to use their included

91
00:06:23,919 --> 00:06:30,080
thermal goop oh yeah it smells like generic

92
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:33,840
let's just get that on there that should be oh that's uh that's

93
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:36,880
really a lot it won't affect performance but i just don't feel like

94
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:39,840
cleaning up the mess uh huh

95
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:47,520
yeah so these are all gonna have to come off

96
00:06:45,039 --> 00:06:51,360
i just knocked off another heatsink okay yeah we're calling that good

97
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:56,479
there goes that heatsink so we're going to be using our rog machine as our test

98
00:06:54,160 --> 00:07:02,479
bench it's got a 9900 ks and an rg maximus 11 motherboard with 64 gigs of

99
00:06:59,039 --> 00:07:04,880
3200 megahertz cl 14 and the RGB memory

100
00:07:02,479 --> 00:07:08,160
and well used to have an rog strix 2080 ti but we went with the founders edition

101
00:07:06,479 --> 00:07:13,599
because we wanted a pretty good chance of compatibility our GPU was pre-tested

102
00:07:10,479 --> 00:07:15,919
with the power limit slider crank to 112

103
00:07:13,599 --> 00:07:21,280
but without any clock speed adjustments and we'll be pairing our morpheus with

104
00:07:18,319 --> 00:07:26,080
these Noctua nf a12fs to see how it compares

105
00:07:23,199 --> 00:07:31,280
now if pci expansion was a priority we might choose something lower profile and

106
00:07:27,759 --> 00:07:33,759
conveniently the morpheus does include

107
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:38,639
13 uh here we go 25 millimeter it does include brackets for low profile fans

108
00:07:36,319 --> 00:07:42,880
but here's the thing unless you're into high-speed networking or pci express

109
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:46,639
storage the odds are that you don't have a ton of add-in

110
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:49,919
cards so we're going with these because i think

111
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:53,840
it's going to be a great combination of maximum performance

112
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:57,120
and silence as long as you don't mind a little bit of

113
00:07:55,039 --> 00:08:01,840
GPU sag okay looks like these clip on to the

114
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:05,919
bottom here nope it looks like they clip on to the top

115
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:10,479
and then you just gotta drag them wait what that's it

116
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:15,280
oh my goodness probably wouldn't be a terrible terrible idea to put the uh

117
00:08:13,199 --> 00:08:18,960
the i o bracket back on it does give you a little less leeway for

118
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:24,080
jiggering when you're putting your cards in that is some next level saggage there

119
00:08:21,599 --> 00:08:27,599
that's like poor pc yeah

120
00:08:25,199 --> 00:08:32,560
okay we just lost another heat sink oh no we lost two more okay

121
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:36,719
oh we close now okay well what like do we just fire it up or what

122
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:40,320
just send it while you do that i'm just going to collect all the heat sinks that

123
00:08:38,159 --> 00:08:44,399
have fallen off so far is this an appropriate look how they massacred my

124
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:48,959
boy moment now we're all set up we're logging

125
00:08:46,560 --> 00:08:53,360
temperature data from hardware info we've got afterburner cranked to 112

126
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:58,000
power limit and we're going to run a GPU stress test in fur mark here we're

127
00:08:55,040 --> 00:09:02,160
running at 2560 by 1080 with four times msaa we're trying to really toast this

128
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:05,519
graphics card no i don't want this warning

129
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:10,000
give it to me those fans are barely running i can tell you right now that

130
00:09:06,959 --> 00:09:11,360
GPU is basically silent plugged into the

131
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:14,640
motherboard headers that's steep but hold on give it time

132
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:20,720
give it time 55. oh and with the panel closed

133
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:20,720
closed let's get the panel closed

134
00:09:20,959 --> 00:09:29,040
does that just go on like that it sure does okay so we hit uh

135
00:09:25,279 --> 00:09:30,959
96 fpf average FPS average at 78 degrees

136
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:36,440
celsius was our kind of that was our equilibrium point yes is

137
00:09:32,959 --> 00:09:36,440
there any coil one

138
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:45,040
curiously not that i can detect which is funny to me because i went and i water

139
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:49,279
blocked an rtx titan a little while back and it was just nasty in terms of coil

140
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:54,000
one this looks like it's settled in now we're still running at 96 FPS if we go

141
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:58,000
ahead and pop open hardware info we can see that we are at

142
00:09:55,839 --> 00:10:02,240
1920 so we've not lost any of our maximum turbo here

143
00:09:59,920 --> 00:10:05,120
and we have 1700 on the stock cooler that i remember

144
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:10,959
correctly you got you went to seven dropped to 1700. i think so yeah oh well fantastic

145
00:10:09,519 --> 00:10:14,160
and that is a substantially better result because we're running at 72

146
00:10:12,560 --> 00:10:19,120
degrees celsius max turbo and

147
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:23,200
these fans are like

148
00:10:20,399 --> 00:10:27,920
barely spinning you hear that those are at like 600 700 RPM

149
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:36,720
if the question was does this outperform the stock cooler then the answer is yes

150
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:38,800
but if the question is should i run out

151
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:42,720
after having spent extra on a founder's edition card

152
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:47,040
anyway and go buy this aftermarket accessory for it that has quite frankly

153
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:53,360
not just an unintuitive but kind of a scary installation process

154
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:57,600
and then just terrible quality when it comes to

155
00:10:55,200 --> 00:11:01,360
the thermal pad staying on the answer gets

156
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:07,200
a little bit more complicated i think really the takeaway

157
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:10,320
here is when we compare the results we were going to put the ragin tech on this

158
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:13,600
strix card but now that we've seen these results i i

159
00:11:11,839 --> 00:11:17,440
don't think it makes any sense when we compare the results to just buying a

160
00:11:15,519 --> 00:11:21,920
card with a big fat beefy cooler on it in the first place

161
00:11:20,079 --> 00:11:29,079
the answer is pretty obvious especially because this doesn't cost an extra 70 80

162
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:29,079
over a founder's edition

163
00:11:29,680 --> 00:11:36,399

176
00:12:20,560 --> 00:12:26,800
i would go as far as to say that one was more sensible significantly more

177
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:31,839
sensitive i mean aside from just a power drill we didn't really need any crazy

178
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:35,839
tools to mount the thing and i trusted it way more than this quite honestly
