- Today we're taking a look at the Inno3D iChill X4 Air Boss Herculez GTX 980 Ti Graphics Card. With a name like that, this pretty hard to find GPU must be a beast right? Well let's take a look at it and see what it can do.
Specs:
Intel Core i5 8400
16GB DDR4 3200MHz DDR4
GTX 980Ti
Corsair TX650W PSU
Thanks for watching :) - Věda a technologie
I thought this was going to be a quad SLI card.
Same
Me too man
same here :D
If only... If only.
Ssssssssame
If only it was a quad SLI card...then again, I wouldn't want a thermonuclear bomb in my PC.
In that case, don't buy nVidia cards ;)

That *Inno3D iChill Hercules x4 Ultra Air Boss GTX 980ti haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaHHHHH and Breathe* has a nice name, prolly why it's rare.
Inno3D GeForce GTX 970 "iChill Herculez X4 Air Boss Ultra" is the title of the card I bought from Overclockers here in the UK (didn't get the promised Haribo though). The only graphics card I have ever bought new.
@KONRAD i never bought a second hand gpu but make sure it isnt a mining card then i think you'll be fine
@KONRAD Sorry for the late reply, for some reason I'm not getting notifications of them. My experience of buying second hand cards has been very good, as I mentioned the 970 is the only card I have ever bought new.
Just recently I bought a GTX 780Ti on eBay for £32. It was sold as spares or repair as it was artifacting during use. On getting the card I took off the cooler to find that the thermal paste was only covering half the GPU die and the stuff that was there was dry as a bone.Cleaned it off and replaced the thermal paste and the card is back up and running just as it should, gives my media PC a nice little boost so that it can actually play games at a decent frame rate now.
That's the danger with second hand cards though. The fix for the 780Ti was easy but I could have just as easily bought a card that was broken beyond repair.
Of course the chances of getting a broken card get greater the older they get, the chances of the RTX 2080Ti being broken are slim but still there. In short you have to decide if you can afford to lose the money you spend on the card if it doesn't work, a lot of times getting your money back on a used purchase is not easy.
@@CoMpLeTeBeNJ what is the problem with mining cards (if the capacitors are not in a bad state) i mean i can just say my 1080 ti runned for 2 years on 4k every day around 2-6 hours on 70+ degrees and still runs like the first day (asus strix model) and if you compare that to a cheap mining card wich was used for 6 months its not a big difference (everything is still fine even temperatures still the same without thermal paste changed just fans and heatsink cleaned every 3 months)

He talked about them though

Oh but he showed the idle temps just incase we want to buy one, connect it, and never use it.
Jimmyw this is a fucking computer channel
Geforce 980Ti cards are known for their great overclockability. It would be interesting how far you can push that beast.
980 ti is the best ti by far, in terms of oc headroom. my 980 ti gained 25-30% performance going from ~1200 mhz stock to ~1500 mhz oc. my current 1080 ti gained only 5-10% or so.. with 3d clocks of 2000ish
@@Dr.WhetFarts Yeah I still have my old 980TIs somewhere in a closet back in their boxes (forgot what brand). Overclocking on those were so easy and hell, you could get so much out of them. Currently still running my 1080TI FTW3 and can't touch it... only a little bit but I wouldn't do anything. Concerning temps with the stock cooler, Metro Exodus makes it peak at nearly 90C on ultra (1080p in my tests). Card gets crazy hot on certain games so I don't want to touch it unless I decide to watercool everything again.
@@michaelbeleut6480 undervolt. you can get lower temps also i forget this is 3 years ago so u probably have a beast of a card by now
I can't get enough of that tulip table-cloth
I'm glad you're testing at higher resolutions! Keep up the good work. I like to see older games or games with optimised (i.e. not Ultra) settings being tested
I remember I used to have this card and its insane. It goes all the way up to 1600mhz on air with the reference pcb design. And this thing was 100bucks cheaper than a strix
I remember your channel at 10k subs... well done RGiHD! Sweet card. inno3D has some insane cooler designs.
One super rare GPU that I'm struggling to find on eBay is a Sapphire 4850x2
A friend of mine had it on a asus laptop, about 8-9 years ago
in germany there is one for 36€VB ( VB means the seller might accept a lower price)

I was literally looking at one of these on eBay the other day! 😂
Oh, Herculez, Herculez!
Another good video! Looking forward to any you do without speaking :)
Its funny i used to watch every single of your videos a few years ago, then i suddenly stopped without a reason, and im not even sure why, you still make great content. Thumbs up from me
I have a EVGA GTX 780 6GB, kind of a rare card, no real benchmarks on it, let me know if you’re interested in it.
I've never seen benchmarks on one of those. I have a 3GB version but always wondered how the 6GB ones compared.
6gb? Damn
A 6GB GTX780 will not have any noticeable improvements over the 3GB variant until you give it workloads that utilize more VRAM than the 3GB unit can handle.
The common use case for these cards is putting these cards in SLI in order to drive high resolutions, where VRAM bottlenecking is much more common.
@@Somerandomegamer well I can tell you know that my GTX 780ti has only 3GB and I am struggling to run rdr2 on the settings that I know the 6GB card non TI will handle with ease.
Ever heard of GTX 1060 5gb
(Heard it was only selling in China)
It's by far the most badass looking card i've ever seen in my life!
yeah! it looks like some badass armor from mass effect or something!
I remember when you had 70k subs and now you have over 260k. Hopefully you hit 300k by the end of the year
I noticed your vids are being released more frequently. Good work buddy 👍
inno3d does a really good job with the herculez cards. i've got the 1070 ichill x4 and it's a beast core clock over 2000mhz out of the box without touching anything and stays under 70°C and imo the pascal cards look better then the maxwell
Why not compare the gtx 980 ti to your gtx 1070?
they are near identical
@@iwannabeahippyiwannabeahip6312 depends what edition tbh maybe the founders edition
980 Ti ~ GTX 1660 Ti....
RODRIGO FILHO i think 980Ti would beat 1660Ti fair and square
@@rodrigofilho1996 980ti is a better card on paper and benchmarks
This is such a super cool design. I've never seen these before. Always fancied the 980ti's. Such incredible cards.
I still have, but no longer in active use... a version of this in the GTX 980 Herculez X4 Air boss Ultra... a superb card, nice clock speeds and on avg. that extra fan helped cool the core a few more degrees than my Gainward GTX980 and other cards. Superb Cooling. I remember having to modify and remove some of my 3.5" drive bays in one of my mid tower cases because of the length of this monster.
I have the iChill X3 GTX 1080 and I can say with confidence that Inno3D is very underrated
ultra settings don't always look better, and are often poorly optimized for the graphics cards drivers.
They also often add extra clutter that ads more anti-aliasing type artifacts.
I love this brand, I have a 970 with same cooler and shiet. It stays cool and quiet, even at full load.
Also, It has been 4 years since i got it. Changed its paste lately, but no problems with the fans either.
You know the video is gunna be lit when you see the table cloth!
Cool card. This video also shows that if you are building a new PC (which many will be with ryzen 3xxx upcoming release) you should go with the MINIMUM CPU of 8 core, preferably with ht/smt. You can see here 6 cores already being maxed out and there are already games that use up to 12 threads.
that's not a core problem, that's an issue with FC new dawn and specifically the 6c/6t intel parts. there are very few titles still that show a difference between a 2600x and a 2700x
Couldn't you have disconnected the fan maybe to see if there is any noticeable change in temperatures?
your GPU collection must be getting interesting.
That card is amazing. I want that cooler on my 2080. Nice vid man
Idk why but I love these videos.
(it's probably cause I'm looking to build a new pc tbh)
Well just dont buy old hardware like these here.
Don't buy the interesting 'unique' stuff, just buy what you know works
woah didn't expect to see a tf2 trading youtuber here! btw love your vid I have u subbed rn ;)

@@LukzForEver why not? If you arent rendering or something a 4790 is pretty decent. I regret my 8700k tbh.

I have this same card in the NON TI form... I also bought used on Ebay many years ago, and found a rare Gainward GTX980 Chinese Guan Yu version as well both in excellent shape... That Inno3d is one of the coolest running cards for its power/performance by far compared to other manufacturers. I'm happy to have it in my collection.
I love that mounted fan on top

Nice.

Yes
Yes
hey, i'd love to let you have a play with my weird card. HD 7870 XT. technically a tahiti GPU.
I bet these things were great at being cooled. Love that little fan on the top. When I was younger, the 980ti is the GPU I dreamed of having.
G'day Random,
You do a good job getting your hands on these 'Over the Top' versions of Graphics Cards, it is great to see they are still put out FPS & getting some love,
are you keeping the ones you get or do you sell them after your reviews? You should have an Awesome collection if you have kept them all
I have the Inno3D X3 gtx 1080 Ti, they did another X4 model of the 1080 Ti as well, it looks better than this one did, but I still prefer the look of just the 3 fans by a long way!
the 4th fan is actually not just for flair, it's mounted on a heatsink which is connected to the VRM by a heatpipe. the inno3d cards use reference PCBs, and the VRMs on especially the reference maxwell cards are not that amazing, so the extra cooling is definitely a good idea. they don't get much airflow from the rather slow spinning fans through the massive heatsinks.
givemeajackson wouldn’t the 4 th fan also be a big help in an sli setup too? That’s what I always thought the side mounted fans were for.
@@kennedymoreiras3054 not really, it's mounted on a metal plate. The 4th fan doesn't blow any air onto the main beatsinks, it just cools the VRM. Also this is a three slot card, which is less than ideal for sli
givemeajackson oh really, huh that seems like a waste of a 4th fan then.
@@kennedymoreiras3054 really isn't the fans on this card spin very slow, and the VRM would not get much cooling otherwise. since this is a reference PCB some decent VRM cooling is very welcome for overclocking. they basically got around designing a custom PCB just by building a smart cooler
Unusual Beasts and Where to Find Them
This card looks so nice. This 4 fan design looks very cool
This video shows that you can build even 4K PC at a budget. Amazing! Of course, got to get 2nd hand parts that vary in price but that is really surprising and fantastic.
I thought the x4 stands for "4-slots-wide"
Always keep the packaging, it's good form.
holy shit you covered my card! well it's actually a reference 980ti that i bolted the cooler off my dead 980 herculez x4 onto. the cooler on this thing is insane, my card never goes above 70° even at 1480mhz, and that's with a pretty much silent fan curve. the only bad thing is that the VRM fan is not speed controlled, and i don't have the equipment to check whether the VRM is cool enough without it.
(btw this is a reference PCB, which is why i think the x4 model is preferable. the VRM on the reference 980ti isn't spectacular, a bit of extra cooling is definitely not a bad idea)
I have the gigabyte 980 ti extreme with 2 8 pin and 1 6 pin conectors and i was able to get it to oc to gtx 1080 performance levels. Awesome video by the way.
I just recently bought a msi 980ti gaming 6g for $175 like new off ebay!
Thats Hella expensive?
Ichill after benchmark: "help!!! iburn iburn" !!!
I think space engineers would be a great game to test stuff on as it can be intensive but with settings changed it would be fine, I would love to know
I just bought this MSI titanium 1070 ti! It's insanely quiet for me, so I think you'd definitely should check it!
My loved my old 980 ti ... until it became the temperature of the sun
Even though I was firmly a Radeon guy back in those days, I'm forced to admire the 980ti (and the 970) as they can still rock and roll, even today.
They were made to be good for while unlike 20 series cards with rtx 2080 being as good or little bit better than previous gtx 1080ti
Sapphire Tri-X R9 290 here, competing with a GTX 970 is quite the same now. The GTX 980 non-Ti however beats it by 15-20%, but you have got to realize those 2 were more expensive cards than mine. Also beats GTX 780 and at launch it wasn't near it or it's price.
Very nice find!
Enjoy the videos imensly. It would be really nice if you mentioned the ambiant temperature aswell as the core temp. Cheers

Rocking the evga 980 classified. Still great 1440p high settings crusher
Was running an Asus matrix 980ti at 4K for a couple years. When I upgraded 6 months ago, the card ran games great, never exceeded ~64°c, and only had 2 fans. But also required 2 8 pins. (The molex is for LN2 cooling)
I have the 970 HerculeZ one. But switched to Radeon VII
Why on Earth would you go for a Radeon VII? It presented no real advantages over the RTX 2080 when it released, apart from its VRAM. And I'm an AMD guy. Do you plan on switching to Navi?
Kytes93 why lol I have 2080 msi sc same price much better card
i got the x3, itsa a decent card but i need an upgrade
I used to have one of these, bought it when it came out.
The top fan never made much noise and with the big cooler it overclocked really well, but after not quite 2 years of running that way the VRM conked out.
Best part was that is was still under warranty (even with overclocking) but it wasn't available anymore so I got a huge discount on a GTX 1080 instead.
Good Video as always!
That electricity bill and the and of year tho....

Might've been the OUYA video, but I'm not too sure.
I have the X3 version and it's a already a beast, I think it's the best cooling for "stock pcb" card, and I got lucky for the core, easy overclocking to 1560MHz with only 1.21v
I have this card in my gaming tower and it is just perfect. Every game works smooth at 1080p and even 4K
1:21 Let's look at the mighty beast itself then
*[Reveals the Parakeet]*

As someone with pet conures, I can confirm that parakeets are indeed beasts who are conspiring to take over the world.
I‘d like that one in my i5 sleeper build. 😀
The small fan can be taken off and more oil can be put in to the fan by taking off the sticker its like a 2min job to do and will stop the fan making noise if it starts to go bad
I think for future reference you should do a before and after temperature comparison when replacing the Tim and cleaning the dust off the GPU's. As they can affect temps
What don't you overclock any of the gpu's that you test, this card looks like it would be a good overclocker
@SkilledRebuilds well i assume the point of this specific model is better thermals to achieve a higher stable overclock. since this model is in limited quantity, just googling regular 980 ti overclocks wouldnt truly show what this one can do.
In the case of this card, and the regular 980 and GTX 970 from Inno3D that share the same cooler, they come factory overclocked really quite aggressively. You might be able to get a little more performance out of them but nothing that is worth speaking of.
Can you add section can it run crysis? I mean cmon we all know that crysis was game to bench your pc, so gpu intensive game, add original Crysis or Crysis 3, and crysis is not a game to run at medium, even if it makes 10 fps it needs to be set at ultra
Same problem with my Ryzen5 2600 micro stutter on sometimes. So i agree you !😉👍🏻
I have the GTX 970 from Inno3D, same cooling block and fan setup. My card runs not too hot even to this day but after the years it gets very loud.

put this card with an i7 4790k and you've got a beast rig :p
4790k@4.6Ghz here... I get 2100 in Cinebench R20
RODRIGO FILHO The 4790k is still bloody fast, for a 5 year old CPU thats pretty good! It does a good job firing a gameserver.
I still run a 4690k oc'd to 4.6 and even that just stomps the games
my z97x soc just died and i "upgraded" to a ryzen 3600. a slight difference in fps but really not much, 15% at the most
Inno3D is a name I never hear or see thrown around but my god do they have fancy looking coolers. A year ago I was tempted a few times by the GTX 960s on the used market just cause the shroud looked awesome and industrial.
I love my Gigabyte G1 980Ti that I still have around in my previous PC. Such a cool design and decent performance. This was a good generation of graphics cards.
My current build has a ROG Strix 2080 Super in case you're wondering.
