Bought a similar model a few weeks back. Getting roughly the same results. 5 degrees at half speed, 8-10 at full speed. Crazy that something so simple can make such a large difference. I use a evga 1080 btw.
@@vikrraal I couldn't tell you it would make an X amount of difference, but I feel pretty certain that adding a fan similar to this will decrease the tempertures of any card.
i places two noctuas 120mm under my gpu and it gets -10 degrees celsius average so it is definitelly worth it. I have a rtx 3060ti eagle version which is kinda small card and the card fans are just not enough. The card before went easily to 82 degrees. You dont need to buy those specific products just buy normal fans and some pcie slot bracket.
i dont know looks a bit cheap. would prefer a version were you can put it direktly into the PCI slot for energy and fanspeed control .. less cables and more stable and for most . but the Idea itself is nice
Hey mate did you ever get this going? Was thinking of putting this on the top side of the GPU and blow air up and hopefully cool my motherboard VRM's as well.
@@KarmaPolice93 I finally was able to. I only have fans on the bottom side currently, the fans I found didn't fit the top side. It's working really well with three fans. It was usually over 13c difference, which is awesome. Fans don't turn on, on the graphics card.
@@djao2008 Thanks for the reply mate, just wondering with the top fans not fitting does it bump onto something on your motherboard or what does it hit?
To be meaningful this test would have been better in a closed case, set upright, eg the way most people are likely to set their cases. Still its a great idea for a mod which anyone can do with a pair of old case fans.
I did the same thing but by myself with some popsicle to get the cooler in. Maybe the results are better if the original gpu fan is in good conditions. But it helps to keep running the gpu.
Just swap out the stock fans from your GPU with a case fans, it works the same way. I did it with my RX580 and both noise and temperature dropped significantly.
what if you have 3 on front as intake, 2 on top as exhaust, 1 as back as exhaust, would it cool the gpu if on the sides of the psu shroud you have full mesh, and add fans below the gpu as intake? aka blowing air into the gpu
Sounds like my setup. 3 Intakes in the front. 1 Exhaust to the rear, 1 exhaust on the top (Soon to be 2 on top) my gpu averages around 81 Degrees while gaming. If my exhaust fan comes in and along with this cooler, if my temperature drops down to 76-77 degrees i'll be a happy camper.
Should the airflow go toward the graphic card or sucking air from it? I asked the question to a seller online, and he told me that the fans were sucking air from the card. I find it odd because it deprives the GPU fans of air to cool the card, doesn't it?
it can be setup either way, but the idea is for it to blow more air at you GPU, or if you have a case where it will fit you can fit it above the GPU to blow air away, heat rises so you should always be aiming to push it higher and outwards in the case. blowing the heat down will just mess up the airflow of your case unless you have some weird and unique case I have never seen before
@@TechforTechs Thanks. Exactly what I thought. I have ordered a product already assembled, I will set fans the other way if they are actually as the seller said they were.
A proper test should be fans installed and turned on vs fans not installed at all, not fans on vs fans of as you did. Fans installed and turned off obstruct the GPU intake and may make it suffocate and go hotter.
Thanks the comment, we chance upgraded the microphones we use since this video, we also have a different studio now, due to the ambient noise around the old studio and excess heat, we had to have the mic gain turned up, unfortunately this would make breathing sounds as well as other ambient sounds. this is no longer the case in newer videos after January 2021
It's always good to acknowledge constructive criticism. First off never ever ever connect fan header while pc is on, regardless you warn people. 2nd I don't understand why you couldn't have just used a third party tool to turn fans off? Then your test. You say 6c lower on an open bench & claim in an restricted case you would also see the same results? Think about it. If you want me & everyone else to subscribe earn it.

Goods, to know, also has the added benefit of changing the fans if needed to RGB or high performance if needed
can I use it on new 3070 fe ? I am a bit skeptical because of the air flow design in newer models.

@@TechforTechs Does it have PWM control?
@@igorbrkic6997 no, it only has 3 pins. You need four pins for PWM
great test, but i will be good to see in closed case, how it will affect the temperature, because this is 99% of users will use

Wow I didn't expect to see one of this manufactured after 1997
seems likea great idea for a de-shrouded GPU. an alternative to spending $50-100 more on a higher end SKU like a Strix.
So true, we will be reviewing a bracket version from Akasa (you add your own fans) in the next few weeks as well.
Thank you. Great review. I think I am now going to give this thing a try rather than the more expensive units.
Got one of these and found it to be good.
Open bench table setup. I use an external fan to channel air through the slot where CD drives etc used to be and managed to keep the 2060 12GB cool
I'm having my AIO exhaust through the top of my case so upwards air flow would be useful.
gonna order this..got a rtx 2060 super getting to hot 85/86c and thermal throttling alot
Drop that fan on the PCB part of aboard the opposite side
i dont know looks a bit cheap. would prefer a version were you can put it direktly into the PCI slot for energy and fanspeed control .. less cables and more stable and for most . but the Idea itself is nice
I'm going to be doing this on a 3080 card here shortly. Slightly different set-up, fans on both sides of the GPU. Will report!

I have the EVGA rtx3080 ultra. Works great, can't wait to get the other fans in for the other side of the card.
@@djao2008 Thanks for the reply mate, just wondering with the top fans not fitting does it bump onto something on your motherboard or what does it hit?
@@KarmaPolice93 the top fans were hitting top of the GPU. They were pretty thick fans... I just got the new one in though.
Can you actually mount it above the gpu and front fans down for cooling backplate? I'm looking for something for 3080 TUF to reduce memory temp.
as long as you have room you can mount it above and swap the fan direction if you wish
I could see using this for cooling the back of a graphics card if it didn't have the dual PCI slot mount.
Come to think of it light goes pretty damn fast for the absence of noise it has!
To be meaningful this test would have been better in a closed case, set upright, eg the way most people are likely to set their cases. Still its a great idea for a mod which anyone can do with a pair of old case fans.
I have a air open case this video works well for me
I did the same thing but by myself with some popsicle to get the cooler in. Maybe the results are better if the original gpu fan is in good conditions. But it helps to keep running the gpu.
i love your content very creative looking forward to build my own much appreciated
Isn't it better to put from the backplate side??
I wanted to do this.
SUPER retro!
Open case tests for cooling don't make any sense.
My graphics card Dan broke so would it be fine to just put one of these under it to keep it cool it’s a 3060 quite small
Have an aio on my gpu. Die temps are good. But vram temps are high. Think this might be a solution for that. Will give something similar a try.

Sure! That's a great idea fiddling around with your $1500 RTX3090. Warranty is sooo overrated anyway.
You're a genius, sir!
@@quantomic1106 exactly I don’t wanna open up my 3070ti
Thank You
Gonna pick one up see if it will cool the mini evga gtx 1060 6gb
This would have been great if it was 1 slot bracket instead of 2
Is your graphics card shown here a triple fan design?
I just put up extra for both side

Kinda pointless test considering it's not in a closed case where there's a potential for the air to get trapped

Dude get a mic to control that COPD breathing
