After experiencing the rather painful installation procedure of the Arctic Cooling Accelero Xtreme IV, we were hoping that the Raijintek Morpheus would offer something simpler. Thankfully, the installation mechanism is simpler, although not as hassle free as that of the NZXT Kraken G10.
First of all we are required to install the retention brackets on to either side of the GPU block. requiring two screws to secure each into place.
Then we can screw the four standoffs into these, ensuring that we select the correct holes for the specific card we have. There are also washers that must be installed for some AMD models so it is worth double checking whether this is applicable to your specific model before installation.
Next we can attach all of the small heatsinks for the RAM modules and VRM circuitry using the thermal adhesive pads provided. The placements of these will vary depending on your graphics card model, but the instructions give us a good idea of where these should be placed.
Finally we can apply thermal grease to the GPU and secure down the cooler using the provided spring screws.
Once the cooler is in place, we can attach two 120 mm fans of choice to the cooler using the provided retention clips.
Why not put the 7V results for the Arctic in the noise chart? As for not commenting on the noise… don’t you mean to say that noise is actually better with this one precisely because you can use more efficient fans? Of course, then there is a cost-performance ratio. You really should have tested this with a pair of budget sleeve fans also, not just expensive Noctuas. The $4 Thermaltake fans from Micro Center would be a good choice.
Where can I buy this? Thank you.
i use i for almost a year on a Direct CU 280X nad 2x phantakes fans for 9 EUr each they are not hear able not even on 100%speed and really happy with it the heat dont go over 60 deg not even in hot summer days now looking to purchase another one since i going to upgrade my system for another GPU . can only recommend it since it is better than arctic accelero since when the fans will be broken yo ucan easly replace them of any other and dont need to purchase expansive replacement part
The cooler is posiblly more efficent than arctic ones but only if u have case fans set at a minimum speed. I know this because i mode my gtx 1070 with 2×120 fans and the gpu temp gets very fast to 65°C and then the case fan kick and go from 300 rpm to 600 rpm and the temperature drops fast to 50°C. This cooler is very dependant on case air flow so because test methodology implied that case fans should not run this cooler was penalized more. That is why Ive seen this cooler beating arctic coolers in another review
