Kraken g12 cooled msi gaming X rx 480

[Ross Thomson]

Took the plung and fitted the kraken g12 along with an Asetek 240mm 570LXL cooler from OCUK. Fitted without too much issue. Not a huge jump in overclocking but massive reduction in sound and temps are a good bit lower (45-50 v 72-75). but temps are around 50-54c. I'm using coolermaster jetflo fans in a push config.

This is the kit https://www.overclockers.co.uk/ocuk...e-bundle-advanced-black-shroud-bu-084-tl.html


Can leave the back plate on - just the four screws to remove the cooler

Front of the card without the cooler

With the brackets on

And in the case on a coolermaster vertical card holder

What fan have you got on the Kraken as the stock one was a bit pants I see you seem to have a different coloured one ?

The fan that is on the gpu bracket is the standard one that comes with the kit. It is quiet enough even at full speed.

shifts enough air on the msi card - got to remember its a universal bracket so isn't going to be a perfect fit for every graphics card.
