ID-COOLING ICEFLOW 240 VGA Graphic Card Cooler 240mm Water Cooler GPU VGA Cooler Compatible with RTX 20XX Series/GTX 10XX Series /900 Series/AMD RX 200/300 Series/GTX 1600 Series

TLDR: Dropped my GPU temps from 75c to 50c under full load. Reduced fan noise considerably since I went from 5 case fans at 100% to 3 at 30-50% most of the time. LED's are ok. If you want to run cooler temps and less noise, get this!UPDATE: after a month of use everything was still great. I did make a bad mistake that ended my card. I didn't want to take the cooler off to properly attach the back plate so I was just sitting on top of the card. All was well until I stupidly tried to move a fan from one side on my CPU cooling tower to the other, while my comp was on..... I KNOW, I KNOW, I"m an idiot. I dropped the fan which bounced around my mobo and slammed into the top of my card. Shorting everything out. GPU is toast, rest of system is questionable. Be smarter than me, DONT TAKE SHORT CUTS. TURN OFF YOUR PC WHEN WORKING ON IT AND PROPERLY ATTACH EVERYTHING! Still hyped on the this cooler. Aiming to still use it on my new card IF I can ever get one without taking a second mortgage.I used this on a XFX RX 580 GTS 8GB Black edition. In a M-atx case, the stock cooler fans would run full RPM just to keep it at 75-80C under load. Add in 5 case fans (@full RPM) to keep the air flow fresh and I had an annoyingly loud heater just a few feet from my chair. Stumbled upon this in a random search and after reading a few other reviews I decided to order it and see how it goes.Install was straight forward enough. If you can reapply thermal paste, you can install this cooler. Placing the heat sinks on the VRAM and VRM is time consuming but unlike others I found the supplied thermal sticky pads to be fine after applying moderate force for about 10 secs. Only issue I had was clearance on one of the VRAMs as it sat close to the plate and could only be half covered by a heatsink. Getting the placement on that one took slightly longer but by using a few dry test fits I was able to get it placed perfectly.The MOSs are on the left on this GPU so I was hesitant but after a week of using it I haven't seen any issues with VRM not properly cooling. Board doesn't support junction temp measuring so I have no hard data on if they are hotter or not, but I do feel airflow around them and performance is still great.The rad and fan were easy enough to install. In a M-atx case it is tight. It was a squeeze and took a few tries to properly get everything where I wanted but once in I have no complaints. I did hear "coil whine" from the pump once, but quickly sorted out that some pressure was being applied to one of the tubes right near the pump, once I shifted it a little, the whine stopped and never returned.The LEDS are ok. The controller is adequate. The LED along the side of the GPU mount is a nice touch, really adds a higher end feel to the finished product. Obviously this isn't a high end ARGB controller but its got more than enough setting to make it fit into your overall lighting needs. Personally I just wanted some plain old solid white. I do find the white to be slightly bluish in the fans but I chalk that up to ARGB vs the RGB LED case fans I have installed.Wiring was tedious but it included everything I needed. Other than taking my time to cable manage and tuck it all away out of sight, it was straight forward enough to wire up. Just double check they all get plugged in! I missed the pump power and on my first start up saw the temps just go up and up and got worried I installed it wrong. Luckily I thought to check the cables right before taking it apart and found the problem.I did add/change a few things,-Firstly I used Thermal Grizzlys kryonaut paste instead of the supplied paste.-I also bought a 4-Pin PWM splitter adapter that allowed me to use the GPUs native fan plug to power the rad and VRAM fans. I can't recommend this enough! Using Afterburner to control the fan speeds really is awesome and allows for easy fine tuning for noise and temps needs.-I did have to cut some of the metal shroud for the front of the GPU back plate. I didnt want to run no plate on top of the board and obviously it wasn't designed to have water tubes go through it. It was simple and easy to cut but is a permeant mod to make it look better. You can see in the attached pics, some are with the plate on and some with it off.Speaking of which temps are mind blowing! It idles at 28c (ambient is about 22c) with fans set to 3%. in other words, silent! Under my normal full gaming load it chills at 50c with fans at 50%. Slightly louder but still much quieter than the stock blower! If I turn the fans to 100% it will chill at like 35-37c while full 1080p gaming. I've even pushed the OC a bit, went from 1425 Core clock to 1500, and Mem clock from 2000 to 2250. No way the stock coolers would have let that happen smoothly.I waited a week or so to write this review just to make sure I was still happy. And I am! I'll update this review with any long term issues or problems so if there is no update, expect that its still just plugging along being super chill.

I got hesitantly purchased this, as I had just spent $3,000 on a new HP Omen Obelisk i9 water cooled gaming PC with a RTX 2080 Super that had a glaringly obvious issue, while the CPU was water cooled, the very large, and most expensive heat producing part in the entire system by several magnitudes was only cooled by a little blower fan... which caused the RTX ro rapidly hit 88' Celsius in even light gameplay, which actually resulted in the melting oif an HDMI cable, as the exhaust was built around the HDMI connectors...I waited a bit over a month to review this, just to make sure any long term issues had made themselves known. My initial hesitance was due to the price. Here was another "universal" AIO cooler at the $100 price-point, with a larger 240mm radiator, claiming to be everything I needed in one box that wanted to be installed on and risk the functionality and lifetime of my $800+ graphics card.. while all other water coolers were either several hundred dollars, or cheaper but were just CPU water coolers with smaller radiators that probably wouldn't handle the heat properly, requiring more parts, mods, and had little information as to which parts I actually needed along with it. However.. Since I purchased this insanely expensive PC, I was now broke and had to go with the Iceflow.Amazingly, installation was very easy once you come to terms that your very expensive graphics card isn't going to break in half as you apply slight pressure to remove the old heatsink.. and I swear I still have PTSD from that experience... The hardest part was fitting the 240mm radiator into the HP Omen Obelisk case, which didn't happen and I ended up buying a Cooler Master MasterBox case and transferred my system to it, which fit perfectly. This was not in any way due to ID, but rather HP's design of the Omen case, and the inclusion of ZERO air inlets at the front of the case, to include a liny RGB LED... Luckily, the Iceflow has more than enough lighting and is now providing the only lighting for both my side and front RGB lights, letting me remove the rgb control board HPO was using, which took up more space. In the attached picture, it is purely the iceflow doing the lighting. Finally, it is VERY quiet.After the very easy install, I was sure Murphy was going to show up and ruin my day, but nope. Even while overclocked massively, and while mining, my GPU hits a MAX temp of 66' C which is a HUGE temp drop. If I reverse the overclocking, I sit in the mid 60's during mining. The same goes for gaming.As far as any negatives, I found one, and this is really more due to the way I am using this card right now. The water cooling ONLY cools the GPU, since tt is not a full-card water-block like the more expensive coolers, but you are given small adhesive aluminum heatsinks for cooling the VRAM. Since I am mining, I am heavily overclocking my VRAM, and my limit is about +800 Mhz before the VRAM gets to "concerning" temps in the 82-85' C range. If you don't perform any large overclocks on the VRAM, you shouldn't see any issues, plus it is easy and affordable to buy replacement VRAM heatsinks that have much better performance. I have even seen water cooling add-ons for the VRAM. The other negative, which is also kind of a positive, is the fact that heat has to go SOMEWHERE, which is your surrounding room air, and given just how well this works at removing heat form your card inevitably means your room will heat up a lot. My small studio went from a standard San Francisco 70 -74 degrees to 85 degrees F, WHILE I had a window fan running... This was of course during periods of intense mining for says straight, and is also something that can't be fixed by ID, unless they reduce the cooling capacities of the Iceflow... :) I have since moved the system to direct most of the output into a window fan, and am planning on building an external radiator enclosure that can be vented with ducting or even placed outside onto a balcony.So, my verdict after 30 days of use, is if you are considering this due to the necessity and affordability, you can't go wrong. If you are comparing this to the more expensive GPU coolers, I unfortunately can't offer any advice as I haven't tested any of the other higher-end coolers

First off, I will say the cooling is phenomenal. It dropped idle temps on my MSI 2070 Armory OC from 47c to 35c and 90%+ load temps from 80-83c to an average of 55c. 80% load and lower stay around the 45c range. I haven't seen the temps rise above 62c max. The cooling is excellent!With that out of the way.. I would HIGHLY recommend buying your own thermal tape to attach the heat sinks, because the provided tape is trash. My GPU is mounted horizontally and I can see some of the heatsinks have already fell off two days after installing.Next, the RGB is 5v only. I only have 12v on my ASUS Prime so I had to order a converter to change from 5v to 12v. Was another 14 bucks for that.Minor gripe the purple rgb color on the heatsink is pink, but the fans are actually purple.Finally, the installation was quite the hassle, butI would say it's not overly difficult, just tedious. The fan speed is a little loud, but significantly less than the stock blower.

I play Fallout 4 on a 2070 Super at Ultra 4k and it pushes the card to the limit. To keep my video card at 65C, my fan needs to spin at 65% and I can't hear the dialog in the game unless I crank up the volume, very irritating. It's nuts how loud it is. This cooler drops my temp to 45C and the only thing I hear in the fan on my power supply.If you hear the water pump for more than a minute, you need to change the orientation of the radiator. Write this down "PWM", "ARGB" and "Sata 15 pin power". These are the cables you need to connect, use these acronyms and a search engine to figure how.

Easy install!

My only complaint is it doesn’t have older cards mounts making my older cards with broken fans that ran hot useless still unless i machined and threaded my own mounts and cant fit gt cards of any fan shape unless its close to a gtx or rtx diameter otherwise great for gtx rtx and modern amd cards

80C to 40C is amazing! On idle I get as low as 25C, and as high as 30C. Gaming goes from 30C to about 40C to 45C, or ever 50C depending on how much the GPU is doing. Over all this is a great product and works very well!

Was great for the first 2 months, now all of a sudden there is a grinding noise on the fan right by the card and I need to manually stop fan and start it again to make it go away. On top of that, the front fans for the RAD will randomly stop spinning and wont come back on until I restart or go into BIOS...Too late to return it now so BEWARE
