The Raijintek Morpheus is currently still the most popular and above all also the most potent air cooler for graphics cards, but the compatibility was somewhat behind the current graphics card generations from NVIDIA and AMD. I got myself a final version directly from Taiwan in advance, however, this cooler (as of yesterday morning) is also [...]
For once, I don’t have a picture gallery for today’s Sunday, but I do have a terrific pearl from the daily routine of a supplier of various cooling products, which also include fans. And no, if you think that the “poo-like” colorizing on the picture stands for a new model series from Noctua, I have to disappoint you [...]
To be able to cover the higher TDP classes of processors in the future, I upgraded my testbench from a Ryzen 5 3600 to a Ryzen 9 3950X. However, so that the compact or budget coolers are not completely overtaxed, testing is done in three stages. This article serves as a reference and basis for future comparisons so that tested air and water [...]
Due to the high popularity and the many requests, we are following up today with a small follow-up on the Fractal Design North case. Many users have asked “does this work thermally with a large graphics card?” We got to the bottom of this question, installed a Radeon 6900XT without further ado and Fractal was even able to provide us [...]
Today’s article goes into detail about fan control software and a few important connection basics. The following three concrete topics will be the subject of today’s article: A small overview of various programs for fan control, a tutorial on, program FanControl and a tutorial on creating fan curves. This is a continuation of what Igor [...]
With the Seasonic MagFlow 120 mm, Seasonic wants to reorient the market a little bit. Simple, high-performance and above all RGB-free, and the most important feature is a magnetically clickable daisy chain without superfluous cable assembly. Lian Li, we are coming (now too)! Click & Run for even more fun? Of course, acceptance will show [...]
A good half year ago, we already had the normal variant of this cooler in review, and now another model in completely black coloring and a second fan follows. First, a question on my part: Should not “Zero Dark” actually be a completely white version of this cooler? We might not find the answer to that today, but at least I can test [...]

After various render images of the new Morpheus 8069 GPU air cooler were leaked in the last few days due to rather unfortunate circumstances, which however do not officially come from Raijintek, but were picked up by a third party from an unprotected directory of the manufacturer’s server, I would like to turn the whole thing upside down a [...]
Yes, it’s winter again and the next hot hardware is just around the corner. Admittedly, summer is still a long way off, but it’s still getting warmer every day because the wattage of the components is also increasing so immeasurably. For a PC owner or self-builder, the topics of waste heat, cooling and ambient temperature (also [...]
Cooler Master sends two new case fans onto the market with the unilluminated Mobius 120 and the illuminated counterpart Mobius 120P ARGB, which, together with the Mobius 120 OC not tested today, should give everything a good shake of the competitor products. However, the price is quite high at just under 25 euros for the shadow man and just under [...]
The Raijintek Morpheus is currently the most popular and most potent air cooler for graphics cards, but not for NVIDIA’s RTX 3xxx series. Until now, because I have now exclusively tested the first prototype, which also performs really well. You surely remember the first experiment with the bracket adjustment. But in the meantime, a few [...]
A little over a year ago, I reviewed the then newly released Mugen 5 from Scythe here with a black coloring. Since I also had the untreated variant of the heatsink from a previous article at hand, I was able to draw a direct comparison between the heatsink in silver and black – with an identical fan. It was found that the cooler with a dip [...]
With the Asus TUF Gaming TF120, we are testing a mid-range fan from Asus today that shines, cools, and does almost nothing wrong, if you ignore two minor slips. But the part is so conspicuously inconspicuous that we were happy to comply with the readers’ requests for a test. It is a decent “can-do” fan that does not deliver top [...]
I had to let it sink in that Corsair now offers good fans without RGB again. No iCUE, no controller clutter, instead just a plain (but highly pure) white or a nice, exciting black. Bling-bling is not even available for a surcharge and the current street price of just under 24 Euros leaves you in the dark. Fiat Lux? No one needs it if the fan is [...]
The better is the enemy of the good, and that is exactly why we have taken stock after almost 40 tested fans, evaluated the feedback from readers and added more details. Although the effort involved increases somewhat, many processes can be automated. The question of which units to base the whole thing on has kept us busy for some time. Since the [...]
The radi(k)all fan of the current AMD graphics cards is an acoustic plague that is better fought where it originates, namely on the card itself. After a few minutes of testing with the cheeky original, all doubts as to whether the conversion would even be possible were quickly thrown overboard. Pain makes you brave, and in the end you will lean [...]

While cleaning up in the storage, I found a virtually unused Raijintek Morpheus prototype that was supposed to clarify the difference between copper and aluminum heatsinks on RAM and VRM ages ago. Fittingly, the GeForce RTX 3080 reference board is also on the shelf of good deeds in the test lab, including a universal backplate that could be [...]
