RAIJINTEK Morpheus 8069, GPU VGA Cooler (TDP 400W), Compatible with NVIDIA 3090 & AMD 6900, Supports 120mm*2 Fans (0R10B00223)

I purchased a 4090 Gainward/Palit card on eBay (I don’t think they sell here in the United States) that was just a PCB. I had to look for an alternative heat sink/cooler for the card. I honestly didn’t think this will work, but it actually works GREAT. Considering that 4090 card do not have memory on the back so you don’t have worry about the back being cooled other then by the case circulating fans. Temperatures never got pass 60c even with blender rendering for a hour. I have an h510 flow so there is air that blows directly on the card. Installation was pretty straightforward if you know your way around a GPU pcb. The double sided thermal tape stick very well for the cooper heat sinks. It comes with provided thermal pads for each individual memory. The hot spot for them was never over 50c degrees. Overall it worked out great . The only issue is the fans that don’t come with the kit. It comes with fan mounts. It comes with fan mount for 13mm and 15mm length <<< I don’t remember the exact size fans but 120 x2 is need. It turns it to a 4.5 slot card once installed. I recommend getting slim/low profile fans if you are considering putting 2 GPUs in for rendering.I highly recommend this product with the very strong caveat that you research your GPU and get the necessary extra parts needed if you do have a 3090 etc.

Pretty easy to install. The adhesive for the copper and aluminum heatsinks are poor quality, I cleaned mosfets and heatsink before applying but they just fell off when I flipped card back over. I would recommend thermal glue to keep them on. Otherwise it works great.

I purchased this cooler to improve cooling on a Gigabyte Turbo Edition 3080. However, the offsets needed for the cold plate to mount to the PCB are the wrong size (too short) so it is very easy to overtighten and destroy the GPU die. However, the most egregious issue of this cooler is that the adhesive for the copper heat sinks is simply not adequate. I installed the cooler and let it sit overnight to cure. Upon putting the GPU back in my computer the adhesive failed within 15 mins of the GPU being under load causing the copper heatsink to fall and short out my GPU. This resulted in a dead 3080 and a very frustrated owner. Under no circumstance do I recommend this product as the manufacturer clearly cheeped out and this is a danger to your hardware.

I bought this for my 6900xt reference that I managed to damage the vapor chamber on. the instructions are poor at best. the slim fan retaining clips had to be bent, stretched to get to latch. Worst of all as a replacement I had to dissemble the stock heatsink and modify the mid frame with a dremel and file, otherwise there isn't enough support and the card just sags too much. I almost returned it. In the end it's OK, cools well. but took way too much extra effort for a "replacement" heatsink. At this price it should have ALL THE EXTRAS, including fans. Also, they include 3 small heatsinks for the IC's that get cooled by the midframe, the 4th is covered by the heatsink. The problem is that they don't stick as the IC's are just too small, regardless of being cleaned with 99% IPA. This is at best a 50-75 dollar product. Unfortunately I don't have time to source what would be a hard to find replacement.

The media could not be loaded. Cools GPU core well but has compatibility issuesThis review is for the RAIJINTEK Morpheus 8069 GPU Cooler.I had high hopes for this cooler because I was looking for a replacement cooler for my Zotac RTX 3090 OC stock cooler to improve temperatures.The build quality is excellent, and I have no issues at all with the heatsink itself. It looks good in all black with a polished copper base. The cooling performance for the GPU core is excellent.I saw some pretty significant temperature drops and I was quite impressed given the size difference with my Zotac RTX 3090's cooler. The stock cooler is significant longer/larger than the Morpheus 8069. I have attached my installation video that shows the difference. This is were the good ends.Here are the issues I encountered with the Morpheus 8069.Compatibility. There is no mention of specific compatibility just that this cooler is incompatible with Founders Edition cards. So the Morpheus 8069 might be generally compatible with other (reference) designs. And to some extent it is compatible. I can mount the cooler on my Zotac RTX 3090 but that is about it. Keep in mind the 3090 (pretty much all 3090's) have memory chips on the back of the card and require a backplate to dissipate heat. Most cards that use backplate cooling rely on a midframe bracket to secure the backplate to. The problem with the Morpheus 8069 is that the base heatsink interferes with the midframe bracket installation. So, in then end, I only had the backplate laying on top of the card - it was not screwed in. Another issue is without the midframe bracket, I can't screw in the PCIE mounting bracket, the part that you screw into your case to hold the card. This is severe because, the card with the weight of the heatsink will sag down and forward potentially damaging your PCIE slot and or GPU, luckily my motherboard has a reinforced PCIE slot. My only workaround was to support the card and heatsink with a support rod. Note, that the midframe also adds rigidity and protection for the GPU to prevent flexing and damage. Without the midframe, you have to be very careful when plugging in the PCIE power cables and inserting the card into the motherboard slot.Included parts (and lack of). The included double sided thermal tape for the copper heatsinks for capacitor cooling just don't work, they don't stick. They fell off within a few minutes. This issue rendered those heatsinks useless. This heatsink retails for almost $174.90. It requires 2x 120mm fans that are not included. It also does not include GPU fan adapter cables that are required if you intend to use standard 3 or 4 pin case fans.The instruction sheet. The instructions could have been more clear regarding how to install the heatsink pads and thermal tape. The pictures for the fan clips installation were not helpful.Do note, that there are 2 sets of thermal pads for the memory. It is mentioned in very small font in a corner of the parts list. They are important to distinguish because the pads for AMD and Nvidia GPU's have different thickness.Performance. While the GPU cooling is impressive and commendable, the memory cooling was subpar. The only way I was able to keep memory temperatures down was to increase fan speed. Even then, the temperatures were still at the higher end, at the point of throttling GPU speed. At first I thought I might have made a mistake with the installation but I triple checked everything and even went back and disassembled/reassembled the heatsink. This was an odd issue because the memory cooling plates are attached to the base (core) block. I wasn't sure, what the issue was and I didn't want to spend any more time troubleshooting.In summary, I really do appreciate the effort put into designing an aftermarket GPU cooler but there were just too many compatibility issues that resulted in compromises that reduced my confidence in the whole setup, potentially leading to motherboard or GPU damage. For the price, I feel like it should have had better thermal tape, and maybe even have it pre-applied to the copper heatsinks and also include fans. It should have also included a midframe or at very least a backplate to cool backside memory chips.For my case, I'm going to have to give the Morpheus 8069 a not recommended - especially if your GPU uses a midframe bracket or GPU has backside memory chips.
