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

Its not that it was quiet enough its the air it moves. On some cards with the Kraken the VRM's are not covered and it was beneficial to replace the fan with one that shifts more air, ie cpu cooler fan with high pressure and/or fit VRM heatsinks.
