Zotac 1070 amp edition replacement heatsink advice.

[SmashBrown]

Hello all,

Looking at getting this to replace the heatsink on my Zotac 1070 amp edition;

https://www.overclockers.co.uk/raijintek-morpheus-ii-core-black-heatpipe-vga-cooler-hs-028-rt.html

It does not specifically list my gpu as being compatible. Has anyone else replaced the heatsink on this GPU with this heatsink?

If not, what would you recommend?
Would like to get a bit more life out of my gpu and prevent thermal throttling a bit more for a bit of an OC on it. As I'm not interested in the current gen of GPU's as a replacement.

Thanks folks.

EDIT: Also if you have any advice for someone taking their one and only GPU apart for the first time, I'd appreciate it.

Ok advice.

Don't.

Zotac comes with a 5 year warranty and cooler removal voids it.

Only do it if out of warranty but then again according to the Raijintek website

Compatible with nVIDIA GTX Series Chip 1080Ti, 1080, 970, 980, 980Ti, 780Ti, 780, 770, 760, 650, 650Ti, 660, 660Ti, 680

so no again

Have a really neat idea in my head about it as well, get a custom black backplate with my handle smashbrown written on it in white XD XD
For a nice stealth appearance to match the rest of my build.

The morpheus II cooler is a beast, and although the website doesn't mention 1070 compatibility, it will fit the reference card, and mine now runs cool and quiet. OCUK currently have it on offer with fans cheaper than just the cooler itself.

But then there's the warranty issue.

Do you know of anywhere that sells matte black back plates for the 1070 as well?

I'm sure there are backplate retailers for all makes of the card. Alternatively, get a second hand one and spray it yourself.
