so this video was supposed to be a how-to on installing a budget water cooler on your 980ti gravis card however upon getting back to Japan and installing the cooler and putting it in the system it just gave me no signal so this is going to be today's video on the story or the death of the 980ti so today's video was supposed to be a much more upbeat video where I was installing the NZXT Jeep and the corsair h 55 water cooler on this gravis card and showing you guys the much lower temps and the higher overclocks which I had already previously tested in America so I already had this unit fully functional in America and was working so well however I decided for transit when I was coming back here to put the air cooler back on and then because make it more safer and then when I got back here I'd do it again for you guys and make a vlog and I just finished doing everything and then it bricks itself and so I've tested this on the computer downstairs here I've tested it upstairs on all different display ports and it's just giving me a black signal and then upon closely looking at the PCB I cannot see any damage whatsoever so I'll pull up some slides there of this PCB and you can just see there's no damage there's no smells coming from it either which is kind of weird I mean if it was damaged from overclocking which by the way I haven't changed the BIOS I didn't intend to but I hadn't changed it yet so there's no damage there from overclocking because I didn't push it that far at all so I'm kind of perplexed as to what it could be but I believe it was damaged in shipping but on that note that is still under warranty so I'm gonna try and send it back and hopefully get it fixed for free because it still has another like six months warranty left on it which is a really good thing so I'm gonna be doing that very soon but in the meantime I've got my GTX 970 at 4k which is pretty bad and I've got the msi on line 390 which is surprisingly those two cards didn't suffer any damage at all just unfortunately it's my 980ti which sucks however on a more positive note this kit here was actually going really well I mean installation was pretty straightforward it was a nice little unit especially when it was in action and it was working I mean temps especially in like a 25 degree ambient room we're not even going over like 50 degrees or barely going over that and the scores in 3d fire strike were incredible I was getting like 20,000 and 60 that was the highest score that I clocked in there off this kit as opposed to the air cooler when I reviewed this unit which only scored 19300 and that was really noisy and the temps were much higher so I mean this little kit here for $90 is definitely a good buy the reason I got it was because I already had this for free my friend gave it to me and I got the H 55 for $60 and I mean it did work really well I should have maybe have just maybe put it in super layers of bubble wrap and it might have survived shipping better so guys if something is to come out of this video I guess it is just that be careful what airline you're flying with no no I mean on a serious note you should be just very careful with your parts especially I mean I should have really padded it a lot more than I did I guess I took that for granted and yeah I guess another thing is true that these water cooling units for the grabbes cards are actually really good that was a positive note of this video I really did enjoy both they're working with the G 10 and the H 55 I was surprised at how much better water cooling is for a high-end graphics card then air cooling so I mean for a CPU I found it hasn't doesn't make much of a difference but I will be making a video on air cooling versus water cooling in the future I'm just want to get some more numbers hopefully if my 980ti can get fixed and come back then I will do that for you guys but I mean if it doesn't need it because I've already taken the cooler off I don't know if that voids the warranty I'll have to check my warranty card or I'll have to contact the store so I don't know what goes on from here but I will keep you guys updated via Twitter and that's about it really I mean if you guys have any questions or comments and be sure to cut drop a comment the comment section below and I mean there's probably some people out there wondering why I'm not too devastated and I was for like an hour but I mean the thing is you've just got to learn your lessons and move on because there's always gonna be times in life and this is a time but it's like okay learn my lesson just gonna be extra careful and pack my stuff a lot more than I already am in the future so it doesn't happen again and I guess this applies to every walk of life not just tech so hey guys hope you enjoyed the video I'll catch you at another one very soon peace out for now bye I'm still gonna be very rough with my low end pop now worried about that
