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 already in customs in Germany. It shouldn’t be long until the product is available in stores.
I had exclusively tested the first prototype, which also performed really well. However, I already have to factor in a small downer, because it is unfortunately no longer cheap. This is also due to the completely outrageous prices in the US, where even the old version can be sold from about 100 USD without taxes, while the new one is bought under the table with more than 50% surcharge. If you include shipping and distribution for Germany, the gross figure could be around 170 euros. That, in turn, would be really bitter. But let’s wait for the trade first and rather dedicate ourselves to the tangible facts of the test….
I will not only present the new cooler to you in detail today, but also write a bit from the production later, because you can solve something like this smart and elaborate or cheap and loveless. Raijintek can rely on the biggest heatpipe specialist here and it shows. In contrast to the prototype, the cooler now again has a black coating on the fins and a nickel-plated heatsink. The bracktes are also now black and the spacers have been further optimized.
Scope of delivery and compatibility
First, let’s get to the accessories. Raijintek has added AMD’s RDNA3 cards up to the Radeon RX 6950XT as well as NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 3080 (Ti) and RTX 3090 to the compatibility list, although I wouldn’t cool the card with the double-sided GDDR6X RAM like this because you also need a backplate for it, which is missing in the final version. The respective original parts can fit, but do not have to, depending on the model and manufacturer. By the way, an RTX 3070 Ti should also fit, since the hole spacing is the same.
In addition to the actual cooler with a multilingual manual, you also get the matching VRM copper coolers for the AMD and NVIDIA cards including adhesive strips, 8 or 12 heat conduction pads for the respective memory in the appropriate thickness, the brackets including screws and four spring screws for the screw connection to the PCB, additional smaller heatsinks made of aluminum for individual AMD cards, the fan clamps for two 25-mm-thick or 13-mm-thick 120 fans, self-adhesive rubber strips as fan support as well as some heat conduction paste.
What we are doing today is a repeat of the pre-test, but with the final product. Once again, the NVIDIA RTX 3080 is used in the normal reference design (not the FE), as it was also used as a PCB by manufacturers like KFA2 or Palit in the entry-level models.
More about the structure and the further details in a moment, here would be then in advance also quickly once again the official documentation to read…

… and a few render images, which I’ll use again for simplicity’s sake. The rest of the assembly and testing will be the original. As always.
