Raijintek Announces the Morpheus II Core Edition VGA Cooler
Raijintek announced its latest graphics card cooler, the Morpheus II Core Edition. A successor to the Morpheus Core Edition launched in 2014, this cooler features a more up-to-date VGA support, including the Radeon R9 Fury series, R9 390 series, GeForce GTX 980 Ti, and more. What makes it "Core Edition," is that it lacks any bundled fans, letting you use your own high-end ones. It supports a pair of 120 mm spinners.
The main heatsink measures 254 mm x 98 mm x 44 mm, weighing 515 g. It features a dense, monolithic, aluminium fin-stack, which is arranged along the length of the graphics card's PCB, to which heat drawn from a nickel-plated copper GPU base, is fed by six 6 mm thick heat-pipes, making two passes through the fin-stack. Heatsinks for up to 18 memory chips, and an in-line MOSFET heatsink, and a dozen smaller MOSFET heatsinks come included, along with thermal pads, TIM, and the various mounting pieces. Raijintek didn't reveal pricing.

Bleh! 140 or bust!
I much prefer the reference-cost advanced cooled cards of today
I agree... this thing... is a bit off the charts.
imo modern vrm circuits get far too hot to trust heatsinks stuck on with thermal tape, they need proper tim or thermal pads held on with a decent amount of pressure
These coolers are able to cool an overclocked 290X at acceptable noise levels, for those not interested in water cooling these things are good. They can also be used passively or with a 400 rpm fan to give a truly quiet card.
Put the Morpheus 2 on a 980 with one 500 rpm fan, a I7 6700 with a large tower cooler and another 500 rm fan and a passive PSU and you have a system that can play any game you throw at it while being quieter than any water cooling setup.
It would be better in a press release to mention all cards it plays nice with.
The weight of it all is a big drawback, but since my full tower case has a separation of chambers right below the mboard bottom line, I solved the issue with an improvised vertical stand serving as support to keep it all levelled.
For those not planing on SLi/CF, and have mboard slots free, this is a good option to keep a solid gpu rolling for 1~2+ years without any worries about noise or temps. Specially if you already have an extra pair of good 120mm fans around.
