Arctic Cooling Accelero X1

@ 2006/03/29
Arctic Cooling has done it again with the Accelero and raised the standard in VGA cooling. Integrating heatpipes into the VGA cooler seems to be the right move for Arctic Cooling and the Accelero series proved them right. Powered by 6 heatpipes, the Arctic Cooling was not only able to improve performance, but also minimize the overall weight of the cooler. The rubberized fan design is also first of its kind and the PWM deflector helps to keep power regulators cool and making it quieter than their previous VGA coolers.

I'm very impressed that it did pwn the V1 Ultra which has an 80mm fan.

I'm surprised how little the review talks about noise, because a normal 80mm fan at 2500 RPM or the stock fan will not match the Accellero fan at all.
