patented vibration muffler. Complex airflow simulations were conducted during development
of the fan, the results were incredible cooling performance at extremely low noise levels as a
result of to 6 heatpipes. ARCTIC COOLING offers for this series a 6 year limited warranty.

it looks like AC is thinking in my direction


Now where is the bigger fan?

I doesn't seem they are "thinking in your direction" , as bigger fan is not always better, and a small one which can focus airflow on a small area will often be more effective than a large one which blows air every which way

The Accelero will not replace the current Silencer's; The Accelero is marketed at higher end VGA air cooling

Does that mean there will be a seperate silencer for the x1800XT?

that I don't know:)
