Arctic Cooling Accelero XTREME Plus
The Accelero XTREME Plus is a multi-compatible cooler for high-end VGA boards. While high-end VGA stock coolers are usually noisy and inefficient, ARCTIC develops the Accelero XTREME Plus, a much more effective inaudible cooling solution, for users to replace those stock coolers.
- Unmatched cooling performance – 250 Watts – for a multi-compatible VGA cooler
- 3 ultra quiet 92mm PWM fans with low noise impeller
- 5 heatpipes and 84 fins for efficient heat dissipation
- Patented fan holder eliminates buzzing and vibrating sound
- Pre-applied ARCTIC MX-4
- Compatible with CrossFire and SLI
Another key feature in the Accelero XTREME Plus is its interchangeable mounting plate for vast compatibility for new or yet to be released graphic cards. Along with the Accelero XTREME Plus, users need to purchase and install a set of accessories with their cooler, including a mounting frame, thermal glue, heat sinks for RAM coolers, and heat sinks for voltage regulators1.
Rather than having several VGA coolers designated for specific graphic cards, ARCTIC develops this generic model of cooler and various accessory sets to make the cooler compatible with different VGA boards. As new VGA cards are released, ARCTIC will design and release new fittings; hence this makes the Accelero XTREME Plus very versatile for overclockers to upgrade their computers frequently. This also helps overclockers to provide quick and effective cooling solution for new graphic boards.
Since the fan models in the Accelero XTREME series have proven to be inaudible and effective, the Accelero XTREME Plus adopts a similar design. The three 92mm PWM fans run from 900-2000 RPM to generate enough airflow to dissipate heat quickly from the GPU.
The cooling performance and noise level in the Accelero series offers promising results. When the Accelero XTREME Plus is used with ATI Radeon HD 5870 graphic card, the noise level is 0.5 sone with temperature maintaining at 41°C at 2000 RPM. However, when the stock cooler runs at the same speed, it is 3.5 sone with temperature at 77°C. With this comparison, it is evident that Accelero XTREME Plus manages to reduce temperature effectively at minimum noise level. The patented fan holder on this cooler also plays a prominent role in reducing noise to a minimum level as it eliminates the vibrating sound of the fan with the frame.
With the proven engineering design in Accelero XTREME Plus along with its new multi-compatibility with many VGA boards, overclocking can be maximized. The Accelero XTREME Plus can for sure enhance overclocking performance and also extend service life of VGA board as well.
