Arctic Cooling Accelero Twin Turbo VGA Cooler - Part 1 - Unboxing/Installation

[MrRunescapenut]

Dose this cooler blow into the case or out the back of the card?

[JJSideshowBob]

that music is mildly disturbing...

[amindumaru]

Where is Evanescence???????????????????­?

[Crittique]

I've installed this cooler on my Sapphire HD4850.

What issues did you run into with the RAM and VRM coolers?

Did you end up editing the GPU BIOS to get the fans going or do you just use apps to control them?

[tricccple]

when i had the 4850 i modded the fan speed, but not from bios , just the profile

[legendarytomuk]

Dunno if this will help (n00b), but I thought that the fans control themselves as long as you power them directly from the PSU rather than the card.

[Crittique]

@legendarytomuk

Yes the fans will be at a constant 100% fan speed if connected via 4pin molex with no variable fan control what so ever.

If there is a power connector available to the card then well......should use it.

Editing the GPU BIOS in RBE and flashing the card with ATiWinFlash did the job.

[wownabril]

You think it will fit a 5870? and if you think it will fit a midtower using 2 5870's combined with CrossfireX?

[tricccple]

i'm not sure if it fits that, but about having 2 cards in mid tower case it's the matterof the design on pcie slots

[geraldlkc]

Hv u ever REALLY tried their legacy VGA cards? Or had u juz started off recently with the later versions of ATi only? Like I said...mine was through experience. Not sure I started off on GeForce 256 or ATi's Rage Pro first, on the very PC I'd bought a decade ago.

[MysticExile111]

The VGA cooler add-on seems to almost double the card's size in height. How well does it fit in the case? Would a mid-tower work, or would you recommend full-tower?

[tricccple]

@MysticExile111 takes 2.5 slots but it's not large, as long as u have about 2 extra pci slot of space, ur good with it

[MysticExile111]

Ah yes. I just took a look inside my computer and I see it now. This will indeed fit with some room to spare. Thanks!

[tiagom135]

im gonna get this because my 8800gt fan fail

[error262]

my ATI Radeon 4850 [gigabyte] with zalman cooler that came stock with it doesn't get hotter than 60°C and its overclocked [gpu from 625mhz to 700mhz and memory from 993mhz to 1053mhz] and i love it [idle temp is 36°C]

[aschris87]

its time to get the dremal out on that ramsink lol...

[CJCA915]

I am a Nvidia person, always had better performance with Nvidia than ATI.

[geraldlkc]

Me 2...Nvidia lover here. And a proud owner of MX-2, FX5200, FX6800, 8600GT, 8800GT and 275GTX. I' d always had so much problems with ATi. Not bias ATi, but through experience.

Nvidia:

Performance 12/10

Eye-candy 8.5/10

ATi:

Performance 8/10

Eye-candy 10/10

[thierryvt]

overall that's true but mostly depending on what game you're playing.

[GENERAL1002]

Picked one up today. Used ur vid to install it properly. Only difference was I was using the Diamond 4850. Same thing, different sticker...Kudos on 4:40-5:00. I was like "WTF" trying to get that last sink on.

The only thing buyers should be concerned about is the glue on the ram coolers. It's kinda kife. Had to get a glue stick and add a bit more to hold them in place properly. Runs quiet as ever. Went from a 75c idle to a 40c idle. Can barely hear the fans at 100%. This beast DOES take space!

[187Homie187]

Getting one for my 8800GT. Hope it stays cool when playin mw2!

[qYp88]

I think I'll get one one this week , my video card is kind of burning and sounds like an jetplane . I play dirt2 with 100% fan speed , but it reaches 100C, new cooler is a must!

[qYp88]

won't that memory with the heatsink touching the heatpipe be more exposed to overheating?

[tricccple]

not really, memory don't get that hot

[kainhall]

humm, im buyying one becaseu my memory does get hot on my 9800gt super clocked. cant run a single game.

the 7800gt IS a 8800gt IS a 9800gt.

there he same cards with a different sticker AMD AND ATI ALL THE WAY

not trying to argue but my memory acculy makes the card go into emergency shutdown and it....shuts down in the middle of a game..

thanks

[CJCA915]

@kainhall My 9400GT runs games great, and doesn't overheat, it's max temp is 105C.

[kainhall]

well any thing over 100 makes me shit my pants. now my card CAN do 110, thats the max before it frys permenatly, so any thing 100+ i freak out. if find that nvidia cards are always hot. hell my 9800gt has NO ram sinks. ati is cooler. and right now ati is on top with the 5970, DX11 (nvidia does not have DX11)

anyway, buy yout overpriced (they are look at the equivevnets like a 9800gt is like a 4670) and the ati will be cheaper every time.

[CJCA915]

My GPU right now is not even 50C, on load it doesn't even get anywhere close to 100C.

The only cooling my card has is the little stock fan.

Good for ATI, granted nothing is DX11 yet, except maybe a game or 2, most games are barely DX10.

Actually, my card was about $65, and I hope to get a better card soon, for free, friend is sending me a new video card, well, for what I do, it's perfect, I been looking up games using this card, and it's perfect.

So what if they are cheaper.

[CJCA915]

I buy what I need, not some overpowered card, that does more than what I need it to, if I can play Crysis, I am good.

My new card I hope to have soon is an 8800GT, and it plays Crysis just fine, on higher resolutions than I play at, so for me, it will be superb, I am not a hardcore gamer.

[TomoSLB]

im going to get these for my extremely hot 9800GTX's

[mizzom3]

LOL I find the long shots and music in this video hilarious, but anyway buy this GPU Cooler if you're in the market for one. I got mine brand spankin' new off eBay for $36 US.

My XFX 9800 GT used to idle at 56C and max out at 90C. Now my temps are, I shit you not, 37C idle/52C max (Overclocked at 700MHz Core/1000 MHz Memory).

[Prukari]

Quite uninformative, long, boring and with excessive shots from different angles. There's no info, the viewer has to rely on the somewhat low quality visuals for everything. How are the ramsinks fastened? Why are there no shots from the actual fastening of the heatsink? Did the heatsink fit the 4850 or not? It seemed like one ramsink didn't quite fit but in the end the viewer never finds out if this is a problem or not.

I won't complain about the music, since everyone has different taste.

[tricccple]

my original sound was muted by youtube, hence the music, it's audioswap thing, but anyways, this is not a review video, just showing what i got and as much info i can provide after night shift etc, don't take it too seriously man, not like i have a sponsor.

[pleasure1903]

i have HD4870 512mb which one is better

Arctic Cooling Accelero S1 Rev.2 ve Turbo Module

or twin turbo ?

[tricccple]

i don't know man, i never try the other one

[punkatsub]

does this work for the 8600gtx nivida graphics card series?, as i need to know as where i am living in australia it can get up to 40-50 degrees outside and i need a better heatsink.

[tricccple]

if u go on google and search for arctic cooling website it listed all supported model

[PBMS123]

bit of an overexaggeration i think, 40-50 degrees, unless ur living on a giant BBQ or under a magnifying glass, in summer maybe a max of 34 degrees.

[punkatsub]

not an over statement seriously here in australia where i am, it can get f***ing hot

[PBMS123]

Im from australia too mate, 50C would be absolutely unbearable and unlivable, i can agree 40c in some places but like the max you would get in major cities or towns would be around 32-34c

[punkatsub]

yes, however like i said i live in a area in australia that does reach to 40-45 degrees in the summer

[sklzlm]

This will work fine with an ATI HD 4870 right?

[tricccple]

it says support 4870 but i never tried

[MrAirshot]

yesterday i installed one like this to my 8800gt

but without the fans . and i install 2 12cm fans on it

WOW 38 C in the games .before he was going up to 80 even 90 C

[tricccple]

yeah it actually doesn't take much to cool a GPU, but as hardware gets cheaper, the material it use become cheaper, many stock coolers are nothing but "operational" purposes

[MrAirshot]

but some of the memory cooler the thermal low cant keep him in place .what can i do

[tricccple]

maybe some double sided tape

[tricccple]

I dunno, but it takse about 3 slots (including the card itself)

[tricccple]

original cooler don't have heatsinks for memory, and yes there's a double sided tape or u to put it on, and the chip is screw on in the back

there' sno need for thermal paste on the memory

[RyanSnyder775]

at the start i thought it sadi triple erection Epic Lulz

[tricccple]

LOL

[MX3R43]

how did you get the ram sinks to stick? mine just fall off. i cleaned em off with rubbing alcohol before-hand, and even tried the eraser method, no dice.

[tricccple]

press down, attach it properly, and then just let it sit for a while b4 u install the fan

[MX3R43]

yeah i tried re-placing the two that weren't sticking and it worked :). gonna go put this in my rig and see how it works out. thanks.

[neurotoksin]

COOOOOL STICKER!!

[GridTec]

Hey i just bought one of these for my 4870. How many pci brackets does it take up?

[tricccple]

takes 2

[GridTec]

so does that mean it takes 3 slots? including the actual card

[tricccple]

card and cooler takes 2 and a bit more, so technically 3

[tugfngjfuvj]

2 plus 1 for the Card itself

So the Card with the cooler needs 3 Slots.

[HAWX9]

3 PCI slots !

[UndeadGunz]

is this better than his's iceq4?

[tricccple]

i don't know, i never tried iceq4, HIS cards are too expensive for me

[UndeadGunz]

Right now on newegg, it costs about 20 dollars more than the regular ones because of the price drops because of the upcoming directx11 cards.

[azngujuonf1r3]

hey the fans have two 3-pin fan connectors, but doesnt the HD4850 only have one connector? I am asking because i have a 4850 and i wanna buy this cooler

[tricccple]

the connector on the 4850 is in different dimension then the cooler pins

[azngujuonf1r3]

so you connected to the power supply? How were you able to control the fan speeds?

[tricccple]

the cooler comes with a small adapter, u can be able to install it on the board, or u can choose to connect power, it's not loud even at 100% anyways

[azngujuonf1r3]

umm, how do you control it with CCC?

[tricccple]

enable overdrive

[azngujuonf1r3]

oh so even if it is plugged in the power supply, it will still be able to be controlled in with overdrive? I didn't know that lol, i thought it had to be plugged into the GPU

[tricccple]

no no , i was saying, u have 2 options, use the adapter that comes with the cooler and connect to the video card's pcb board, or use molex power, adapter u can control, molex no

[azngujuonf1r3]

oh okay. So if i choose to connect to the card's pcb board, i'll only be able to connect 1 fan right?

[tricccple]

no both fan to one connector

[georc16]

where did you buy this from? i've been lookin for it but i haven't found a reputable vendor that sells it yet. newegg doesn't have it :'(

[tricccple]

i live in toronto, i usually go to canadacomputer

[S0lidSnake001]

I swear to god, I am going to lose my fuking mind if I hear this song again....everyone keeps using it! annoying as hell!!!

[tricccple]

I swear i hate this song as muhc as u, damn, i don't even know this song i picked (used random pick after youtube disable my audio) freaking changing it right now

[markooal]

Maybe I will buy this for my HD4890, hm..

[Anakin90]

I just got this on my 4850 and it's soooooo silent.

[bensonak47]

im gonna buy this cooler soon....

[rifleair]

i must get one for my 8800gt

so did your graphic card performance get better??

[jaesungauzakim]

Its huge. lol

[MGlBlaze]

Looks like that heatsink is basically an S1R2 with a permanent turbo module, really.

[CallmeRoth]

It has more fins and is physically smaller than an S1 I believe. It also has the mounting holes of both the S1 and S2. Therefore fits smaller and bigger cards.

[a1boforcen]

what a noob kid

[exemsexis]

Nice enough but would like more detail, on how u installed heatsinks for example and where exactly...

[tricccple]

don't have a tripod otherwise i would make a process vid, otherwise, it really just put the position and then 4 screws in the back, the rest just the matter of holding it steady

have you seen the xfx 9800gt fan and GPU case, all the other partners use proper cases and fans, Im gonna get one of these before I oc, make it look like a beast?

[Blunder1248]

I would just take a die grinder to that heat sink! Then it will Fit! :)

[tricccple]

don't have one of these

[Blunder1248]

Could always get a 30 quid dremel! And they come in well handy for DIY!

[tricccple]

9600GT is one of the compatible ones

[MattyHild]

same with a 8800 GT

[kodoku42]

I plan to get that particular cooler for my 8800GT so I could get more stable overclocks. Nice video BTW :)

[tricccple]

good cooler, good price too.

[Matiaxx89]

ive got another guestion, the heat sinks in the front, I dont know If I could get it on there,

thoose on (4.16)

[tricccple]

i'm not sure what ur 1950 pro looks like but htne the box says it suppose these x1950 so i guess it should be fine

[tricccple]

the video card is to 6pin PCIE from psu, and the fan is connected to the video card, it can also be connected to psu by using the molex adapter that came with the package

[Matiaxx89]

Is the installation simillar on a sapphire 1950 pro? will it fit?

[tricccple]

probably easiler on 1950 pro, the product seem to release way b4 HD4xxx was around

[Matiaxx89]

Cool :D but when I put the heatsinks in, should I get rid of the "pillows" that is on it?

and clean it, whats the "rockets" for? =D

[Neosferaku]

man i need a gfx cooler..

very nice cooler there triple.

[dizzy3001]

Nice vid, interested to see the benchmarking results.

The heatpipes look a bit bent, probably why it is lower on one side ay.

[tricccple]

that's what i mean about low quality, it came like that, probably bad quality control, but then again, it's cheaper cooler, Part 2 is up testing results are there

[RoflCopter895]

Great Vid, Now that im making 650$ a month i'm gonna be able to buy much more from you for my computer :P Be ready! i might randomly call you up >:] Grats on the new part!! Ttyl~

[tricccple]

buy exclusive triplec reviewed products!!!! (used sounded cheap lol)

[tricccple]

maybe

[superharry626]

and i have that same screwdriver! what a coincidence..

[tricccple]

LOL

[superharry626]

lucky you.. you always seem to be getting more and more computer hardware :p

[tricccple]

i intend to, buy, sell, etc
