It's not as loud, but since it's still connected to the 8800GT's fan header, it's still controlled by the 8800GT's BIOS so it may still ramp up and become noisy.
With the Accelero, you just put that quiet 120mm fan there and it's good even when you push your card.
I agree, I didn't need to put a fan on mine, but then again I have an Antec 900, not the quietest case , but definitely has good air circulation
Sure I could have used a fan on the heatsink, but dang, I don't have any spares left
Well the reason Im asking about the GTS G92 noise is that theres one for 210AR and the ECS GT is 195AR. So its like $15 for a slightly faster card but non-silent card.
I'm running my 8800GT + Accelero S1 w/o a fan as well. It now idles ~ 50C, but my case is a cramped SG03. Not too bad for passive cooling in a cramped case.
When tightening the heatsink down, is it better to use the screws that came with it ? or the original ones with the springs attached?
also, how tight are you supposed to tighten them down?
well.... im really dissapointed. I bought one off fleabay and they sent me the wrong thing. I know what i ordered and the model number was the same on newegg performance pc's and any other place. And guess what? when it arrived it wasnt the right one because it didnt fit my card.
Can you use these on SLI'ed cards? How do you use the SLI connector when installed on two cards?
AC sells a longer, flexible bridge.
What's the best way to attach a 120mm fan?
I have a ziptie on each corner, but worry that they're straining the S1. Are two enough for the entire fan?
Thanks. Didn't know.
Can you use the standard sli bridge on 8800GT's in SLI using the accelero s1? Or do you need the long flexible one?
Since this thread came back up..
Just 2 days ago i got rid of those twin turbo crappy fans and zip tied a 120mm slow fan. Temps didnt really change, so i suppose its ok. Maybe 1-2C hotter.
I found it on their website, but its a link for ebay. I don't have an ebay account of paypal nor do I want one. Is their any other place that sells them?
You need a flexible bridge, Arctic Cooling sells one on their site but you can find them cheaper elsewhere.
I have the flexible sli bridge that came with my Asus M2N32 motherboard
would this be ok although it's just 8cm long instead of the 12cm long one advrtised by AC?
great review, and did you use the fan to push toward or away from the cooler?
Here is my experience with the Accerlero on my 8800gt. I was getting mad at it heating up and artifacting in TF2 after an hour or so. I volt modded my card and will use Rivatuner to push it further when I put an extra fan on it. (Redneck style) No problems yet. I have some pics but Im not sure how to post them here without hosting them somewhere...
I had a hard time installing this thing (Those plastic L + T addons are annoying as hell! Kudos to anyone who managed to install them), but the temperatures are quite pleasing.
Beforehand I had a Zalman VF-830 on my card (Factory installed):
Idle: 49-50C | Load: 65-67C
Switching to my old Zalman VF-900 didn't help so much:
Idle: 47-50C | Load: 67-72C
With the Accelero (And the turbo module):
Idle: 45-46C | Load: 55C
The load improvement is the most important to me, so I'm quite satisfied with it
The photos in the first post are down.
Could someone please reupload them.
Thanks
