New VGA cooler? Artic Cooling looking good again

[kempez]

Swiss cooler manufacturer ARCTIC COOLING launches new series of Graphic card coolers named Accelero (X1 for ATI X1800/ X1900 Series and X2 for NVDIA 6800/ 7800 Series). Vibrations caused by the rotating fan are absorbed by a 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.
Both models will be available by end of February 2006. The MSRP is each only USD 33.-.

They don't look like they are going to expel out the case anymore so are they still dual slot?

[Smokey21]

Iam waiting for it, as the Zalman has very indifferent results on the X1800XT.

Oooh they look a bit tastey Not really sure about all those heatpipes tbh... Which friggin way round is it sposed to go... I guess it has to blow towards the end of the card e.g. into the case...?

DOH!

Looks like Techpowerup got things a little muddled up, judging by that Data Sheet.

X1 = NVIDIA 6800/7800

X2 = ATI X1800/X1900

when are they coming to the UK? Are they already available?

[Smokey21]

Not available yet. I hope they perform well, im waiting to see how good they are on a X1800XT. The Zalman gets mixed results.

[killkoy]

looks pretty good, much better performance for alot queiter
i wasnt impressed by the way they subsituted the provided thermal paste far arctic silver though
although it probably wouldnt make much difference they should be reviewing the arctic cooler not the arctic silver

I heard it was 40DB.

Should be a good buy for Smokey, offers similar to better-ish results at a MUCH lower noise.

I'm still loving my Zalman. Probably getting this for my 7800GT when it comes out.. definitely

Bearing in mind the other one is with no case, but this is only with a X1800XL.

Looks pretty good, ill be getting one for sure, allow me to overclock, without reaching 80C, or getting good clocks and having it as loud as hell.

[ultim8um]

Yeah they do look tasty dont they
Wonder how long it will be until we can actually buy one...

[Smokey21]

Next month.
