What graphics card cooler do you use?

Bolletje · Dec 31, 2009, 01:14 AM

Well, since there already was a thread about the CPU coolers, I thought It would be nice to create one for VGA cooler too

I'm using (not atm actually) a Arctic Accelero S1 Rev 2. I'm quite happy with it. I also have the add-on Turbo Modules. I bought the combo for 15 euro from another fella, although he hadn't used it.

The cooler can cool a lot of cards passively, so absolutely no noise. That's a big plus imo.

Pros
- Cheap
- Vararity of cards are supported
- Can cool a lot of cards passively

Cons
- Takes up to 3 slots w/ Turbo Module

I would like to hear your findings about your cooler.

My donated X1900XT came with a Gigabyte V-Power.

Pros:

-Cools my X1900XT effectively
-Quiet
-Has red LED
-Free!

Cons:
-no fan control

I'm content with my stock cooler. Under full load at the maximum stable overclock it can keep temperatures at 77 degrees at 100% fan speed.

I use the Accelero S1 rev2 too, together with the AC Fan 12 PWM.

It is inexpensive, almost noiseless and the temperatures are great.

Let's see here.

On my HTPC i have the Raedon HD4550 with stock cooler
The second PC in the house(girlfriend's gaming computer) is running the 4850 with the ICE Q Turbo cooler from HIS
my 5770 is running stock cooler since it performs extremely well and no need for an after market even at peak load on the OC in my details

I have a set of accelero S1 rev 2's on the SLI setup on my brother's computer which runs two 8600 GT's with those coolers passively. Though it was VERY interesting fitting the SLI bridge through the fins of one cooler without breaking anything but now that that is done it works well

BTW that is one hell of a modded card bolletje

Still only a stock cooler on my aging HD3850, was considering another cooler but temps are fine as they are

I've been using an Accelero S1 Rev 2 on my HD3870 and now it sits on my HD5850, with a small fan added for extra cooling. I was going to wait for a AC Twin Turbo Pro but tried the old Accelero S1 and was glad that it did so well. It's a huge cooler after all.

Using a Coolink GFX Chilla on my 9500GT passively in my HTPC. Everything I run stock.
