crazy. But given the performance of the Arctic Silencers, I'm sure these bad boys will rock. Only thing I don't like is they dont appear to exhaust out the back of the case. I always liked that.
Yeah, i hope they do exhaust teh hot air out, but by the looks of them, they won't.Quote:

thats the stupidest thing ive ever seen:slap:
lol, what is that supposed to mean, be glad some company's are innovative :)Quote:

the old one was very good, but it was so damm big it blocked 2 of the 4 ports on my mobo. :(
nice design, by the looks of it there are 3 heatpipes too, also to me it looks like it mounts with the vent facing the mobo, probably wrong.
They'll get some competition from these ;)

Tim, there is a difference between innovation, and dumbass new ideas.. This product falls under the later category.

I had an AC NV silencer 5 rev 3. Worst cooler I've ever owned. I will NEVER buy ANYTHING from that company again. I can't believe a cooler could be as bad as the thing I bought.
why do you peoipl,e find this dumb. it appears to exaust air out. look at it, it looks to be dual slot design. with that one top most row of fins lining up with a pci slot to exaust air.
its great how people can much such comments on it yet have seen NOTHING on performance, hell, they dont even know how it mounts.
Those are ugly and don't get the heat out of the case
what was so wrong with it? I've owned some of the older arctic silencer's, and they were all GREAT coolers.Quote:

The origional arctic cooler was a great cooler.
The ones after that have been subpar in the quality deparment and the fit and finish leaves something to be desired aswell.
trakslacker, glad you liked my comment. between 5-8 of my posts sitting in sigs now. MaxxxRacer will proliferate the world! ;) jk
wait and see.
however, the exhaust strategy looks poor at this point..
There you go, press release and spec sheet.

That was just about the name, I have no doubts they are good coolers like all other products from Arctic Cooling :)Quote:

I dont see how that suprises you seeing how they x1900 uses the same sort of PCB. What I find shocking is that the CFM on the fan for this cooler is *under* 10CFM :nono:Quote:

I will, however, be interested to see how this turns out.
Oh come on, all we have is 1 picture, and we are all ready saying it sucks?:rolleyes:
The main point for this one, it seems, is noise reduction. Their current NV Silencer 5 (Rev. 3) is 0.9 sone, with the new one's 0.4 that ought to more than halve noise. Performance/noise ratio has always been a trade-off, and Arctic Cooling have been aiming at low noise, so this is probably the right move (if data's correct).
Numbers of the data sheet sound nice, but it is a no-go for me in case hot air aint blown out of the case...
Same here - the blower out the back is the clincher, tho they are the quietest VGA hs / fan I've ever seen.

Reviews of this new cooler. Looks good. :)
nice bit, cool heatpipes etc.
only down bit is that it doesnt blow the hot air out of the case and it blows the hot air onto the motherboard.
i think a design were hot air gets blown outside fo teh case should b doable also with heatpipes so i wonder why they didnt go that route.
heh reading now, was just about to post them.:)
This is stupid
http://www.ngohq.com/images/articles...x2/Website.jpg
The heat is blown into the mobo :slap:
Just read the review, and they look great, better than the stock heatsink at 100% load, which is pretty awesome, and the noise levels are good, ill be ordering one when there available.:)
it amazes me how some of these things get out of the design phase.. lol. If the fan drew air the other direction and spit it out through the "turbine" area that would be quite a bit better imo... burying the hot air into the mobo to have it pool there at the base of the socket it just silly. Maybe that's what they mean by "unique cooling design". heh.. anyways.. my $0.02Quote:

Im very disapointed with this new AC design.
The test are done with the X1800 and not X1800XT or XTPE -with runs hotter.
I dont think it can do a better job with volts at 1,45 and clocks above 700core/800mem.
The must be a better alternative now when the new AC not are using the exhaust system anymore.
Has someone tried to mod one of the Silencers to fit the X1800XT, or tried different coolers with good results?
Have tried the Zalman VF700-CU, but this doesnt make a better job.
Air flow seems to be particulary useless :(
I love so much my Aqua 690 :D

I am not an expert, nor am I claiming to have one of these. But there are two things I worry about from this cooler.
First the overall design, blowing air down into the motherboard seems a bit strange, their exhaust out of the case was one of the MAJOR selling points about Arctic Coolers, it won't be long till Zalman and others bring out a gfx cooler similar or better than these accelero's now that AC don't use the exhaust out of the back I'll not be buying one for the x1800. I don't know why they designed out their best feature personally. Seems like they are shooting themselves in the foot.
Secondly, the design blows out air over the voltage regulators atthe back of the card, I'd have thought these get very hot, and such warm air blowing over hot components and then onto the chipset. Another completely odd design.
I was thinking they could have simply curved the fins inside, so instead of the fins aiming down to the motherboard, curve them to face out of the back of the case - to me this seems the most logical course of action, you get the unique rear exhaust feature found on the Arcitc Coolers, but also the new heatpipe design of the Accelero's.
One other thing, how long do you think they ran those accelero's for, I'm betting for not more than half an hour just to get the results, as well as having the side of the case off, how else would they have measured db of the cooler?
If this is the case the reviewers havent shown what happens after prolonged use in a closed case, with the side oanel on, and after a day of use and hours of gaming, I am sure the accelero would abnormally increase the temperature inside the case.
Anyway, again I don't claim this to be set in stone, simply an avid XS readers POV.
I've always been a fan of AC, their products are high performance with minimal noise (unless you want to oc). Reviews look really promising. Where can I buy a air of these puppies? :cool:
i bet the tests were done in a mobo outside a case.
The test were done without the sidepanel on.. -I wonder why.
oh, ok, in a case...but no sidepanel.Quote:

I might e-mail the testers and see if they can provide more info.
Edit - Great, I can't seem to send an e-mail to NGOHQ.com as when I try and send them a message from their site I get the following error:
The string you entered for the image verification did not match what was displayed.
I'll try e-mailing the other site
Edit 2 - Just noticed the we did not use a side panel bit on the techpowerup review. What was the point in this, we need to see the Accelero tested in default, normal setup as in with a side panel on and 2 relatively low powered case fans. That will give the best test of the cooler.
As inside a closed case, it will have to use the air inside the case, and if as I fear the car will be dumping hot air into the case surely the performance will suffer after extended use. Say 3 hours of looping 3DMark 2005 and I reckon we'll see the true nature of the accelero
I liked this from the first review link :
"Cons : None!!"
Give me a break ...:rolleyes:
Taken from the review:
Quote:
Temperature was measured with one case side open by reading the on-die thermal diode of our ATI Radeon X1800 XL PCI-Express. Idle temperature was measured after letting Windows sit one hour at the desktop. Load temperature was measured after running 3DMark2003 looped for one hour. Both at the card's default clock of 500 / 495 MHz.
I think it performs like hell :D..
And it isen´t THAT bad it blows air at the motherboard.. Though i´d prefered an Silencer-style, where the air comes out of the case.
I hope zalman comes with something that cools great, but has a better design.
By the way, have you notices ThermalRight´s v-1 Ultra ? That is a nice GPU cooler :toast: http://www.thermalright.com/a_page/m...ct_v1ultra.htm
Though, it has combabillity-problems :slapass:
they arent on there homepage yet.
Maybe they wont be launced afterall?
Meh.. i'm not impressed with the cooler. The two reasons why i've owned Arctic cooling products were that they performed well AND..... exhausted outside the case. Other coolers perform well.... and since Arctic-Cooling has now gotton rid of their exhaust duct design... they're right in the same boat as everyone else IMO.
Btw... I can care less about noise. My computer is already noisy with the fans runnning at 12v and i usually wear headphones while playing games and could care less when doing heavy video editing.
My X800XL AGP which i had previious to this setup didn't bug me with an Arctic-Cooling Silencer modified to work with a Panaflo 80mm U1A fan (the stock Arctic-Cooling fan fried within an hour of owning it), which seriously blew incredibly hard out the back of the case and was very noisy... i don't think many others will bug me.

i completely disagree with you the air will not get hot enough to make the power components get hot but will actually cool them this i am sure ofQuote:

then drill and tap in screws to match the mounting of your card and buy some small screws to screw it in and some small springs.
all those things could be had at homedepot cheap
you could also cut the fins down 1/2 inch or so and make the cooler more compact if you think its too large taking up too many slots
this would make a cooler that performs near watercooling levels but cost 10-15 total for the project!
