x1900xt stock hsf

not true at all... VF900 is worse than stock, and accelero is better, but it does increase case temps, i'll give you that..

This has been my experience as well. In fact, I just stuck the Accelero on a few hours ago. Here's what I found...


X1900XT
Ambient temp of 24C
Antec P180 3 Tricool's on Med: 1 middle front, 1 middle rear, 1 HDD
Fear Combat for 10 minutes

Zalman VF900 @ 100%
Arctic Ceramique
GPU: 79C
CPU: 41C
SYS: 41C

Accelero X2 @ 100%
Arctic Ceramique
GPU: 69C
CPU: 39C
SYS: 45C

The Accelero has the added bonus of being almost silent, whereas the Zalman can be heard...don't get me started on the leaf blower. So I'll def be keeping the Accelero, but I may stick another fan up top to help with system flow. Why oh why couldn't AC just stick to DHES...
