    Yup. Or in the case of the DFI mobos right onto the chipset / chipset cooler.

    quoted for truth

    i read that review at techpowerup...isnt it kind of irrelevant to compare to the xt since the xl doesnt exhaust the hot air out like the xt does? nice review though. good pics...looks like the quality has improved cuz i really was unhappy with the last arctic cooling product i used, which was with the x800 series


    that being said, i cant wait for ur review dnottis!

    The XL doesnt put out nearly the heat of an X1800XT, especially when the X1800XT is overclocked. I have it installed and am gathering results.

    I can run max CCC or the PE bios with my Zalman VF-700 - I wont yet say how the Accelero fares at 700/800

    oooh yeah u got the zalman!

    dont forget to compare at different fan speeds for all the coolers please!

    we all know how u hate the stock at 100 percent...but jes walk out of the room or turn up a radio or something


    edit: just read that review over at ngohq...

    We will find out how the first GPU cooler with heat pipes technology performs.
    maybe someone should tell them about the thermalright v-1

    I wonder why they didnt do any overclocking tests? Wonder if his results were as dismal as mine?

    ......yeah pump some voltage on RAM and core and let's see what happens

    from what i can see if you are runnin STOCK clocks you will benefit from quieter cooling on GFX card........might send the chipset temp and fan into overdrive on DFI but that's another matter isn't it

    interesting to see your results dnottis

    try undervolting the X1800XT mem i was pleasantly surprised it clocked much higher

    SIOUX said to under to 2.034v which helped him and i tried it with stock heatsink on my HIS X1800XT didn't do much

    then i went water and tried lower at 1.985v mem and went from 936 to 963mhz artifact free and 972-981 with slight artifact in GT3 in 3d2k05 - before any higher than 936 would lock up 3dmarks heh

    I just received an email from my marketing contact at AC. They shipped the coolers with washers attached - this was a mistake and they need to be removed. This spacing is most likely causing contact issues with the core and memory.

    You can see them here...




    I'll have to re-attach and try it later.




    Funny - the other sites that already posted reviews would have just gotten this info as well....
