Arctic Cooling Accelero S2 - Passive Graphics Cooler
Test Results
Published: 21st May 2007 | Source: Arctic Cooling | Price: |
Here are the results of my testing on the Arctic Cooling Accelero S2 vs the very slightly modified stock cooler:
Idle Temperature (°C) | Load Temperature (°C) | |
| Stock Cooler | 45 | 58 |
| Arctic Cooling Accelero S2 | 37 | 47 |
These are some pretty impressive numbers for the Arctic Cooing Accelero S2. 8°C cooler at idle and 11°C cooler at load is awesome.
What you also have to consider is that the S2 is a totally passive solution, albeit your case airflow has to be decent to achieve a good result.
Noise
Usually I would tell you about my thoughts on noise but there is little to say other than there is no noise from this cooler - totally passive.
In the future I will have sound testing equipment to test out more coolers, but I don't think this is necessary here!

Awesome Review 
And WOW, 37C using an entirely passive cooler? That's pretty damn nice!
How heavy is that thing btw? I looks like it would put a lot of stress on the card.

I know I was quite honestly shocked. I had to check and double check the figures
Jeeze thats big. You rekon it could cope with the load of an 8800 though kemp? Maybe if you added a fan?
Well the S1 has 4 heatpipes and an add-in fan module so i would guess you'd be ok.
Wow that is insanely large, but awesome temps. Great review as usual Kemp 
hey, I found that is on sale here! just $18.70
