Bjorn3D takes a look at the Artic Cooling Accelero XTREME 4870X2.
We all known Artic Cooling for years now, not just because they have some of the quietest GPU coolers on the planet, but for their uncanny ability to incorporate a stylish design with great cooling capacity. When anyone is looking for a GPU cooler to help cool their video cards Artic Cooling is always one of the first ones to get mentioned, by both entry level people and also those from the enthusiast crowd.
We also know that ATI's HD4870X2 to be both powerful, and lets not forget its ability to run hot. When the 4870X2 video card came out the only true way on cooling this monster of a video card down, was by using a water block. While that does not bother most of us Enthusiast types of people, this limitation definitely put a big 'NO WAY' to the entry/average user. The end result was most of the end users ended up either putting up with the extremely loud fan on the 4870X2 video card (by ramping it up to 50-100%) or just dealt with the extreme heat this card produced, therefore shortening the life of this video card drastically.
How does Artic Cooling and the 4870X2 tie into each other? Well, heres a simple answer, Artic Cooling finally listened to our pleas for an after market cooler for the4870X2 video card. So lets give a good look at the new Air cooler from Artic Cooling the Accelero XTREME 4870X2.
