8800 & 1950XTX, which one is hotter??? a lot of different in temp between this two vga??? cause they did test the S1 on 1950XTX, but didn't show the temp result for it passive lak tu [Link]
CrossFire somemore, which doubles the heat trap in chassis wonder S1 can cool 1950XTX



klu 1950XTX leh pkai passive, apa lg GeForce 6 & 7 Series @ Radeon 18XX & 19XX Sereis


me also didn't find any answer for it

but after thinking bout it again & again, how stupid am i for not noticing it, it surely fits 120mm fan, cause:



1st: see the dimension for S2 (the 2 Heatpipe), 140(L) x 188(W) x 32(H) mm, from the dimension only u already can know it will fit 120mm

2nd: okay, let say it cannot fit 120mm fan on it, instead 90mm can, then there will be some area of the heatpipe not gonna cool off, cause the 90mm fan won't able to cover the area of the extended heatpipe if 2x90mm fan can cover the whole length of the cooler, but not the it's width... can u imagine using 90mm fan on Ultra-120 or Noctua NH-U12

then this will be the 1st VGA Cooler that can mount 120mm fan on it i'm also impress with it's weight, only 202g now just left to know is the minimum case size for it


seeing the pic also make me scared of the clearance issue macam nak terkeluar je cooler tu u even can't see the other X1950XTX cause being block by the top cooler, damn, so big





see the S1, if cannot mount 120mm fan, i dunno what to say la, what bout the other 2 heatpipe at each end, how it gonna cool off

Zalman VF700-Cu is enough for the job

don't bother getting those high-end cooler, trust me ppl will recommend u a high-end vga cooler cause it's easy for u if u upgrade to a new vag card la & yada, yada, yada....

by the time u upgrade ur vga card, ur "high-end" cooler will be outdated already

let's all together do some logical thinking ya

ur cooler will not be blocking another vga for SLI/XFire cause if u doing SLI/XFire, there will be a gap (size of two pci slots), go & find a SLI/XFire mobo that places their both PCIE slots side by side, i'm pretty sure that u won't find any there will be two pci slots under the first PCIE, then another PCIE slot under the pci slot

& yes, any cooler design for SLI/XFire means the cooler won't blockin the 2nd vga card, but doe the 2nd vga card stand really under the 1st vga card, nope, there will be 2 pci slots under it

but if u have a card really under the vga, most third party cooler will block it so ur understandings of "i suppose it wont be blocking any PCI slot.." is wrong

u can find a 2pin to 3pin converter (don't ask me where to find it, i dunno)

better use the 3pin converter, lessen the burder of the vga to provide power to the cooler & don't connect the 3pin to the mobo as well, same thing, burden the mobo to provide power, just connect directly to 4pin molex la (which is directly from the psu power source), i said this bcoz of my experience

i got two mobo...
mobo one: all the 3pin on that mobo connects to a fan
mobo two: all fan connects directly to 4pin molex, including the cpu fan, luckily my psu got rpm reader, so i plug that into the cpu fan pin, thus avoiding the mobo to shut down (the mobo will shut down if no fan connects to the cpu --> unless u amend the BIOS to ignore it)...

mobo one: always end up for RMA --> every 6 month (ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe)
mobo two: still standing after 3 years, no RMA

connecting all the fans through fan controller is okay, no burden to any component as u have to connect a 4pin molex to the fan controller too, so same direct source power from the psu

no burden on mobo or vga, but the cons of using fan controller is that usually these controller limited to 4 connection only so i think u are limited to 1 cpu fan, 1 vga fan & 2 case fan, but i'm pretty sure u don't have to control those case fan, mostly ppl only control cpu & vga fan as case fan are already silent, unless u using those high performance DC type of fan

ya i know, mainly ASUS board, the most fan connector available in board (as far as i know)

i didn't connect any VGA Cooler Fan to the mobo, only CPU Fan & Case Fan, that also have to send to RMA many times, can't imagine if i add another VGA Fan on that mobo

cause of so many RMA & one of the RMA took around 2 month, so i decided to buy a new one, then keep the RMA board for backup purposes, till now haven't got the chance to use it, dunno if still working or not (if i could find another 939 Proc, then i have 2 rig )

*2 month = that time A8N-SLI Deluxe become obsolete coz the 32X SLI Version just got out

wonder how much it would cost?

hope this is the best price/performance cooler

nothing changed, just some additional mounting screws i guess

nothing much on the heatsink itself

just the new Accelero S1 Rev. 2 now comes with a new flexible mounting mechanism

multiple screw hole sets

and modifications to the heatpipes enabling it to fit a wider range of leading graphic cards

VR Zone: Accelero S1 Rev. 2 Fits More Graphics Cards
